Hmm, I didn't find it flat, I found it too violent for my tastes,
particularly psychologically violent.

Don't get me started on Lost. I watched half a season and felt like I
could not stand one more flashback or weak story lacking realism,
continuity, and story progression.

24
I highly recommend watching the 1st season of 24 (and probably only
the 1st season, but stop after the second season if you really want
more ;-) By then Jack Bowers should have saved the world enough times
for you).

Rome
2 seasons was very entertaining, but lots of sex and viol.

House
is a show that I have been meaning to watch more of.

Have a fantastic long weekend everyone!
