What are some good shows for me to watch while abroad?

Where might this abroad be?
If it is important for answering?

@rebbel : Not really – I’m going to Argentina, however. I have certain proxies that would let me watch American television online.

If you’re going somewhere new, why on earth would you watch tv?!?

@syz : There are going to be down times where I can’t leave campus for various reasons, and at night, etc.

It’s not really relevant.

@syz I see.
How about The Wire?

@rebbel : Isn’t that a cop show? I’ve heard about it but it was on before I was born (I think). Thank you.

How old are you then? Six? Nine!? :-)
It was shown between 2002 and 2008 (in the USA)
And yes, ‘it’s a cop show, in my view the best ever to be aired.

@rebbel Did you ever watch The Shield?

@troubleinharlem All Latin American countries get TV shows from everywhere, either through cable or DirecTV. If the place you are going to has either one you are all set for a lot of your fave American shows.

@Porifera Nope, I was told before about it though, so when it will be shown on tv here I will give it a try.
Thanks!

@rebbel Oooopsie you’re in Holland, thought you were in the US :)

Game of Thrones
Breaking Bad
The Killing
The Walking Dead
Boardwalk Empire

Definitely The Wire. I hate cop shows, but that was some of the greatest television ever.

edit: Generation Kill was also excellent.
