Just finished 'Mad Men'....what next?


Recommended Posts

We used to go to the cinema....now we watch DVD box sets! Just getting to the end of Mad Men (series 4...waiting for series 5 to come onto terrestial / DVD) and worrying what to do once it's finished. Any good suggestions of what to try next? (Past views include West Wing, Sopranos, Six Feet Under.....I do the more girlie ones too but need something that Mr NHM will enjoy too.)


Even good quirky film recommendations welcome.


I appreciate that we're probably way behind the times but several years of broken nights has meant many years of curtailed TV time and feels like we gave up keeping up with Time Out a lifetime ago!!

I second some of those above:


Damages - the best we think!

Dexter

The Good Wife (very easy viewing)

Game of Thrones


Also Band of Brothers was amazing and Battlestar Galactica - don't be put off my the war/sci fi themes!

I love box sets! Perfect parental viewing...


All time favourite is the West Wing (amazing amazing!).


Also love:

Sopranos

Damages

Prison Break (season one, the beauty of Wentworth Miller... gets a bit silly after season one)

Gavin and Stacey (so silly, so fab)

True Blood (wasn't sure, now I LOVE it, very camp, very explicit, have season 4 waiting for me!)

Glee - just getting into this, very funny and watchable

Game of Thrones (again wasn't sure, watched first episode twice and then was hooked, very husband-friendly)

House (although didn't like watching when pregnant)

Grey's Anatomy and spinoff (which I prefer) Private Practice (again not one for pregnancy)


If I think of any others I will write again...

(just been gazing at our million-and-one DVDs on the shelf), I feel I should mention Band of Brothers (Mr Oi's favourite) and Battlestar Gallactica, again, he loved and a number of people have said how great they thought it was.


And of course, on the film front, if you want something that's going to last a few evenings, you can't beat a bit of Lord of The Rings - awesome. Quite literally.

    • You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed.  They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can. 
    • Just wondering- what were they arrested for? If you remember 
    • Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.
    • But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you.   And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate.   Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
