In Reply to: I'm a relative newbie to tv miniseries: I liked "Deadwood" a hell of a lot. Take a moment, posted by tinear on May 15, 2011 at 16:14:00:
They are all full-fledged series, even though cable uses a 10-12 episode season compared to network 22 episode definition. (ok, enough snarkiness on my part)Going back a ways, "Homicide: Life On The Streets" is probably the greatest police series ever broadcast. It was created and written by veteran Baltimore crime reporters and cops. It may seem dated by today's standards, but the writing and acting is truly superb. They have episodes that nothing can come even close to.
"The Wire" picked up the torch from "Homicide" and took it even farther. A truly amazing series.
Currently, "Breaking Bad" which is on USA Channel. It is excellent, but may take 2-3 episodes to get into. The show is entering it's 4th season.
"Nurse Jackie" and "United States Of Tara" are both very good, but may be a matter of personal taste.
Are you any bit of a SciFi fan? Try the first two seasons of "Battlestar Gallactica". I think it was excellent, although others around here did not.
Also, "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles" is far more intelligent than any of the movies. Although, that is not hard to achieve.
Oh, and as Enophile mentioned, "Dexter is excellent. It's about a serial killer who stalks other serial killers. Wickedly biting and suspenseful.
