Number 2 on my list.

HUGE in scale and (without wanting to sound a bit "arty farty") genuinely has layers of depth i have never before seen on screen.


Might have to whistle the below as i walk round the office in a bad mood today....

:D
 
The Wire, easy number 1.
Breaking Bad (still haven't watched the last series)

Can't think of many more, watched loads but got bored after 1 or 2 series ie Homeland, Game Of Thrones, House etc.
 
The Wire
The West Wing
House of Cards
NYPD Blue
CSI (before Grisham left)

I only dipped in and out if The Sopranos, and have never seen Breaking Bad or 24....Forgive me !!
 
GoT - being the only drama that I've watched for 5 series. Though from back then The Man from Uncle and The High Chaparral I loved, and as far a comedy-drama - I give you the original Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) and Alias Smith and Jones
 
Srixon1 - That first series in particular was superb. So different to anything else. I can't be doing with Keeley "whispering" Hawes so that ruined the second series for me.

Interesting to see how many modern US dramas are dominating this thread.
 
You could throw in a sub-section here of "Best ending ever to a series".

Life on Mars was good but the ending of Ashes to Ashes blew it out of the water with its brilliance.
Quantum Leap ended superbly too unlike all the various Trek shows.
And of course 24 never ends as Jack Bauer always finds a way to come back from whatever situation he ended the previous show.
 
I'm sure Johnny said in his OP to limit your choice to just one :whistle:

As far as comedy dramas go, his original choice of Auf Wiedersehen Pet really takes some beating :thup:

blakes seven
was a good ending but the best ever episode for an end of series has to be MASH.
 
And back in the '80s me and my g/friend (now Mrs SILH) were avid watchers of Thirtysomething (because we both were) and Twin Peaks (well I wasn't) Both great in very different ways. Oh yes - and Morky and Mindy - nanoo nanoo - God Bless you Robin Williams

Only if they are heavy on the Sci-Fi or I can't stand these types of shows. Too little Sci-Fi made, the golden era seemed to be the 90s and early 00s
