I'm not sure about TV series but there is this new movie coming out called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It's about this wizard boy who does some neat stuff. Watch it.

Sons of Anarchy

Also a couple of series that are a few years old that we just finished watching:

Long Way Around
Long Way Down

The first one follows Ewen McGregor and his mate as they ride their motorcycles from London to New York (traveling through Eastern Europe). The second one follows them riding from Scotland down to South Africa (traveling through a significant part of Africa). Both series were amazing, I'd highly recommend them.

As i mentioned in the other thread The Wire is far and away the best TV i have ever watched. I'll throw out Band of Brothers as TV/Mini series as well.

At the minute i'm watching Boardwalk Empire which is also pretty cool & i'm heading to JB to get Sons of Anarchy this weekend!

The Wire? I'll have to look out for that next..

Band of Brothers was awesome... if you liked that, you might like The Pacific.

I thought the Pacific was pretty dissapointing to be honest. The story was part of the problem (it was based on 3 different books not the single story of one company like BoB). Also it examined the "mental" side of war a lot more where BoB seemed to be more action based. Kind of like comparing THe THin Red Line to Savinng Private Ryan.

I'm a bit of a history buff and have read extensivly on Easy Company and the 101st airborne as well which probably plays into my intense love of BoB!

Well other than Game Of Thrones, there is only 1 other tv series that need even be mentioned... It's been a long time coming but finally in Oct we can all get to kick it back and watch some of the best zombie action ever to hit the little screen! Yes that's right I am talking about season two of The Walking Dead!

After that teaser of 6 "finger-licking good" (pun intended) episodes they delivered in season 1, everyone should be famished and more than ready to devour this next season which has a double helping serve compared that initial tid bit they served up. Don't anyone even try to tell me you're not starving for this one! ;-)

Sons of Anarchy + a billion. Awesome, awesome show about a bikie gang and all the stuff they get up to amongst themselves, rival biker gangs and the law. Can't wait for the next season. Anything that Ron Perlman is in is good too.

Possibly the best theme song ever too. The crow flies straight.........
