Recommend me a US TV series to watch
Can anyone recommend me a few tv shows from the US to start watching?
I have a bit of time and am looking at the Sopranos but then again there’s The Wire, Game of Thrones, Dexter, Deadwood & Homeland etc. I am into the gangster type of shows and have caught up with Boardwalk Empire but am open minded. |

Sons of Anarchy Sopranos The Glades is fun and light hearted Burn Notice, again fun and light hearted The Shield |

Breaking Bad is a absolute must watch imo
Fairly easy to follow, very, very few filler episodes where nothing actually happens. Superb acting, some great characters and something totally new away from the normal cops or gangster programs that keep getting churned out |

The West Wing is the best TV programme I've seen. Friday Night Lights is very good. Chuck in "Frasier" as comfortably the best US sitcom and you won't go far wrong. |

I would agree about West Wing being one of the best shows ever but will hoy the caveat in that you need to be in to politics and have a understanding of the way things work to really enjoy it imo

If you like Law stuff then Suits isn't too bad.
Not a patch on Boston Legal though if you want to go a few years back. And then there's The Practice which was it's predecessor. Not a full series but a mini series drama - Murder One. Going a long way back but it is very good. |

Dexter and Homeland are brilliant, from what I've seen Breaking Bad is good but not as addictive as everyone says...

If you've never watched The Sopranos then that should definitely be top of your list.
Then The Wire. Also: Mad Men Deadwood Breaking Bad Boardwalk Empire |

I am thoroughly enjoying / anticipating :
Dexter Walking Dead Good Wife Scandal Person of Interest and wondering whether Parenthood will ever return to UK. I have to admit I dont like watching tele on the computer so tend to wait till things come on virgin media. I did watch Dexter on netflix, tho, with a (long) cable connecting my ipad to the tele! LOL |
