What now?? and how can that ever be topped??
Kept me going through a few shi!e trips offshore.
I have finished Dexter, and nothing else is catching my eye at the moment. Help!!
Boardwalk Empire ?
The Wire ?
Sons of Anarchy?
I am in the same boat.....nothing will ever come near.
Definitely The Wire, it's amazing. Give it time though, it takes a few episodes to get into
I have already watched The Wire and The Shield. I thought they could not be beaten till Breaking Bad. God i am lost !!
Go old skool, Oz is still one of my favourite series.
I assume you've already seen (the incredible) Band of Brothers and (to a lesser extent) The Pacific?
The Sopranos? I'm on the third season, it's good but certainly doesn't excite me like The Wire did.
The West Wing?
Boardwalk Empire, you are next 🙂
Yep seen Band of Brothers. Fantastic 🙂
I am gonna watch Kes tonight.
Isn't there a Saul Goodman spin-off planned? Fingers crossed....
Better call Saul...
Mike Ehrmentraut is now set to appear too!!
But did Walt die?!
Justified might be up your alley
Hell on Wheels looks promising. Just started watching a couple of weeks ago. (ITV4 10pm tonight)
My name's Cougar and I'm a Breaking Bad survivor.
After a brief foray into scifi with two seasons of Continuum, I'm now thoroughly enjoying working through Person of Interest.
The Walking Dead
Prison Break was better than I thought it would be.
but then Season 2 came along, and rrrreeeeaaaaallllyyyy dragged (imo)
The bridge
Deadwood - is waaay better than Hell On Wheels and a worthy follow up to BB
Game of Thrones - obviously
Battlestar Galactica - a bit spiritual in places
Justified - very very good bit of a slow burner
Firefly/serenity -short and very sweet
Fringe -clever twist on x-files
Sons of Anarchy - cheesey but
Twin Peaks- the original thinky TV series does get weird
Sopranos - the next thinky one after twin peaks, it was a long gap
Oz - gritty a bit camp, worth watching
Carnivale - axed too soon but had something good
Deep Space Nine- no really long term story arc was excellent
Babylon 5- if you can handle DS9 youre in for a treat!
Suernatural - silly, gory, bromance, lots of series though
Spartacus- boobs n gore
Rome- like spartacus only a bit more grown up, 2nd series was too rushed
The Killing (swedish version)gripping story, great acting cozy jumpers
The Bridge (Danish version) see above, less jumpers
stuff ive not watched but wanna
boardwalk empire
vikings
house of cards
I finished [i]The Wire[/i] and gave up TV.
But I'm now building up to [i]Breaking Bad[/i]... judging by one American friend's [i]utter[/i] devotion, I know it's gonna be good.
Boxelder, just finished the Bridge. I have full on Insomnia after being on nights for 2 weeks and found it on my Catch up TV on Virgin. Really good.
Kimbers. Top post. Ill have to do some googling and work out what is next. Boardwalk Empire i think.
TRUE DETECTIVE
Only on episode 3 at the moment (bumped for superbowl, wtf!) but it's insanely good so far.
Mathew Macconaughey is superb, as is Woody Harrelson..... not funny, but very dark. Feels a bit like Se7en.
Lillyhammer on netflix is really good watch
These have been mentioned already but my favourites post BB are:
Sons of Anarchy
Walking Dead
Firefly
The Killing
The Bridge
I watched Battlestar Galactica but got bored by the end, first season is great though.
Anyone tried the hannibal series?
please....no spoilers about whether he dies or not 🙂
just watched another 2 episodes tonight on netflix, currently midway through series 3. we'll be in the same boat when its finished, so bookmarking this thread for future reference 🙂
Anyone tried the hannibal series?
I thought it was superb, an amazing dark atmosphere I'd not seen the likes of before, the acting is top drawer.
just started watching Helix, seems interesting so far but not sure how far it can go.
+1 True Detective looks very promising so far
Netflix? I jumped straight into House of Cards after finishing Breaking Bad about three weeks ago. As much as I enjoyed Breaking Bad and would argue it's probably the most original series in a long time, I enjoyed House of Cards more. Brilliant. Finished the series over a long weekend...
The killing
24
Homeland
Just starting BB only 4 episodes in. Lots to come!!!!
I don't know what episode we are on, but Skyler's just texted to say the baby's coming and Walt's got a deal to make!!
All from Netflix:
The Bridge
House of Cards
and the little-known and very under-rated:
Spiral
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477507/
Brilliant, gritty French cop show. I aspire to the insouciance of Gilou.
Just watched Under The Dome Season 1 (staring Hank from BB) and also watching The Blacklist.
The Shield,
The Shield.
The Shield.
Might I suggest 'Orange is the New Black'?
True Detective. just sat and watch the first 3 episodes, potential to be up there with the best of them. McConaghy is turning out to be an outstanding actor these days.
Have to second stuartie's suggestion for spiral, engaging plot, brilliant characters, reminds me every time I watch it why I love France so much.
French woman wearing a vest, simply does not get better than that.
McConaghy is turning out to be an outstanding actor these days
^ going to watch Dallas Buyers Club this weekend, on the strength of his performance in True Detective.
batfink, you'll not be dissappoint, superb performance. shout out for jared leto too in that.
I can't say enough good about Justified. Utterly under rated and with the best characters of any series. It just keeps on giving.
+1 for House of Cards and the second series starts on 14th Feb
Game of Thrones
Hannibal
Banshee
Eastbound and Down
I'm working my way through life on Mars on Netflix, and will be watching ashes to ashes after that. Not seen them since they were on TV first time round. Well worth a watch if you've not seen them before
I can't get on with Breaking Bad, what is wrong with me?
I think all bases have been covered in previous posts. Wire, The Bridge, The Walking Dead, Sopranos and Band of Brothers are all unmissable.
Quick question, does Sons of Anarchy come back after the Irish bit because I gave up then as it got a bit silly.
Yeah we all like to forget the terrible Irish accents. The cartel becomes the new baddies luckily
Same IRA involvement in Oz brought extra shakiness
I'm also watching True Detective (its going to be on Sky Atlantic in the UK, so ... you know what to do) - it is looking to be great stuff
apparently each season will be a new story with a different cast
McConaghy is so good - if you want to see other recent stuff he's great in then try Killer Joe and Mud.
No-one else caught Hell On Wheels?
Justified is very good Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins are both great in it.
Only show missing off the list is The Blacklist dunno if it's out in the UK yet, kind of over the top but James Spader is excellent as Red.
Californication was good for a giggle
Justified
Sons of Anarchy
+1 for Wire, the Shield, Justified and Sons of Anarchy
If you don't mind french subtitles, Braquo is brilliant.
Have a look at Falling Skies which is a low budget alien invasion thing, but well done.
But for retro great series from the 80's i picked up all 3 series of Tour of Duty off Amazon, great original Vietnam series.
Just finished BB yesterday. Very good. l thought the twist at the end of season 4 was brilliant. Never saw it coming at all.
Was going to watch The Wire next but its not on Netflix! Grrrr.
I am a Breaking Bad addict.
house of cards has helped me move on.
i simply cannot be bothered with series that go on, and on, and on.
and on.
and on.
and on.
Reading all these has made me realise i have a life, Band of Brothers being the only one i've ever watched.
Forgot about Banshee, pretty brutal at times but brilliant programme.
Didn't get Breaking bad at all.
Where are ppl watching true detective, as it's not on sky yet (unless on a demand option?)? I am looking forward to it, but I've always like McConaghy & Harrelson is a bonus
I'll agree with Person of interest is good, though don't expect it to be too deep just good fun, I'd suggest Justified and the Black list come into the same category - all three are very watchable (take you brain out though).
As for Banshee, what a crock of shite.
Some good recomendations above, and glad to see Life on Mars getting a mention, Ashes to Ashes however does not live up to it.
Can I add Six Feet Under to the list of absolutely top draw shows to watch, up there with The Wire, The Sopranos etc
and Heroes to the list of good stuff, along with Sons of Anarchy, Justified, Person of Interest etc
[i]As for Banshee, what a crock of shite[/i]
Totally agree - one writer's wnak fantasy.
Southland repeats are on Chan4 late at night. Great series.
Bloody hell how do some of you watch so much TV?
I thought I spent a lot of time watching it when I wake during the day when I'm on nights. I'm still working my way through Breaking Bad I'm up to S4E9 I think and that's take me months.
Just bought Breaking Bad on Blu-ray - can't wait!
OP, presume you have seen The Wire, The Sopranos and The Killing; if not you definately should.
Only one mention for Californication? I started watching it again from the start after breaking bad withdrawal. It still manages to be entertaining, clever, scary and moving the second time around. Probably my favourite alongside BB.
Maybe don't watch it with the missus though.......
Bloody hell how do some of you watch so much TV?
No kids, no TV, hence no distractions.
We worked through BB watching 1-2 episodes every night. Still took over a month to watch them all.....
Oldboy, stick with it, Season 1 is a very very slow burner. More of a story set up.
2. is good. 3 is ace. 4. is gobsmackingly good and 5. well, so gutted it ended.
I am lost 🙂
No one mentioned Boss yet?
Boss.
No kids, no TV, hence no distractions.
Still an awful lot of TV to watch especially when you haven't got one. 😕
Hannibal....Hannibal...Hannibal....did I say Hannibal?
The first few episodes are average but the series really comes into it's own about half way through with the last few episodes being utterly brilliant....Mads Mikkleson's Hannibal blows Anthony Hopkins character out of the water! The plot and acting becomes so nuanced and engrossing towards the end which also has some brilliant twists.
Bit old school, and I dunno if it's available on Netflix, but The Lakes (written by Jimmy McGovern and starring John Simm) was the best TV series ever IMHO. Total class.
MAC what is dexter season 8 like? I've watched the others so I will watch it at some point but money is tight and am in two minds whether to buy it or wait for the library to have it in because I've read the reviews and they say its crap.
[gloat] Late comer to the Breaking bad thing, I'm only half way through series 2! [/gloat]
Mikey3, in so many ways i was wishing Dexter 8 to be good, as 7 was pretty poor by anybody's standards. BUtT in reality it was guff. So many holes in the stories and as unrealistic as Dexter ever was it just fell into absolute absurdity.
I loved the books and the early seasons but they definitely lost their way towards the end. Dexter rip!!
Broadchurch if you didnt catch it first time round.
Les Revenants is very good too.
Deadwood.
Ian mcshane as the greatest anti-hero in TV history.
Where are ppl watching true detective, as it's not on sky yet
it's on teh internetz....
im in the same boat as a few others with BB, trying to blitz it in a month. dont think we'll make it tho, just finished episode 10 of series 3, about 7 days left on netflix, so might have to extend it 😀
loving it so far, altho just watched 'the fly' episode which seemed a complete waste of film.....
Those dead eyes! 😯
