You're probably not going to like it if you don't like it by that point, I thought the series got better and their situation got more harrowing as it went along.

I don't hate it or anything. Watched 2 series after all. Just haven't gotten the hype so far. Like some things about it. Just a bit cartoonish for my tastes I think, and there's some plot silliness involved I'm kinda hoping they resolve as I progresses but fearful they won't. Only thirteen variants? Well that was really really retarded of them... Ah I'll give it a few episodes of 3 to see if it can win me over.

Can't understand how nobody said the 1st season of Big Brother.

Nothing had ever come close to that on TV before, everyone in the UK and Ireland were glued to the TV that summer

I'd say it would be some sh*t if I watched it now though.

Sopranos. Had enough depth that each episode felt like a mini movie in itself. Tremendous acting, great soundtracks, great plotlines. Rewatches brilliantly too, i've loved Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad but this is one thing it really edges them on.

**** it, im gonna stick an episode on now actually.

Couldn't get into oz. Watched the first two or so series. The wheelchair guys stuff annoyed me no end and it was just generally uncomfortable to watch. Maybe that's how it was supposed to be but I just didn't like it.

For sure, it's disturbing stuff, compulsory viewing for those contemplating a life of crime

A show I really love is 'Portlandia', like, I really fecking love it.

As said, The Simpsons' golden years are unsurpassed as comedy genius.

Anything Chris Morris took a hand to, 'Brass Eye', 'The Day Today', 'Jam' not so much, 'Nathan Barley' decent.

'I'm Alan Partridge', the episode 'Watership Alan' is probably my favourite t.v. show ever!

+1 Comedy Gold, I was surprised it took till post 112 before it got a mention.

Only Fools and Horses is the one show I can continually watch and still find it just as funny.

The Sopranos was also excellent. Of more recent television, I found 'The Detectorists' on BBC4 to be absolutely wonderful viewing.

My favourite is battlestar galactica followed by the west wing and breaking bad, the wire, the Simpsons, TNG, deep space nine and voyager, South Park, peep show, family guy, prison break, game of thrones, the walking dead, watched the first episode of sons of anarchy, It didn't hook me, so a month or so down the line will give the second episode a shot.

The West Wing. Aaron Sorkin's a (very opinionated, I'll grant you) genius.

Yes, was always a toss-up between TWW and Sopranos

Breaking Bad

It looked good, but I never really got it. I hung in there for 2 seasons but it just seemed like Batman and Robin do Crystal - meh

Yes for its day it was great - who wasn't in love with Joyce Davenport.
