I don't understand what's cliched about it at all.

Is it the Shield or the Unit in which some guy complains about being assigned a nigger partner in precisely those terms?

Deadwood!

Deadwood's quite good.
Especially Ian McShane's performance. He's just made for that role.
The Calamity Jane character is fucking annoying, though.

Also the first three seasons of Nip Tuck are pretty watchable.

I started watching it a few days ago not due to this thread ... to be honest the only reason I'm watching it is because I am running out of new shows ...other than the main character which could do better work with better material the rest of the characters just seem flat and too stereotypical for their time. The stories are also somewhat uninspired to a point where it should only worth an early day slot.

nothing personal but this show doesn't deserve to be mentioned amongst the rest in this thread.

He said he wanted a new drama to watch, it's a new drama that i like. I agree that it needs improvement in the areas that you mentioned, but it has potential. We'll see whether it matures or goes under, but for now I find it interesting.

Some of the shows mentioned here I didn't like...so its all a matter of opinion.

don't you think the main character looks and acts alot like a younger Mel Gibson?

Cheers for the recommendations. Going to get Firefly methinks. Might follow it up with Tudors.

Rome was by the BBC and it owned :offended:
