Breaking Bad
Apparently this concept was rejected by some major network companies! Who would ever want to watch a TV show about a high school science teacher breaking bad and becoming a meth cook? Turns out everyone does. It pretty much has everything: high intensity drama, good character development, strong story progression, explosions, intrigue, a guy with half a face. Seriously, if it's not the greatest TV series of all time then it's certainly close. Honestly, the only reason I went to see ‘Godzilla’ was to see him get into a fight with Walter White. Couch Potato rating: 4.5/5
Dexter
A serial killer who hunts down and kills serial killers in the name of justice. Almost no other explanation is needed. If you haven't watched this show and you can handle blood then you are doing yourself a disservice. It's about a bunch of bad guys who get hunted down and killed by the nicest bad guy of them all. It's gripping and it's shocking, but the thing I love most about this show is that it actually makes you LIKE a serial killer. In what world was that ever going to happen? Couch Potato rating: 4/5
Friends
I’ve watched ‘Friends’ from start to finish three times at three different times in my life and enjoyed it the same, if not more each time. I don't think I’ve ever seen better chemistry in a cast before. It's hilarious and deep all at the same time. Our aim on this tour of America is to get to Central Perk and sit on those couches… we'll bring our own couches in if we have to. Couch Potato rating: 4.5/5
The OC
This show made me want to write summer tracks. Whoever put together the music to this show has the sickest taste. Hit after hit! We used to have an official ‘OC night’ haha — Tuesday nights 8:30. A big group of us used to make a Mexican fiesta and just love it. It's actually really embarrassing to think about now. Couch Potato rating: 3.5/5
Weeds
So funny! I don't think it got the credit it deserved. One of the best examples of a dark comedy that we can think of. The story of a drug dealing soccer mum who, while being faced every day with the challenge of raising a family, becomes a drug lord. Well and truly pre-’Breaking Bad’, but if you made Walter White look good in a skirt and had him drive all the neighbourhood kids to soccer practice then you'd have this. Couch Potato rating: 4/5
