Just finished season one of The Blacklist. Drags abit to start & after the first 8 episodes or so, it gets abit samey but stick with it.
I enjoyed it.
For something more grittier, try True Detective. Awesome show.

Band of Brothers is awesome.
I've got sky box sets so loads on there.
Recently caught up with Scandal which I got into.
Hannibal was awesome- but new series hasn't started yet..
Anyone watch Bates Motel? That was good but don't know if they are doing another series?  |

"Breaking Bad
24
Breaking Bad is brilliant.
Just bought SOA but not started it yet.
What's breaking bad about? "
It's kind of hard to say it without blowing the plot.
The storyline sounds a bit dodgy. .but once you watch it, it's really good.
It's about a A Chemistry Teacher who basically is diagnosed with Terminal cancer and turns to crime to provide for his family after his death.
It's good. Try it out. |

"I got halfway through episode one of breaking bad,decided I really didn't like the main character and turned it off "
But thats why you should watch it, the main character changes so much throughout the series |

Also there's a really good mini series (6 episodes over 3 parts) just showing on Sky 1 called "Ascension"
Couldn't wait for the last part so I downloaded it instead.
The basic premise as taken from Wiki is:
"Ascension is inspired by the real-life Project Orion that existed under the administration of President John F. Kennedy.[3] The show sets up an alternate version of reality beginning in 1963, when President Kennedy and the U.S. government, fearing the Cold War will become hot and lead to the destruction of Earth, decide to launch a covert space mission. They send 350 volunteers, including men, women and children, into space on a century-long voyage aboard the USS Ascension, a massive, self-sustaining generation ship. Their mission is to colonize a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri,[4] assuring the survival of the human race. At 51 years into their 100 year journey (i.e. in the present) and as they approach the point of no return, the mysterious murder of a young woman – the first homicide since their departure[5] – causes the ship's crew to question the true nature of their mission"
What I love is the way that they have kept the feel of the 60's onboard the USS Ascension whilst outside, well that would be telling  |

"have you watched Elementary yet ?

Nope. I've only recently discovered Sherlock... Always hated it before the new ones. I've had my eye on it though.. Any good? |

Very good but then it does have Lucy Liu as Doctor Watson and Natalie Dormer.
Sean Pertwee puts in an appearance or two as does Rhys Ifans
Hmmm, Cowbridge, haven't been there in many a year
(Cardiff boy originally and was also stationed at St Athan) |

Breaking Bad - got to series 4, couldn't take any more. Thought it was crap.
Sons of Anarchy - half way through series 2 and love it. Can't believe it's taken me this long.
American Horror Story - Fantastic series. Currently waiting for series 4 to be available.
Orange is the New Black - really enjoyed it. Is series 3 out yet?
Have Game of Thrones waiting for when SoA is finished. |

Elementary is awesome - the guy playing Sherlock in that is spectacular and gets the edginess of a former addict just right.
Breaking Bad is a slow burner but worth it. Does get dark in places.
Otherwise Penny Dreadful is amazing (especially if you love Eva Green and victorian drama).
Just finished The Knick as well - it's like ER set in victorian times and the medical aspect is quite fascinating (although don't watch if you are squeamish!)
The latter are both 10 episodes which is a good weekends viewing as well |

Good amount of episodes per series is essential! |

"What's suits about? "
US legal drama - but has a good balance of legal cases, alongside the private lives and friendships between the characters. It's worth watching purely for Harvey Specter |

Can I recommend an absolutely brilliant Irish series(possibly the only good one!).
It's called Love Hate. Well worth a watch. |

Brilliant series!!!! Can't wait for the next season. The second season is a little far fetched in areas, but stick with it xx |
