Can anyone recommend me a series?

Are you primarily looking for shows you can get in a boxed set, or are you interested in current series as well?

As far as new, i.e., still in production, series, I'd recommend Alphas (which has already been mentioned) and Falling Skies. But then I am uncertain as to your tastes, e.g., You liked Lexx, but didn't like Warehouse 13. Hard to draw any inferences from that.:confused:
 
Yes, Colonel Tigh. But Adama said he'd have done the same thing. Of course he could just have been supporting his officer in public.

@clovis-man - yes, boxed sets. I don't watch much TV and I always end up missing episodes and losing track of a series on TV.

I think I have enough now to last a while. I watched the pilot of Supernatural yesterday and it was extremely spooky. I haven't been creeped out by anything for a long time. I like the leads too which helps.

Analysing why you like one thing and not another is difficult. I like quirky, original things. Warehouse 13 is certainly quirky, but derivative. But Terminator was also derivative and I liked that a great deal. I suppose it's all about the writing and casting and I don't think either was very strong on Warehouse 13.

Ah. Well, I have to say that Lexx is certainly quirky. But I didn't think the writing or the casting was stellar either. To each their own. To paint a bullseye on my back, I love the old Kolchak: The Night Stalker series. It's available as a box set btw.

Another box set I enjoyed a great deal was Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner. And of course, the original series, The Outer Limits, is also out there in a DVD set.
 
The only reason I watch Warehouse 13 is because my kids like it and we watch it together. I don't hate the show because I realize it's aimed at kids/families but the writing is pretty terrible.

Kolchak was terrific mostly because of Darren McGavin, a different actor and it would probably have been terrible.

I agree completely. He was terrific. But I am definitely looking forward to seeing how Johnny Depp fares with the character.
