I started watching this show having no idea what to expect (All I knew was space ship boom boom). What I got is something I'd consider the best sci-fi show I've seen. It was axed after 1 24 episode series, which was a real shame.
Basically, think Battlestar Galactica had a baby with Starship Troopers with elements of Full Metal Jacket.
In terms of military technology, chain of command and characters, it's the most authentic thing as far as sci-fi goes.
Plot:
In 2063, a newly established Earth colony is attacked by an unknown enemy force. The USMC and other Earth Forces are then tied down in a brutal war with a seemingly fearless and technologically superior enemy.
The acting is brilliant as are the scenarios - There's both ground and space battles, with CGI that was considered pioneering for its time (And it isn't overused). The main characters serve as both Space Aviatiors and ground troops. Apparently the cost of production per episode was $1.5m - $2m. If you liked Battlestar Galactica, Starship Troopers or any other military sci-fi I urge you to give this a watch. It's a series that broke new ground and received bugger all recognition for it.

When you post your series try to include a decent amount of information and pictures if you can be arsed. If you just post a title, anyone who hasn't seen it won't have a clue what you're on about.

It's a generic choice but I haven't really seen that many tv shows, only trying to catch up to all the things I missed now
Scrubs.
No other show I have watched has managed to combine absurdist humour and serious character drama as well as Scrubs did.
breaking bad

Started watching this on Netflix because I hoped it'd be as good as Breaking Bad or Mad Men.
It definitely is.
[B]Plot[/B]: Hell on Wheels is an American Western television series created and produced by Joe and Tony Gayton. Set in 1865 in Season One and Two, and 1867 in Season Three, the series centers on the settlement that accompanied the construction of First Transcontinental Railroad, referred to as "Hell on Wheels" by the Union Pacific company men, surveyors, support workers, laborers, prostitutes, mercenaries, and others who make the mobile encampment their home. It stars Anson Mount as Cullen Bohannon, a former Confederate soldier who worked as a foreman on the railroad while attempting to track down the Union soldiers who murdered his wife and young son. He later works on becoming the chief engineer.

That '70s Show. It's a show about, well, the seventies. It focuses on a group of Wisconsin teenagers and their lives, which mostly involves smoking pot and doing senseless and irresponsible, but very fun looking things. There are lots of references to seventies culture and many great guest stars that were famous in the decade, like Mary Tyler Moore and Brooke Shields. All the main characters are lovable for one reason or another, and the cast is absolutely wonderful. It's a show that everyone needs to watch.
