Box set recommendation

[JDR]

Hi

I've tried searching in case of previous threads and apologies if covered before... ( surely it has been?)

Recommendations please.... Loved most of the wire, band of brothers, west wing. Don't do horror, do do sci fi/ vampires

All suggestions gratefully received

Prison Break. Amazing!!

[Huguenot]

Netflix is your friend :)

[????]

like Otta says has to be Breaking Bad and all available on Netflix

[El Pibe]

if you do do sci fi then Battlestar Galactica is a must!

[Huguenot]

Goes weird in the last couple of episodes - but great until then.

Every time I see "Box set" I can't help but thinking of the spoof ad in Private Eye.

Box set of all box sets (comes in a 2m square crate) contains every box set ever made.

[Otta]

"Six feet under" doesn't get enough mentions as one of the top drawer sets.

1970s shows. The Persuaders. 1980s shows. Rock Follies. 1990s shows. Twin Peaks and/or X-Files.

I recommend The Tudors. I have the boxed set, used only once. You can have it for ?20. PM if interested and leave a mobile No.

Carnivale, Rome, Stargate, V, although lots of the sci fi is on cable still

[JDR]

Breaking bad and game of thrones seem like a good starting point. You obviously have great taste though as we've also watched quite a few of you suggestions as well ;-)

Which bit of the OP's "I don't do sci-fi" is hard to understand?

The usual Danish suspects are some of the best - "The Killing", "The Bridge", "Borgen". We love "The Good Wife". "The West Wing" is the all-time best though.

"Which bit of the OP's "I don't do sci-fi" is hard to understand? "

errr the bit that actually says "do do sci fi"

Hey! Don't lump me in with El Pube!

[Willard]

Mad Men

Battlestar Galactica

True Blood

Breaking Bad

Dexter

In no particular order....

[Willard]

And how could I forget...

Game of Thrones

[oimissus]

Game of Thrones

True Blood

Deadwood

Spartacus

Must try Game of thrones again, watched the first episode and just couldn't get in to it. I do like that sort of thing usually, so will try again.

Mad Men very good.

Deadwood was brilliant, but just ended so abruptly that it leaves you feeling really annoyed.

True Blood is fun.

Dexter, tried to like it, but just didn't.

Wire, Sopranos, Rome, all good.

Basically if it's made by HBO it will be quality.

Breaking Bad & Mad Men are the best non HBO things I've seen.

Enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Weeds, but that got a bit stupid. Okay, it got REALLY stupid.
