Most addictive TV shows.
 

What are your most addictive TV shows? Show's that you watch but can't stop once you've watched a few eps.

Mine are:
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Homeland
Lost
Californication
Peep Show

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

24 is the easiest answer for me.

24. Outside of season 6 that show was like crack.

24 or The Wire for me.

24
Twin Peaks
Lost
The Sopranos

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Lost, 24 S1, Breaking Bad, Homeland, and Terriers were all crack for me.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

There are shows I like, but then there are those shows that I NEED to see what happens next. That doesn't mean these are my favorite shows, but they're designed to leave you on cliffhangers and such.

Breaking Bad and the first seasons of Heroes and 24 (the first season) are the best examples of this I can think of. Babylon 5 at points was this way as well.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Not exactly what you're asking but Lost Girl. I save the show and then never really have a desire to watch them. Then I watch one and I end up watching them all in a row.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Gotta agree with everybody about 24. My list also includes Person of Interest, Prison Break, Dexter and Game of Thrones.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

If the desire to watch them over and over again decades after they aired.

Miami Vice and the Twilight Zone

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

MST3K
Batman The Animated Series
Power Rangers
Murder She Wrote (for me, anyways)
Mythbusters

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Walking Dead. It's one of those shows where big stuff rarely happens. I enjoy it a lot. But I'm never satisfied when the episode is over.

The opposite would be American Horror Story. Stuff moves along and rarely lingers. They rush the story along and give us plenty of details.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

That's a good list, but I'd add Game of Thrones to it.

OZ
Breaking Bad
Luther
Stargate
Homeland

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Doctor Who

The Shield.

Power Rangers
Highlander
Carnivale
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (sometimes)

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

My addiction is Shameless.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

UK or US?

Red Dwarf (seasons 1 through 5)--It was *my* Harry Potter during my adolescence in the early 90s. It was hilarious escapist fare with its fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun. Those PBS marathons were some of the most fun in my life.

Arrested Development
Battlestar Galactica
Parks and Recreation
Community
Damages
Alias
Revenge
Party Down
Melrose Place (original flavor)
Game of Thrones
Farscape
Luther
Homeland

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Definitely Breaking Bad where I ran through 3 seasons in 3 nights.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

24
Person of Interest
CSI Miami

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Prison Break and Game of Thrones are both good ones I forgot.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Seinfeld
The Wire
Breaking Bad

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Yeah, Peep show is brutal. Each season is so short that if I watch an episode, I end up watching the whole season.

Next season should be starting up in November.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

I could understand that if you were talking about the original series from 60s to the 80s. And maybe the ninth and tenth doctors. But this last half season with the 11th Doctor just hasn't been any good. The one with the invading cubes was good, but that's it.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Episodes is really good too and quite addictive there's a lot going on in it. How To Make It In America is a good show it only lasted two seasons but the eps were worth binge watching.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

My Shameless addiction is for the U.S. version.

Re: Most addictive TV shows.
 

Thanks for your feedback on my opinion. It has been duly noted and dispensed of.

In its prime, 24 was the most addictive TV show I have ever watched. It's the show I've watched the most of in one day. I went through 4 discs on a Saturday back in high school.

24
Heroes-1st season

Had the first season of 24 for a couple of years before I watched it all in one weekend. Had to order the next season & did the same. Ordered the next couple of seasons & spent weekends watching the whole season. So much fun to watch it all at once with no commercials or waiting for the next weeks episodes. Forced myself not to watch current episodes but wait until they came out on dvd to watch the entire season.

Was obsessed with the first season of Heroes. Constantly checking out this forum & others to keep up with everyone's thoughts & ideas. Season two quickly cured me of this obsession.
