Hi, I don't watch that much television, so there is probably a lot of good stuff I haven't seen.

I'm mainly interested in good shows/movies that has to do with sales (or something similar), and/or where the characters and plots revolve around glibness of tounge and cleverness.

Examples of what I've seen that I'm looking for:

movies:
-boiler room

series:
-suits (cocky OP mc - Harvey that is - love it)
-the mentalist (just love Simon Baker and his portrayal of Patrick Jane. I like that mentalist stuff. Tried the guardian because of him, but it's not anywhere near as good as suits)

What about mad men? I remember seeing an episode some years back, but don't know quite what it's like.
Also by sales, it doesn't nescessarily have to be stockbrokers etc as you can see from my list.

I'm actually watching person of interest (seen 3 seasons).
I liked it. I'll dl some episodes of the new season, since you reminded me of it.
Haven't heard of the other two, I'll definitely check out stalker first then.

ty!

Franklin and bash for your suits but with more comedy.
Then you got scorpion which is like a cross between the mentalist and the big bang theory meets numbers.
Also numbers is a good one as well.
