Suburgatory. Started thursday on E4.

The end of season four of Breaking Bad is soooo good.

I'd recommend Psych, as it hasn't been mentioned yet, very funny. Psych (TV Series 2006) - IMDb

Started watching Traffic Light on Netflix USA & that has been pretty funny so far, similar to The League, but without the American Football aspect. Traffic Light (TV Series 2011) - IMDb

Workaholics. Workaholics (TV Series 2010) - IMDb

Far too much mainstream stuff on here considering the OP wanted obscure choices.

Therefore, I give you Night Court (Night Court (TV Series 19841992) - IMDb) - not known by many in the UK as it was aired on some long forgotten satellite channel in the early days of Sky but in the US won several awards for the cast.

They did a bit about this on 30 rock I'd not heard of it before

‘Elementary’ with Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, a modern take on Sherlock Holmes. Based in New York Miller is Sherlock, a recovering addict, with Liu as his case worker, Dr. Joan Watson. He works as a consultant to the NYPD helping with their more bizarre cases. Although it’s produced by CBS it had the production values of HBO. I thought the pilot was very good, felt a bit like CSI without all the gizmos. Worth following. The sort of show Sky will probably pick up.

The league is meant to be very very funny not out here yet if ever? You don't need to enjoy American football just cruel male humour to each other apparently.

It is fantastic. Very fast witted and one liners everywhere. Get involved.

If you can stomach the incredibly irritating lead female actor. I lasted 4 episodes.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Bumping this to give a +1 to 'Southland'. Seriously, watch the first few episodes online and you won't regret it. Completely gripping drama, I just watched an episode in season 3 and at the end I felt like my heart had been pulled out.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

New season has just started and Revolution is well worth a watch as is Arrow.

Currently watching:
Homeland 2 - 9/10
Greys - 7/10
Supernatural season8 - 8/10
Person of Interest 2 - 8/10
The Good wife 4 - 9/10
Once Upon a Time 2 - 8/10
Fringe 5 - 5/10
Arrow 8.5/10
Revolution 8/10
Revenge 2 with wifey 6/10

And cant remember if I managed earlier but absolutely loved Justified and Newsroom

Not sure i can be classed as obscure, but i moved and had no sky for two weeks , what happened in the last two episodes of newsroom ? how did it end ?

 

[Fungus]

I've not seen Lilyhammer mentioned on here, so that must make it obscure? Actually Norwegian-American, but thoroughly enjoying it. Always loved Steven Van Zandt.

Yes. Excellent series. I'm pretty sure More4 are showing Season 4 soon.

I have been watching Breaking Bad, due to recommendations on here. Somebody mentioned that it starts slow and gets better and better each season and they were bang on. I am half way through season 5, so about 8 episodes to go..

Will check out Southland..

Has Damages with Glenn Close been mentioned in this thread? Halfway through Series One and thoroughly enjoying it.
