TV Boxsets to watch

[wrighty1874]

House of Cards, brilliant
The State Within, top draw
The Bridge, riveting
The Killing, well worth a watch

A bit older and not sure if on Netflix, but Spooks was great.

 

[Chisteve]

Fresh Meat is good, I think all 3 series are on 4OD on sky anyway

Reminds me of the young ones

Done most of the mentioned Wire, 24, homeland, spooks, Following etc all vv good Ive got to secure BB

My suggestion would be a v large (about 7 series) US black comedy I and in fact even my wife would recommend and loved over the years is Rescue Me. Takes a little while to engage it and not sure if anyone has seen it before? Its about a post 9/11 FDNY fire house which is headed, and written by the highly talented and funny Denis Leary. Ive got hours of it downloaded from Sky and watch it gradually at weekends over a large single malt... ( You would get it if you've watched it ) Give it a go. Brilliant casting, outstanding characters. It explores and pushes every boundary and human controversy from sex, violence, drugs, alcoholism, family, brotherhood, comradeship, hate more sex, and everything in between. Its hilarious and engaging at one point then hugely sad and depressing at others. Love it.

I cant believe nobody has said Arrow yet? Highly recommended from myself!

And definitely breaking bad, by far the best TV series I have ever seen!

 

[Slab]

I'm another who's only managed two episodes of breaking bad (I shouldn't have to persevere to be entertained)

Can't really help with recommendations except to say... Still Game! thup its a sitcom so not sure its what you're after though

I'm sure there was a thread recently......somewhere

Been looking for a decent series to watch after loving the Sopranos..

Tried Breaking Bad but after 1 and a half episodes I had to quit, too boring dull and dark.:mmm:


I heard Sons of Anarchy (5 series on Netflix) was good, thumbs up for episode 1, is it worth continuing despite the Scottish accent guy

Yes stick with it. In fact it is about episode 2 or 3 that it really kicks off.

I tried BB for four episodes...I'll come back to it one day. Same with True Detective, watched three episodes and gave up.

House of Cards (both series) is excellent.

 

[CMAC]

Yes stick with it. In fact it is about episode 2 or 3 that it really kicks off.

just watched ep 3 last night:thup: and ep 4 summary sounds like a good one- looks like I'll stick with it, mrs CMAC likes it as well for some reason

I love sons of Anarchy and Game Of Thrones. Criminal Minds is a good watch. Law & Order: SVU is well worth a watch too.

Breaking Bad.
Boardwalk Empire.
Sopranos.

If you don't mind subtitles (or you speak Italian) then the best I have watched for a few years is Romanzo Criminale. Not sure if it's on Netflix mind you, but I highly recommend it.

The Sopranos
The Wire
The Shield
Breaking Bad
House of Cards
Entourage
Walking Dead
Suits
Curb Your Enthusiasm

Walking dead!! Completely forgot about that.. HOW

 

[garyinderry]

luther is a good BBC psychological crime drama with idris elba ! :thup:

 

[Val]

No mention of Dexter yet?

It's very good.

Breaking Bad is definitely worth staying with, addictive TV and the only series that topped The Sopranos for me

 

[callummcs]

I liked dexter apart from the last season. Totally ruined it for me. The seasons with Trinity & Doomsday were absolutely fantastic though.

 

[need_my_wedge]

Breaking Bad definitely worth sticking with, does take a few episodes to get into it, but very well worth it.

The West Wing -one of my fav series of all time.

Sons of Anarchy is definitely worth watching, I've finished through season 6, just gets better all the time.

Justified - Absolute fav show ever, just finished Season 5, just a class show.

 

[philly169]

I waited until Breaking Bad had finished before starting it. Misses wasn't too keen to start with but once you get into it it's awesome. Echo what a lot of people have said that it's the best show I've seen with a proper ending.

Love the walking dead. But worried it's not going to go anywhere with revealing any answers.

Nashville is our one to watch at the moment, bit of country drama lol

 

[Paperboy]

Blacklist and Almost Human are new ones that I've enjoyed.

Dexter was pretty disappointed with season 7. So not started on Season 8 as heard it was poor as well. Will get around to it at some point.

Justified - Absolute fav show ever, just finished Season 5, just a class show.

That's a great shout, forgot about Justified. Love that show.
