Would highly recommend The Wire and The Shield.

Sons of Anarchy was good - dipped a bit in season 3/4 but overall was extremely good.

We have just finished watching the first season of Homeland which also was good - halfway through the second season at the moment.

House of cards was also a good watch for the first couple of seasons.

If your after black comedy I'd go for Lilyhammer if you have Netflix - seems to have gone under the radar a bit and by far one of the best things on there

Totally agree. All the Sky hype couldn't mask the fact that it was just a bit boring.

Just started True Detectives.

Utopia was great.

The Returned was a good series on channel 4. French with subtitles but scared the shit out of me with sinister soundtrack by Mogwai.

Thought Wayward Pines was gash, got cancelled too so there must of been a few that agreed with me.

Orange is the new black is not bad for a chick series.

Argo was suprisingly very good.

Under The Dome is ok.

In a totally different direction, Parks and Recreation, I thought, was fantastic. Short, 20 mins episodes, made me laugh (and i'm a miserable sod). Only downside is that you've got to get through the first season which was quite poor. Totally different series from then on in though.

The returned has an English language version on Netflix. I tried watching the french one, but couldn't deal with the subtitles. Really enjoy the American version though. Only about ten episodes in it so easily bingeable in a weekend.

I must be the only person who doesn't get the Breaking Bad hype. Mid way through the second series and watch it when nothing else is on, just find it far too slow paced.
Not much on at the moment like, Banshee is pretty decent, Blacklist and The Following have just finished recently which were good although possibly gone on too long now.
The Tunnel was a decent one off series few years back based on The Bridge a Swedish/Norweigen programme which is meant to be better version if you can be bothered with the subtitles.

Just meant it's not like some programmes where you could skip a couple of episodes and pick up the story.
I would of give up in first series and people said keep going so I did, now midway through second series and people still saying the same.

Love Hate was on RTE and most shown only in Ireland I think possibly 1st series made it over here which is how I seen it in first place but then had to get the rest on dvd.
