Watch Sopranos first then Breaking Bad. Both will take over your life completely.

Yes, BB was even more brilliant than Sopranos.

Sopranos and Breaking Bad are great - if you can handle subtitles the original Danish version of the Killing is very good
Report Ibrahima Sonko July 15, 2018 7:48 PM BST
The Wire, Breaking Bad and im with FatherM The Killing (1-2-3) are very good.
Report Kit-Kat-Dan July 15, 2018 8:06 PM BST
Both The Bridge (Danish/Swedish) and The Tunnel (English/French) are worth a watch. As are most Scandi TV dramas tbh.

Thanks for all the replies. Think i'm going to start the sopranos tonight and see how i get on with it

The soundtrack to the Sopranos is great.

I bought them all and binge watched them over about 6 months.

Yes, Prepared, it is. I was hooked from the first episode. I was almost glad when it was finished so I could get my life back!

Then I started Breaking Bad and my life was on hold again Crazy

Lost is a good show personally, it seems to be a marmite type show though, you'll either binge watch or find it to slow paced (my brother said he couldn't stick with it because it was to slow going), it does take a while to get going in regards to the deserted island they are on

Cheers diva, will report back once i've started watching. All other suggestions welcome for the future as well. Thanks

When it comes to cop shows I'd prefer Cracker (robbie coltrane) rather than the American cop shows

Prime Suspect would have been great if they could have produced more of the Marlow episodes

And aye the end was pretty lame after all those years tbh, I understand the theory behind it, letting go was the theme of the show and they couldn't do it, but it was a bit of a cop out ending, starts of waking up, ends with going to sleep is a cheesey.

I enjoyed a one season wonder called Rubicon but you'll have real trouble finding it anywhere. I want to buy the dvd but they won't release it, they seem to want it to remain buried.

Rich Man Poor Man is still one of the best drama series made.
Our Friends in the North is one of the best British made series

Breaking Bad is outstanding. And each episode and each series ,just kept getting better and better. You'd watch one episode finish and find your mouth wide open saying WTF  !!! And you'd say to yourself, where do they go from here ? They won't be able to ' top ' that. But they do, again and again !!!

sopranos, fargo breaking bad all brilliant.  Start with sopranos though, best tb series ever
made. Nothing comes close.

The Five, written by Harlan Coben is beautifully atmospheric, stunningly filmed and outrageously gripping. It's a mini-series of 10 and one of the finest things I've ever had the pleasure to watch.
Report morpteh mackem July 18, 2018 8:53 AM BST
just thought of of a couple- very similar tbh - gomorrah( neapolitan crime )  and fugitives ( chilean crime ) . seen all of the former, brilliant, fugitives have seen 1st series but not 2nd. both subtitles, both enthralling. great tv.

anyone watched ozark ? heard its good, might be on me list after got.

Thanks for the heads up about The Five, Johnny Mustang.

I have not heard about it at all, but the early Harlen Coben books are among my favorites.
Report Johnny_Mustang July 19, 2018 7:34 AM BST
My pleasure. I'm not sure The Five was in fact ever published as a book, moreover it is a screenplay written by Coben exclusively for TV which is unusual in itself. No matter, it is brilliant.
