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.

    • I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
    • Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in  bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was  in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly  or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it.    Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.
    • Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.
    • Well the Italian on Lordship Lane  recommended here was delicious.  Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo.  Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
