Surely everyone has been in the same boat for a while now struggling to find series/films to watch.
Sopranos I’ve recently started. After years of being told to watch it. Great watch! |

I keep banging on about this, but find the series box sets of Nurse Jackie
It's about a New York A&E nurse who is also addicted to prescription drugs and chronicles her struggles
Loads of dramatic shifts and turns in it, but it is also really funny at times
You find yourself in a love / hate relationship with her
The lead role is played by Edie Falco who, if you have been watching The Sopranos, you will recognise as Carmela  |

I'm always late to the party and usually watch things in my own time. My latest (!) was Breaking Bad. That's probably best tv show I watched in months. Even though I'm years late |

Never heard of that before, I will have a look for it.
I find some hospital based programs to be all quite similar sometimes!

Can’t disagree.
Great series, I sometimes wish I could go get what happened so I can re watch  |

"My favourite ever:

It's unbelievable Jeff "
Oh yes I agree. I was so sad when I finished that!
Just finished the handmaid’s tale. Was a bit weird but addictive. |

Supernatural. Seasons 1-5 are some of the best TV I've seen and even after has some good good moments.
The issue I face with best ever series is that a lot of them jump the shark and perhaps don't end at the right time. |

The weird ones are usually the best. Then you feel weird for watching so many! |

I’ve watched a few and never really got into it. A while ago now though "
Series one is a bit slow.
But after that it's epic.
Some of the stories and missions are brilliant.
You get a real insight into how the President works in times of crisis, nuclear bombs, non stop action.
It's worth watching |

The first couple of series were on BBC2 about 7/8 years back
It's based in a hospital and whilst they need to include some patients for context, this isn't ER or Casualty
It's more about the descent of an addict, the stunts she plays to get what she wants, the people around her and how she touches them
There is a lot of comedy in it despite the somewhat tough theme |

The US Office is my happy place. 30 Rock, as well. Just so many great jokes in every tight little script.
I have a terrible habit of falling in love with shows cancelled before their time - Carnivale, Pulling and now Lodge 49. Why do I do it to myself? |

If you're looking for another show like that, Timeless was cancelled after 2 seasons and is on Netflix. I really liked it |

"Game of thrones
Suits
Peaky blinders
Sherlock Holmes
Grey's anatomy
Power
Currently on season 4 of breaking bad and I'm definitely impressed so far "
If you liked Suits, you should give White Collar a go. Really good show with good banter between the main characters |

"No love for The Wire ?
Greatest ever Tv show ? True that."
I couldn't get into it at all
It just didn't bite me
I tried about 4 episodes
It just seemed slow |

A shame. Perhaps because it has so many characters and storylines it takes more time than others, but it’s a classic show. |

I am a bit disappointed really with what's available in English.
I have been slowly working my way through Endeavor and old Poirot episodes which are quite entertaining ..
Also Loved
Sons of Anarchy
Breaking Bad
GOT
Vikings
Spartacus
Between lockdown was
The Deuce and Vinyl ( loved both of them )
This lockdown its been mainly foreign stuff
The Bridge
Swingers
The Killing
and then in the free time I have left dipping in and out of the amazing amount of continental drama on All4 .. some amazingly good box sets on there that I enjoy .
Oh and for balance from all the SDRNR I have been watching the Blue planet .. super relaxing

I loved Breaking Bad and have rewatched it so many times . The Sopranos too.
Those two shows, there was never really anything like them before they came along. |

Game of Thrones especially the first few seasons for fantasy. I've recently really enjoyed The Mandalorian too. Lost was really enjoyable too and will always have a special place in my heart.
Parks and Rec or The Office for comedy!!

So, in terms of Solid and consistent the whole way through, for MY money you won't beat Sons of Anarchy.
There is a myriad of special mentions;
Spartacus, The Last Kingdom, Carnival Row and many more I'm sure I'm overlooking! but yeah, for consistent solid episodes throughout.. SoA takes it. |

The Shield - one of the great US cop shows. Inspired by the Rampart scandal, in which a tight strike team of police were successful in halving the drug trade in their LA area until someone realised the cops had just taken it over. If you like The Sopranos you'll like The Shield. |
