    It’s been recommended by manyarmarked for my winter home viewing which starts next month.

    Like many others, I like a full-on binge on a good series. I’ll probably get through seasons 1-4 by Christmas, so will need summat else for January.

    Bloodline was my last binge-series. Anyone else seen that show?

    Two episodes in and it's alright, not hating it, not raving about it. It's clearly working up to a few things so more than happy to stick with it as it's not bad so far. Only two episodes in though, only takes one blinding episode(pun intended) to set the whole show off.

    Game of Thrones is in my opinion the best TV series ever.. I have never watched Peaky Blinders, but believe it is about gangsters which has never been my cup of tea..

    Not a fan of dragons and elves and all that bollocks. Breaking Bad is still my all time favorite. Nowt has come close for me.

    It's good that people have different tastes.
    I've tried Game of Thrones but just can't stand it.
    Watched a few of Longmire & quite enjoy that.

    It is low key about it at least, it's not like traditional fantasy like Tolkien. I think its gritty realism is one reason it's so popular. That and boobs.

    I can't decide between Breaking Bad or Banshee for top dog, could be either. Definitely one of the two though.

    Breaking Bad, Sons Of Anarchy and Californication my top 3.

    I couldn’t order them as all so different.

    Just finished season 3 of Narcos today and that’s a quality show as well.

    I've got nowt against elves in particular it was just an example of the fantasy genre which I don't like. I tend to prefer things which could actually happen rather than a drama made of things which are impossible. Walking dead being the exception but that's become bang average.

    Nothing beats The Sopranos for me. It changed TV. The writing, the acting, the comedy, the drama and the soundtrack showed everyone that TV didn't need to be dogshit. This glut of weighty TV that we're getting now is done to David Chase.
