I've tried the searchbar, and stupidly enough, I didn't find anything similar at all.
The case is like this: me and a friend both like watching videos, be that movies or series. Lately we've been watching a lot of films together, but A) good movies are harder to come by and B) they usually last quite long - we don't always have 90-120 minutes straight on to spare. Which has lead to us coming up with the idea of watching series/shows instead.
We want to start on a show that'll interest us both, even though we aren't very picky (I've watched Sex and the City with her and she's watched Spartacus with me). We also want it to be a show that's completely new to both of us, so we can start from scratch together. Our only problem is, we have no idea what are possible good options. Any recommendations, Escapist?
Here is a list of stuff either one of us has already seen (in no particular order), to let you know more or less in what direction we're searching - even though, like I said, neither of us is really picky. (M)'s indicate it's a show that just I have (partially) watched, (H)'s indicate shows that just she has (partially) watched and (B) indicates shows we've both (partially) watched;
The only thing left to mention is that we're looking for something 'interesting'. It doesn't *have* to be 'new and refreshing', as long as it keeps a bit of pace and isn't just flat out 'boring'. We've already gone through some more obvious choices (Prisonbreak, 24, Law and Order) and established that those probably wouldn't interest either of us enough.
TL;DR edition: Recommend me a good series to watch, Escapists!
Post away, folks!
