The High-end TV Series Thread
I stumbled across this BBC production and immediately became hooked. After watching 4 episodes I pulled my wife and daughter in the re-watched with them, all the way through the 8 episodes of the the first season. If you like whodunits and the high quality of BBC dramas, I highly recommend this one. Apparently it became quite the rage in Great Britain.
Trailer for Season 1:

Be careful of spoilers -- pay attention to Season 1 before you get into Season 2.
There is an American version called "Gracepoint" but it is vastly inferior. Don't bother with that one.
Season 2 begins on BBC America in March.

James Spader is just awesome. And the depth of the plot line of the show is impressive.
That's my guilty pleasure show. Totally unbelievable but wonderful. You're right, Spader is great -- without him and his character, there's no show. I've watched every episode from the beginning.

Well, in The Blacklist you know none of it could really happen, so it's just a tale. In American Odyssey it seemed like the filmmakers were taking themselves much too seriously. Maybe it is just me.
