American Gothic - Series 1

Whilst this show didn't always make sense, it had a great atmosphere and was very watchable. Watching this show always gave me that nice, warm, comfortable feeling. The plot feels a little rushed in places and the characters don't always seem to stay true to themselves (and some just disappear completely with loose ends everywhere). But despite its flaws, I still love this series.

Carnivale - Series One

I couldn't stop watching this show, the main good vs evil theme really keeps you eager to watch the next episode to see how it progresses. The atmosphere is again fantastic, the colour palette used really reflects the mood of the Dustbowl - desperation and poverty being rife.
