TV that's watched in a TV-less house

[slowfox]

Have just ordered Prison Break S2 off the 'bay.

I bought S1 a while back, on a whim, and really liked it. However, I'd heard conflicting opinions on the later series, so had shelved the idea of following the story any further. But then I lent the DVDs to a work colleague, who got, erm, a little obsessed with the programme (or Wentworth Miller in particular), and she then rented S2, and has been telling me that it's definitely worth seeing. So, she'd better be right...

The other shows I've been following at Castle Fox are Heroes (I've got S1 and S2, but have to wait until October for S3 to come out on DVD) and Battlestar Galactica (Seasons 1-3 watched, I own Razor but haven't watched it yet, and am hoping that they'll release S4 as one box set, rather than the two halves it's currently in).

So. Prison Break, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica. What else is good?

Have you watched Numb3rs?

[slowfox]

No - not even heard of it! Will Wiki to discover more...

To supplement whatever you've found: it's a mystery series of sorts. One brother works for the FBI in Los Angeles, working to solve crimes. His younger brother is a math genius, teaching at a fake CalTech. He uses math to help his FBI brother solve the cases. Good show - we enjoy it. Just finished S5, so hopefully you could find the first four on DVD.

Ooh, will definitely keep an eye out for that one, then. Geeky stuff tends to appeal, y'see :-)

If you do decide to check it out: S1 starts off more violent and darker than the rest of the show ends up being. I mean, sure, they're solving often violent crimes, but when Will and I went back and viewed S1 on DVD, we were rather surprised at how the feel of it had apparently changed.
