Spiral (BBC4) is also good. Gritty as merde French crime drama.

Yeah if you missed Sparticus blood and sand the first time round, mke sure you watch it this time. Violence sex and good story line too boot, though to be honest i lmost gave up after the first 20 minutes the first episode. The first one was on last night i think, might be on Sky Anytime, but go out of your way to watch the rest of it.
- Game of Thrones. Simply brilliant by HBO.
- Spartacus: Blood and Sand
- Justified

What's Justified when it's at home? Never heard of it. What's it about? can you show us a trailer please?
Dexter
Chuck
My two favourite shows that are still running.
Amazing Race
The Wire. Simply the best TV program ever. Bar none. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an uneducated fool.
Awful tosh on the TV lately. The Crimson Petal and the White was good BBC costume drama. But struggling to remember anything new worth watching other than that.
American drama still better than anything we have at the moment.
MadMen: AMC
Sons Of Anarchy: FX
Justified: FX
Breaking Bad: AMC
These are all awesome shows. I am not sure if you get them where you are - if in USA all on on here on a semi regular basis and you can watch on DVD or Hulu or other sites etc.....
Justified season finale one Wednesday. Breaking Bad starts back up in July......

Marchlands
Mad Dogs
The Reckoning
Silk (ok)

Vera was pretty lame in the end - started okay but ended up being basic ITV crap, which had it had a bit more spent on it could have been really good.
Case Sensitive was good though, albeit hard to take the guy who played Waterhouse seriously.
Exile I am hoping to watch tonight, now I've got all three recorded; always find these things are better watched as a film rather than in bursts every evening for three nights.
The Runaway has been quite good, waiting for the sixth (tomorrow I think) then will watch the fifth and sixth the same evening.
Mad Dogs was good too.

Agreed. Series 3 of Spiral comes to an end on BBC 4 this weekend. I have just bought series 1 and 2 on DVD from Amazon at a bargain £15.99.

Yes I'm the same I started watching "The Event" last year which I was really enjoying, then after 10 Episodes they go and have a few months break before starting the last 12 Episodes. So I'm keeping them all until it's finished at the end of May (3 Episodes to go) then watch them.

Marchlands and The Reckoning were fine as was Silk and The Exile. Not great but you are right they were ok. I just wouldn't suggest people go out and buy the DVD of them. Worth renting though. Vera I just thought was awful, So do it by numbers drama. But it may grab you more than me. I didn't see Mad Dogs. IS it on SKY and if so is it worth renting on DVD? I know it is an opinion thing but all those were ok. Just not SPOOKS good.
'IS it on SKY and if so is it worth renting on DVD? I know it is an opinion thing but all those were ok. Just not SPOOKS good.'
Mad Dogs is available on DVD yes, here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mad-Dogs-DVD-Max-Beesley/dp/B004E0ZT3U/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1304502364&sr=1-1.

I really enjoyed it, but then again I think Spooks is a steaming great pile of horse manure only slightly less annoying than a Halifax advert.

House is brilliant, agree on that. Try
The Wire again though is my advice, also
Deadwood.
I thought Boardwalk Empire was superb.
Deadwood is still the benchmark for me. The sort of series Shakespeare would be writing if he were alive today.

It must be because you have not been 'fully informed' :015:
Seriously though, simply an amazing program that deals with pretty much every moral quandry in the book. As is oft quoted, it is the televisual equivalent of a Dickensian novel. If you persevere then you will not be disappointed.
I'm currently watching:
Dexter Season 4
Deadwood Season 3
The Wire Season 2
All of them absolutely superb and completely addictive.
If you prefer a little sci-fi action then Battlestar Galactica is the best sci-fi show I've ever seen.
I also like watching Curb Your Enthusiasm because Larry David is a complete genius.
The Shield I loved and bought all the series. The Wire I didn't love and found it had said all it was going to say by the third series,just with different locations.
House, Dexter, Battlestar Galactica, Deadwood, Carnivale, Dead like me, Firefly, Nurse Jackie, Cadfael, Poirot, Miss Marple (Joan Hickson) Buffy, Veronia Mars are all the older DVDs I have playing when there is nothing on TV worth watching. I rent all the films I watch and a lot of Series. Don't have SKY or Digital or Channel 5.
Not enough on TV to make me want SKY or Digital. Cheaper to rent and buy and read what people like and then rent it. :011:

Well, if a series doesn't convince me in the first episode it won't in the second either. If the click isn't there, it'll never come! That said however: it is not because I don't like the series that you shouldn't watch it. I have spoken to a lot of people who were ecstatic about The Wire and I am happy for them!
The Killing - a Danish crime series I think, is worth a watch, I guessed the killer in the second episode but the atmosphere was really well done. Unlike Vera where there wasn't any atmosphere.
'Well, if a series doesn't convince me in the first episode it won't in the second either.'
I always thought that too but lost count of the amount of times I tried, and gave up on, Deadwood. Can't even remember why I gave up on it now but mighty glad I persevered.
You might find The Wire different.
In principle I agree that you need to be won over early but The Wire really does take time to work its magic. The first episode has literally dozens of characters speaking a very strange dialect and its impossible to know what's happening but the fog lifts by about the 4th episode. I think it's worth investing the time.

Nailed it. The Wire is a slow burner and a half. But unlike other dramas, it's not trying to squeeze an entire story into an hour. It's trying to squeeze a very small part of a very large story into an hour, and it just happens that the bit you're watching might not be the most interesting bit.
I was a real sceptic over The Wire myself, but that stems from my dislike of cop shows in general. This one is full of incredibly deep characters, and it takes time to develop them and the story to the level of intrigue whereby you are suddenly totally addicted.
Belgian - stick with it mate! It's worth it!

Apples and oranges my friend, apples and oranges.
But it isn't short sighted. I won't argue with the fact that a series can grow on you. I disliked however too many things in The Wire from the start. I might give it a second chance though (giving in to peer pressure). Happy now? :)

I have always enjoyed Boston Legal. I am not really a "lawyer's series" fan but this one has so much machismo and so much humour it stuck :)
It's not an HBO or a cable channel series, so there are certain limitations in place in terms of language usage and how intense the violence etc can be, but if you like The Shield, then there is a new series that I am currently addicted to called The Chicago Code.
Backdrop is a the city of Chicago, that I love, and it's history of corrupt officials and an the underworld. It has lots of regular characters but the main character is a crusading, gritty, flawed, in your face, tough guy detective who with is rookie college educated want-to-be FBI partner get free rein to work on the cases they want in the micro, while in the macro they are trying to catch corrupt officials, one in particular.
Show does a good job of getting you to really not like the bad guy and the corrupt officials while in a way showing some of the good side to them and how they may have become corrupted.
Because it is on Fox it can't quite go as far as say Fx or AMC or HBO but its about as gritty as you can get for Fox.
Highly recommended.

I was the same regarding BlueBloods, thought it was good and would only get better, but cack describes it perfectly. Sipwell, The Wire is superb, and i almost gve up on it myself because i couldn't understand the black talk, but glad i stuck with it, or i would have missed one of the best programs ever made.

Pleased to see Lighthouse flagged up "Firefly", for anyone who has missed this, an excellent sci-fi series.
It only ran for half of the intended first series, well done to Fox for yet another inspired marketing decision to cancel a cult show with enormous potential, but such was the support of the fans that the writer then made the film "Serenity" to complete the story. Both series and film are several years old, now, so should be available quite cheaply.
What's the name of that American series about Irish American brothers set in Boston (i'm only guessing) one is a gang boss, the other a corrupt city official. Very good. Also there was a series called line Line of Fire (i think) over here, might have a differant name in the States, also American Irish older gang boss, but suddenly just stopped over here, it was quality, but never got advertised, i only found it by chance. Any of you Yanks shine any light on what happened to it. And i'll look out for Justified "squeal like a pig".

Wallander (the proper Swedish one), from the late 90's/00's: NYPD Blue, and the Wire is very decent as it mixes all the 'street' stuff with local politics, etc. The Aussie series Underbelly is very watchable also and a tad more relevant as it was based on a real life Melbourne gang/drugs war.

Watched all 3 episodes of Exile last night, seriously good stuff. John Simm and Jim Broadbent, I mean how much more do you need to say? Both were superb, as ever, as was Olivia Colman (nice, though a bit odd, to see her doing straight stuff), oh and Claire Goose is looking a lot better these days.

Pleased to see Lighthouse flagged up "Firefly", for anyone who has missed this, an excellent sci-fi series.
It only ran for half of the intended first series, well done to Fox for yet another inspired marketing decision to cancel a cult show with enormous potential, but such was the support of the fans that the writer then made the film "Serenity" to complete the story. Both series and film are several years old, now, so should be available quite cheaply.
Fox aired the show after midnight and played it out of sequence, so nobody had a clue what the fugg was going on and they ended up cancelling it. Biggest load of crap management I've ever seen as the show is simply brilliant.
Some of the best characters I've seen in a TV show, and I've got a real thing for Jewel Staite... phwoaarrr!

Captain Sig on the Northwestern is definately the Man Utd of the Crab catchers, everyone is catching two three crabs a pot if they're lucky, his pots are heaving as usual. The poor fella who took over from Captian Phil after he died is having a mare, the tension on that boat is unbelieveable.
