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?

[Fulham_Adam]

Dexter
Chuck

My two favourite shows that are still running.

[Tom]

Amazing Race

[AlFayedsChequebook]

The Wire. Simply the best TV program ever. Bar none. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an uneducated fool.

[Lighthouse]

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.

[Jimbobob]

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......

It is about a US Marshall in Harlan County Ky USA: :54: :54: :54: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlan_County,_Kentucky

They drink Bourbon and Apple Pie Moonshine.... :beer: :beer: :beer:
It is a great show but I don't know if you would get it or appreciate it.
It is very Kentucky which is a long way from SW6... if you know what I mean!!!

I think there has been some really good drama's on just recently
Martina Cole's The Runaway
Marchlands
Mad Dogs
The Reckoning
Silk (ok)
The Exile and Vera I haven't watched yet, like to watch them when the series has finished.

[muiscatron]

Breaking Bad - series 1-3

The Wire. Simply the best TV program ever. Bar none. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an uneducated fool.

Cannot argue with that point at all - 5 series of absolute sheer brilliance.

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.
