Any advice for quality TV Series to watch with gf?

Anecdotal at best. You're only saying that because you have few female visitors over and therefore few viewers when watching it yourself.

I mostly base my **** of this

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0306414/ratings
40975 male voters avg 9.6
4323 femalte voters. avg 9.3
but for example i tried it with my better half we have this rule 3 epsiodes before you decide. so yeah after 3 epsiodes she stopped she did not vote. she votes on stuff she has seen

so 10% is female viewers

to compare.

so yeah you have 1 f the rare female viewers.
i know 2 females who watched the wire. and all my male friends did(and trust me i recommended it to every single one(even lend them my dvd).

This is a poor analysis and use of data. Bridesmaids, a chick flick if ever there was one (despite being vulgar), was voted on by over twice as many males than females. In short, I would assume that the site is one simply frequented much more by males than by females.

Your shim sounds you need to dump herim.
 
The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, New Girl...

I don't know. Just listing off shows I've been watching. If she doesn't like gore, horror, or comedy, well then...nevermind. For you...there's enough nudity and "sexy sexy" scenes and rubber suits in American Horror Story to keep you entertained for more than half an hour. And New Girl is funny...if you have a weird sense of humor like me.

Watch Full House or something. You can never go wrong with Danny Tanner.
 
to be honest prison break SUCKS.

season 1 is extremly Good. they should have ended it then and there. but it jumped the fence pretty quick.

i think prison breka holds the record for quality difference between greatest season and worse season

Yeah, we're noticing that the series is going downhill fast.
 
What did you think of the finale of Homeland?
Hmmm... I'll try to not post any spoilers, but stop reading anyways if you haven't seen it.

I loved the series, and I feel horrible for saying this, but I almost wish brody ould not have listened to his daughter on the phone! But I guess they want a season 2! I also loved Claire Daynes and am interested to see where they go next year. The finale was very up and down for me though. I loved it and hated it at the same time.

I loved American Horror Story. OP might want to go find the thread discussing prople's favorite shows from the last year.

This show made me realize something. I've been watching so many excellent series on AMC, HBO and SHO, to the exclusion of watching very many movies, but something is missing. Homeland drove it home. I was looking for a climax and resolution. I didn't get that. I'm tired of no climax, I NEED A CLIMAX SO BAD!

I'm not going to watch Homeland next year bacause I don't need to watch another evening soap opera. Loved the show right up until they denied me a climax.

Spartacus, blood fesival, too many muscular men, maybe when I'm back to the gym next summer, I give it a shot. Thanks Scat, for advice.

Californication, she may like this. Looking into it.. Thanks, Gameface.

The Wire, sounds interesting but I really don't think I can survive 60 mins. I can hardly watch movies, I know I'm weird. Thanks, Wes.

Modern Family, that Sofia Vergara disinclined me, don't know why. True Blood, too long for me. Glee, didn't like their music. The Big Bang theory, looks funny, plus that four idiots may make me look like the coolest guy. Will consider it, thanks Dutch and TheSilencer1313.

Homeland, unfinished and didn't like the theme. Curb your enthusiasm, there were ones who say "give it a try If you loved Seinfeld". So I did, I've watched the first episode. And I hated it. Maybe it's my bias, but whatever... Bored to Death, will consider it. Thanks for advices, Mr. McGibblets.

Arrested Development, actually I've seen this series and liked it. Thanks anyway Colton.

Trading Spaces, thanks anyway ShaggyReal.

How I Met Your Mother, after the longest journey of my TV experience as with Seinfeld, I'm not into this kind of long series. Breaking Bad, it does look rough. Thanks anyway, dantheman.

Game of Thrones, too popular here in Turkey, so you know what I mean, it's like Lakers. Plus 60 mins. Thanks though, Hantlers.

The Walking Dead, man I was almost gonna throw up my lunch while looking into this. American Horror Story, long and weird, interesting though. New Girl, I would try it, but, I had a crush with that big blue eyed girl(Zooey Deschanel) and my gf knows it. Thanks for advices, jazz_fanatic.

Millsapa, thanks for your suggetions too, I will look into them.

Special thanks to Franklin, his answer was different and kinda motivated me to do some stupid and crazy things.

But my most special thanks go to the "default".

Hey default, I can't believe this. I searched for "The Vampire Diaries" and I was shocked by the results. The lead girl Elena is almost identical with my gf, it's f* unbelievable. I'm searching the net for her last two hours and it makes me only more surprised. Their voices are close too. Elena is a bit more dark-skinned though. Now I found out she is Bulgarian, and my gf is Greek, what a coincedence! Now I'm eager to tell my gf about this show. By the way, I was uncertain to start this thread because it's kinda stupid but now I'm glad for I did. This is so weird, I think I found what I'm looking for. Thanks to you "default", thanks a lot my friend...:)

Enjoy. FYI, this is season three, so there are plenty of episodes to catch up on.

That's a great way of explaining it - climax. That's what was frustrating to me. Watching so many HBO and AMC shows lately has also made me realize the story development in movies is just so shallow. They don't do it for me like a good, well developed, tv story.
 
some legitimately good suggestions in here.

since summer is coming up, i would add the legal dramedy's on tnt. Franklin & Bash (hilarious) and Suits (pretty damn entertaining).
 
Try the old HBO series, Rome.

Too bad you attention span sucks... Downton Abbey is a lock for the females.
 
I can't think of anything better to rekindle the love than to put as little effort into something as possible.


Lose 40 lbs and take her dancing. Get completely ****faced and splurg the $17 netflix subscription on a cab ride home, then show her your locker room humor isn't just for the locker room in the back seat.

Rent a snowmobile and buy a nice bottle of wine. Take her to the middle of nowhere and break out the fake crystal. Throw down the bear skin rug and show her your locker room humor isn't just for the locker room.


Whatever you do, don't pretend acting like a 60 year old hermit is going to do the same for her that young buck MK11 did.

lol

I missed this gem the first go around.
