Since Dawn and I are effete, latte-swilling, Obama-supporting liberals,* we don’t have a television. We do, however, watch television series on a laptop.** We’re running out and need suggestions.
Dawn and I mix up series like The Wire and Deadwood with guilty pleasures like Veronica Mars and the first few seasons of 24. We’re starting on The Corner. Sopranos didn’t grab us. From that list, it looks like character-driven dramas with season-long story arcs are good. Depressing is certainly OK.
We also started watching Joan of Arcadia and Dead Like Me, both of which later migrated to whole-family viewing.
With the kids, we’ve watched Buffy, Angel, Dark Angel, Tru Calling, and Lost.
Sophie and I have watched Battlestar Galactica, but Dawn and Paul are not wild about outer-space SF.
Suggestions?
* Effete, latte-swilling liberals, but also salt of the earth Midwesterners who have both*** delivered calves by hauling on chains.
** Think of a depression-era family huddled around a radio. Salt of the earth, like I said.
*** Well, I’ve only done it once. Not so fun I’d make it a habit.
