    I finished catching up with Breaking Bad over the weekend, and am now watching the reruns of season 1 of Homeland on Channel 4. What series should I try next? Below is a list of things I've already finished or given up on:

    The Wire - Good but overrated
    The Shield - Excellent
    Prison Break - Started off OK but got a bit silly towards the end
    West Wing - Gave up on it after the first season. Too American for my taste
    Sons of Anarchy - Tried the first couple of episodes but didn't like it
    Game of Thrones - OK
    Boardwalk Empire - Good

    Stuff I forgot about:

    The Killing - Good
    The Bridge - Good
    The Sopranos - Very Good
    Spartacus - Tits
    Mad Men - too slow

    The Wire is excellent <grr>
    The Shield - never seen it
    Prison Break - never seen it, heard it was utter ****e
    West Wing - never seen it
    Sons of Anarchy - I was the same with the first episodes of Season 1, but decided to give it another chance, and it gets very good indeed.
    Game of Thrones - Great
    Boardwalk Empire - thought it was great but still have the seconf half of season 2 to catch up on

    Dexter - only ever seen one full season and it was pretty good

    BBC4's series on the art of the Roman Empire was good if you missed it :bandit:

    American drama, without exception, can bite my banger.

    I watched The Killing with Dutch subtitles when I was living in the Netherlands. That was a headfuck. :emoticon-0107-sweat

    OP updated.

    Give Sons of Anarchy another go - takes a few episodes to get into it.

    Get Mad Men watched! <ok>

    I saw The Bridge. The best bits were when the female cop with Aspeger's (or whatever she had) made outrageously inappropriate comments.

    I gave up on Mad Men too. 3 episodes in and no sign of a plot appearing.

    Aye, she was a brilliant character, and more shaggable than her from "The Killing" <ok>
