If you like a bit of Scandi-drama and missed it on BBC4 The Bridge was brilliant - it's available now on Amazon. As is The Killing which was equally great. We've just bought Borgen to take on holiday with us. I missed Homeland but the box set isn't out until October unfortunately. Nothing will ever beat Mad Men but the new series is amazing.
there was also a series called Invasion, which was cancelled after one series, because it was up against Lost and it's marketing millions I suspect, but it was infinitely superior to Lost in every way - better scripted and more tightly plotted. Don't know how easy it would be to get hold of but so worth a look.

Have to 2nd/3rd suggestions for:

- Game of Thrones

- True Blood

- The Wire

- Glee

- Band of Brothers

- The Killing


Also:

- The Office (American version) is sooo good - especially from the second series onwards

- Inbetweeners (might be able to catch on 4oD to see if you like it)

- Misfits (ditto)

second most suggestions given. My top choices are The Killing/The Bridge/The Wire & Mad Men.


Totally agree first series of Prison Break is great, a really original idea, then it all gets ridic.


Also we liked Ashes to AShes when it was on, but had missed Life on mars, so went back and watched all of those (quite often buy series on iTunes), really enjoyed it. Also bought all the series of Waking the Dead which was pretty good.


About to start Breaking Bad...

oh - Quite liked The Hour when it was on, I know it suffered through being compared to Mad Men (unfair on any series!) but did quite enjoy it.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
