Currently watching series 4 of Spiral - it's very good, as is Borgen if you enjoyed The Killing.

I also enjoyed Justified and Banshee is excellent.

My favourites were 24 and Prison Break. I can't seem to get into any these days.

I don't watch a lot of American TV series, but 'DAMAGES' was first-class. Glenn Close led a very good cast, with excellent plot lines and characters. The fundamentals of drama. There were 5 series in all, which can be bought on DVD or elsewhere.

I don't know anyone else that's seen Gomorrah and it's right up there with the best boxsets of all time
Report Kit-Kat-Dan September 1, 2015 6:47 PM BST
I've seen Gomorrah and agree - it's superb. Genny Savastano is one of my favourite (flawed) characters.

Gomorrah was terrific , but only 1 series so far , not exactly a box set .
Report maleuk01. September 1, 2015 9:00 PM BST
Gomorrah was amazing, anyone not seen should def have it top of the list of things to watch.

series 2 should be finished filming next month, and aired early next year on Sky Atlantic at the same time as sky Italia and other sky platforms.

A 3rd series is also planned.

Dexter excellent, especially first 2-3 series which were incredibly good.

Friday Night Lights my other choice - set against the backdrop of college American Football, maintained quality throughout 5 series.

PUBLIC EYE starring Alfred Burke...I'd put this up there with The Sopranos, Mad Men, The Wire...as an examination of human nature and corruption...6 gns. a day plus expenses...better than Beckett IMO...

Recently watched Sons of Anarchy, Justified all the way through and am now on Series 2 of West Wing. Though the first two arent great, they did just enough to keep me interested

Band of brothers is the best TV series ever made in my opinion.

True perfection from start to finish.

Surprised no mention for Game of Thrones? , thought i'd hate it but after a reluctant start grew to love it.

Also Better Call Saul , far superior to Breaking Bad

1st Series of Gotham was good fun too
Report alun2005 September 3, 2015 10:50 AM BST
I quite liked Series 1 of 'Braquo' but Series 2 reached a level of silliness that finally made me say 'au revoir' to it.

Funnily enough, the actor who plays roughy-toughy Eddy was one of the passengers on the train in Paris recently targeted by that gunman who supposedly found his bag of guns in a Brussels park.  You would have thought that Eddy would have taken out the gunman single-handed. He did however reportedly "injure his hand" trying to activate the train's alarm system. To date I am not aware that Eddy has been given the Legion d'Honneur for such heroism, but fingers crossed it is in la poste so to speak.

Spartacus is prob the best boxset you can watch.

I have been working my way through "Oz" - made by HBO in the late 90's:

Would recommend it. It has loads of (then unknown) American actors in it.

Little aside: I was looking to buy a specific old CD the other day and noticed that there was a box set of a number of that bands early stuff for not much more, a real bargain. I had a look and that suddenly seems common for many older bands, it's pretty much a normal CD size but with 5 CDs jammed inside it. 

If you are looking at some bands earlier stuff, keep an eye out for them.
Report Gin October 12, 2015 3:44 PM BST
Just a quick heads-up - the series "Oz" that I mention above is being re-run again on CBS Action.

It starts next Tuesday (20th) at 1.55am - clearly this info is no good unless you have a Tivo/Sky+ (or you are an insomniac).

I would definitely recommend it.
Report DStyle October 12, 2015 4:35 PM BST
Games of Thrones isn't very good.

If you got rid of the good comedic writing and took the production budget and quality of actors down a peg or two, it would be glaringly sh1t and achingly protracted.

And as a general point, if one of your defining and novel features is that you're prepared to kill off major characters, it's probably best not to cast Sean Bean, the walking spoiler, as one of the central characters in Series 1.

Fargo's worth a watch.

The second series of Fargo starts next Monday - I think its on C4 or one of their other channels.
