Just finished watching The Killing (danish version), and have already watched The Bridge.
I really enjoyed both of them - any suggestions for another series to watch?
I'm re-watching the second series of 24.
dexter,falling skys,fringe,game of thrones,battlestar galactica are just a few.
The Wire and Braquo
Done 8)
Not twilight. What a crock of shite.
The sopranos , fantastic story about friends, family, greed , loss and frustration
I think the best ever series on tv
Sons of anarchy
When is the second season of Game of Thrones out to rent? Really looking forward to this.
6 Feet Under and the Wire stand out for me also Bodies.
Tried BSG and Dexter, not for me.
Misfits. Luther. or oldskool Twin Peaks
If you are liking The Killing and other scandinavian TV check out some of their cinema too. I did a bit of work on Max Manus
some of the same people were involved in Headhunters
The Wire.
Boardwalk Empire.

Breaking Bad is an absolute must
I tried Boardwalk Empire - while it was amazingly shot, only managed a few episodes, but didn't grab me.
Is 6 Feet Under quite old? I can remember watching the first few series of that a good few years back - the early ones were ok, but then it tailed off
thanks folks - lots to look into.
Depends what kind of thing you're after. Breaking Bad is easy to watch. A mate has lent me the whole series of The Wire but I haven't got past the first series...It seems dated to me.
Movie2k has got just about any series you could want.
6FU is 00-05 or so I think. Not everyone's cup of tea.
Wire...dated?
Breaking bad.
On season 5 now and it's brilliant, I follow up each episode with the podcast by bald move - great if your a bit of a film nerd
Breaking Bad. It's better than The Wire imo.
Another vote here for Breaking Bad.
Superb. On series5 at mo.

You're 'aving a giraffe ...
Justified. From Series 1 to series 3. Unmissable.
Californication. Hilarious, well written and downright filthy.
Friday Night Lights
The Wire+1
I gave up on Battlestar Galactica. B.Oring.
Oh, and West Wing . Loved it.
1: Breaking Bad - up until the wheelchair bomb.
2: Game of Thrones - Ya bastad
3: Board Walk Empire - random violence, dont ya know.
4: X Files - shoulder pads
5: Black Adder - cunning plan
edit- to remove spoilers!
Breaking Bad. It's better than The Wire imo.
I love breaking bad, but no way is it better than the Wire IMO.
For me it goes:
The Wire
Sopranos
Game of Thrones/Breaking Bad (can't decide which is best)
Battlestar Galactica
Tried to get into Mad Men and watched a couple of series but I'm just not that grabbed by it. It's beautifully designed and shot etc but I find the plotting/pacing bitty and inconsistent.
I prefer Game of Thrones to The Wire, but the Sopranos still takes it in terms of epicness. Game of Thrones might eventually overtake though.
I second Justified. Redneckalicious; proper dark characters, I love it when the leads are a bit dirty...
I'd recommend 'Homeland' if you can find it.
justified
the shield
wire
oz
west wing
sopranos
BSG
deadwood
another danish series...The Kingdom by lars von trier (not the gash stephen king remake)
sons of anarchy
firefly, serenity
carnivale
Spiral is a good French crime series and I don't think anyone has mentioned The great Romanzo Criminale. Braquo was great too as others have said.
I've just watched Prisoners of War, the Israeli series on which Homeland was based. It was brilliant. You can get it on LoveFilm.
MUCH better than Homeland IMO. More realistic, better acted, lot less Flag Wavy. A bit too realistic at times with the torture stuff. Although a couple of plot twists were ruined by having seen Homeland.
Spooks, also The Sopranos and Deadwood.
Download "Rubicon", from US cable network AMC. Nice bit of Yank drama.
I like Wallander too - prefer the original ones to the UK remake.
Anybody mentioned Wallander yet - the original Swedish one, not the British one.
From about 2005/6?
Fantastic series 🙂
1: Breaking Bad - up until the wheelchair bomb.
Dude! Should have put up a Spoiler alert
Deadwood is another great suggestion, but be warned that due to the usual habit of commissioning Networks cancelling shows, there's no satisfying resolution to story arcs at the end of season 3. Great acting, but dialogue not for the sensitive ear.
I enjoyed 'Rome',but they only made two seasons.
+1s for Friday Night Lights (it isn't about american football), Rubicon and West Wing.
+1 for Breaking Bad, role on 2013 fair WW, and Homeland, not long for Series 2...+C4 have actually secured it just days after the US release bless em.
Underbelly Series 1-5 is worth a look, Australian, but don't let that hold you back.
Life - A lesser known gem that again got canned after 2 seasons...even with its zen.
Person of Interest? It's not up there with the big hitters, christ its on C5, but gets better through the season.
+1 for the shield, it was awesome. And really enjoyed the new show Luck on Sky but apparently they aren't making a new series 🙁
Game of Thrones
Breaking Bad
Awake - with Hello to Jason Isaacs
BSG
True Blood for sh**s and giggles
Dexter
About to kick of with Underbelly too
Breaking bad is probably the best I've seen so far. I've watched a couple of episodes of the sopranos and loved it, so thats next on my list. Also really like Supernatural. On season 3 of that and it's good.
+1 for supernatural - mindless enough with rock anthems guns and swords
enjoyed 'Rome',but they only made two seasons.
and S2 wasn't up to much S1 was brilliant though
never saw all of it but what i did see looked good - Pillars of the Earth
also, for something completely different, Mongrels Series 1 (check youtube for clips, especially Middle Class is Magical
Firefly
Bit of an obscure one, City of Men, if anyone saw the film City of God, it is a mini series taking each of the characters in turn and giving you more of their back story.
If you liked The Wire, then look out for The Corner, which was an earlier series by same writers based in same place and many of the same characters.
+ 1 for Braquo (best thing on TV this year)
Managed to get hold of all three series of Tour of Duty as well if anyone remembers that (gave me a lifelong love of Paint it Black by Rolling Stones).
If you like military drama, then Band of Brothers/ The Pacific and Generation Kill.
I loved Braquo, watched an early episode from part way through while channel hopping after another programme ended and was hooked. Very gritty.
Person of Interest? It's not up there with the big hitters, christ its on C5, but gets better through the season
Saw the trailers and thought it looked interesting, really enjoying it so far. The first thing I thought of was Trapwire, the panopticon surveillance system that is being talked about; http://www.privacysos.org/node/785
Can't believe that Strike Back hasn't been mentioned yet. 3rd series has just started on Sky.
Alcatraz was good but they cancelled it.
American Horror Story was brilliant and season 2 to start soon.
A Gifted man is good too.
Or there's the classics
A-team
Knight Rider
Dukes of Hazzard
Baywatch
Fawlty Towers
Thunder in Paradise.
No has mentioned Damages, so I will.
Damages.
Dexter is my fave of the moment - loving it! First 3 series on Netflix.
Will move onto Breaking Bad when I've finished.
From next Monday (the 25th), More4 will repeat season one of Homeland. Highly recommended.
Spiral is a good one, Homeland was top tv, some really good acting, did any one see Night Shift---icelandic series set in a 24hr shell garage-- very funny
logical - MemberThunder in Paradise.
Wasn't that Knightboat- the Crime Solving Boat?
I am going to start off going old school
Due South
Northern Exposure
Slightly more up to date
West wing
Sopranos
Life
weeds
Didn't like the wire or breaking bad or homeland, all trying too hard to be something special and just didn't grip me.
And how about for a bit of more light hearted entertainment
Psych
Town called Eureka
Monk
watching fringe at the moment its not bad basically an heir to the xfiles
Killing III. starts in a few weeks on BBC4

Nice heads up re homeland. I'll be on that this time as I missed it first time round!
From next Monday (the 25th), More4 will repeat season one of Homeland. Highly recommended.
Oops.......typo error...I'll try again
From TUESDAY (the 25th), More4 will repeat season one of Homeland. Highly recommended.
Homeland,
Game of Thrones,
Generation Kill
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Strike back! Currently on series 3 but if you have sky it's worth catching up on series 1 and 2 first (by download).
The Wire without a doubt. Can't believe I haven't watched it sooner. I have just finished season 3.
Make sure you start from season 1, well worth it.
Controversial one, Lost. I actually really enjoyed the last 3 series.
