It's not the violence that bothers me per se. I like Game of Thrones and Vikings. I enjoyed Sopranos and Deadwood. I think it's because the setting is in my town and the idea that my "baby" could have possibly been involved in that type of activity, especially since meth was his drug of choice...I think that is what is so disturbing to me.
My hubby is a sci-fi geekoid. We've watched every...single...Star Trek...episode...back to back. After that I made him pick something different, so we watched Hart of Dixie and Army Wives. They're total chick series, but he loved them, and I think I became found of them as well. We've watched every superhero series. We just finished Grimm, which I liked too. Vikings and Deadwood would have to be my favorites out of all of them though.
I love period films and BBC stuff...hubby doesn't like BBC, although he did like Sherlock.
You guys listed a lot of series I haven't heard of, so I think tonight I'll bring your lists to dear hubby.
