I would like some recommendations of good TV and movies to watch. I am not looking for where to find them, but rather what to watch. What has everyone watched recently or is watching currently that they think would be good for others to watch?

I started watching "The strain" yesterday, which has got me engrossed. also been watching "Person of interest" recently as well.

Anything else you could recommend.

try:
Ray Donovan (2nd season just finished)
Gang Related (1st season just finished)
a new series of Sons of Anarchy starts soon.
have you watched Vikings yet?

How about some older ones like:
Lost
Prison Break
American Horror Stories

Falling Skies (alien invasion flick)
Doctor Who (yes, it's baaaack)
The Blacklist
Longmire
Marvel's Agents of Shield
Arrow
Helix (similar to Strain)
The Last Ship (another biotox series)
The Mentalist
Walking Dead

Most of these series are/were on summer break, but should be returning towards end of september.

There's also a new series called Gotham - about the beginnings of all the villains EXCEPT batman...

How about

Sherlock Holmes (brit version) and Penny dreadfull (scaaary)

Modern family
True detective
Parks & rec
Mad men
Walking dead

I wouldn't recommend the latest 24. It's extremely cheesy, especially the things that that president says

Watched Noah with Russel Crowe starring this week, thought it was a great film :)
