Neverwhere seems to have really good taste:
Other than that, if you've not seen Battlestar Galactica and Caprica - they are amazing. (and make sure to watch the pilot miniseries of BSG before you start season 1!! its 2 episodes that are like 90mins each i think.. season 1 begins directly after the mini-series with an episode called 33 minutes - make sure you don't start there or you'll ruin the set up for that episode)
BSG is one of my favourite series ever. 4 seasons with an incredible ending. Really worth your while if you like scifi.
Arrested Development - The funniest show I've ever seen - but its a type of humour that's not for everyone - the writing is genius, I can watch this over and over again - So many jokes span seasons - that there might be some small comment made by a character, and if you didn't watch an episode from way in the beginning, you wouldn't get the joke - also only for dedicated viewers.
I love the dry awkward humour of this show. The narrator also adds a nice touch to it.
The 4400 - This one's production values where a little under par with the more expensive shows, but still it turned out to be a better story than heroes - well worth it. Heroes for me went downhill fast after season 1.
Taken - 10 episodes that are movie length each - produced by Spielberg - you gotta see it.
4400 was an amazing concept and still one of the most goosebumps-inducing themesongs for a series. Really wished it carried on longer than the 4 seasons it had.
Taken, with Dakota Fanning, was an exceptional show to watch. 10 episodes that will keep you glued to your seat.
V(2009) This is quite cool - alien invasion remake from the makers of the 4400 - I've only seen half of the first season but it looks really good
Incidentally, Joel Gretsch plays in 4400, Taken as well as V. He plays the same type of settings, but different roles.
Stargate Universe - Now, I did not like the other stargate series - they looked cheap to me - especially SG1. Universe is totally different - the writing is awesome - the production quality is top notch - its a story of its own, so no need to watch anything of the others.
There I'm going to have to disagree with you. SGU felt like they were milking the series and apart from Eli, none of the characters had anything in them that you could relate to. It was them flogging a dead horse. SG1 had Daniel, T'ealc, even Jonas Quinn was cool, SGAtlantis had Dr Carson & Beckett (the alien chick was just plain irritating though.) It also had Jason Momoa as Ronin (He plays the role of Kal Drogo in The game of Thrones.)
The first season of SG1 seemed cheap, but after that it became immensely interesting, the more they made contact. Besides, it has MacGyver in it.
Game of Thrones - High fantasy, well written, great cast - very expensive looking - epic.
Watched the series and busy listening to the audiobook now while driving on the open roads. Keen to get to the 2nd & 3rd book.
Another series I actually really enjoyed was Better off Ted. Only 2 seasons, but brilliant comedy and very endearing.
