Hey, I'm looking to expose myself to more colloquial chinese. Figured watching Chinese dramas might be a good way. Does anyone have any good Chinese drama serials to recommend?

Check out the "Grand First Episode project" on Chinese Forums. The 19+ page thread is chock full of recommendations from a language learner's perspective.http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/16784-the-grand-first-episode-project/

I've watched quite a few, here are some recommendations:
中国式离婚 （蒋雯丽，王志文）
天道 （王志文）
手机 （陈道明， 王志文）
我的青春谁做主
冬至 （陈道明）
黑洞 （陈道明）
玉观音
金婚 （张国立， 蒋雯丽）
国家干部 （王志文）
Of course this is personal preference, but I believe most Chinese (depending on age) will tell you most of these include the best actors in china (陈道明， 王志文，蒋雯丽， 张国立）。 Some of these are a few years old. Since we've had children, there hasn't been much time to watch Chinese dramas these days.

谁来伺候妈is also a good one although the actors are not very famous,but the story is pretty Chinese.And 北京爱情故事 is not bad as well I think.
@Germainetay87,There is also an old but good one I like: 摩登家庭 (modern family). A good show surprisingly produced by CCTV....--Echoecho@popupchinese.com
