    The Sopranos
    The Wire
    Mad Men
    Deadwood
    Breaking Bad

    I don't know why but I never include comedies when listing my favourite shows.

    Top 5 comedies would probably be:

    One Foot in the Grave
    Steptoe and Son
    Seinfeld
    Arrested Development
    Only Fools and Horses (first few series)

    I'm going to include only shows that are airing at the moment. Otherwise it is just too hard to narrow it down!

    - Game of Thrones
    - Mad Men
    - Sherlock
    - Penny Dreadful
    - Doctor Who
