Re: I need a new show/fandom

I second the Arrow and Grimm suggestions above.

I'm just now getting into season one of Arrow, and I'm really enjoying it more than I thought I would. Massive character growth for Oliver Queen, the millionaire playboy shipwrecked on an island for five years before coming back as a vigilante and to right his father's wrongs. (Character growth mostly seen through flashback and other people's current perception of him based on how he was). Plenty of action and an interesting father/daughter relationship between a cop out to get Queen's alter ego and his daughter, who used to date Queen before he took her sister on the yacht that wrecked for some sexy fun times.

Grimm took a few episodes to get cooking, but I really like it. A lot of people complained that the main woman in season one was boring and useless, but I disagree with that assessment -- and as the series progresses she gets more to do, as does another woman introduced -- and there's an interesting character arc for yet a third woman, too. Plus a great bromance and Sasha Roiz. Its mytharc can get a little twisty and confusing, but it has good standalone episodes, too.

I'd also suggest Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Because, yes, John is in high school, but that's such a background thing to everything else. There wasn't really much in the way of closure for its final season, but it ended in such a way that really spun things forward and gave plenty of things to imagine, which was fun for me.

If you have Hulu, I always always always recommend Journeyman. Kevin McKidd plays a reporter who has a little time-travel problem. It's *kind of* Quantum Leapy, but not nearly as cheesy. Plenty of great characters, male and female, plus an amazing brother dynamic where the older brother (played by Reed Diamond) is just done with his little brother's crap (Kevin McKidd as the aforementioned time traveler), but can't stop caring about him either. It's 13 episodes of wonderful and manages to end at pretty much a perfect spot for a shortlived series. Plenty of closure.

I hesitate to recommend Castle. Because I love the first three seasons, and hated a big chunk of the fourth. It managed to climb back onto my good side by the end of that season, but for me there's been a steady inching downward in these past two seasons. There are still good things, but these days the casework is just so...rote. But I really like the first three and part of the fourth season.
