My watched serials are in post

Since then, I've finished 5 seasons of "24". It's essentially somewhat similar in the plot elements - terrorists, Jack Bauer, CTU, President, too many geeks on either side, bodies falling all around, torture, incredibly fast networks accessed by incredibly powerful systems, sacrifice, tough decisions made within a short time frame. It is however very interesting when run as a marathon (2-3 episodes a day with 5-8 on a Sat and Sunday) where you do not stop to think and just watch it. Hope the remaining 3 seasons engage me the same way and not go the way Kiefer's increasingly receding hairline.
Watched 3 seasons of "Heroes" - two too many, IMHO. It was a good concept, but execution was lacking. I liked Zachary Quinto as Sylar and to some extent, the character (bit not all the story lines) of Hiro.
Finished Firefly + Serenity yesterday. It was a nice series, but the movie did not totally satisfy me because all along I was thinking that had the series continued, the story arc would have run two complete seasons == more fun and less cinematic elements. Nathan Fillion does his cool, funny, but serious when called for thing - same way he does 'Castle' now.
Next in line is "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", followed by "Gods of Arena". Gonna catch up "Lost" sometime later. May be I'll finish "Twin Peaks" before that.
Thinking of the following series. Are all these worth watching?
- The Wire
- Rome
- Game of Thrones
- Sherlock
PS: I seem to have a liking for brilliant, but socially awkward characters like Mr. Monk from 'Monk', Temperance Brennan from 'Bones' and Walter Bishop from 'Fringe'. Any other series with lead/main characters such as these?
