LondonLogCo Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 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.

JDR Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 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 ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30786-box-set-recommendation/#findComment-631087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

edcam Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 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.

Otta Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30786-box-set-recommendation/#findComment-631393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
