Lilmiss82 · 2016-09-28 12:52:03

To give you an insight into the various shows that I'm into, I've watched all of the walking dead, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Orange is the new black, the wire, true detective, stranger things, narcos, making a murderer, the night of and better call Saul...…

This is all I can think of so far but I'm sure there's more. As you can see I'm into a variety of different genres... so what I'm really looking for is a series/boxset that really makes you want to watch the next episode.
Any opinions are welcome!
Thanks a mill

Justified - brilliant show about a US Marshall in Kentucky. Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins are brilliant in the lead roles. It's a bit slow for the first 4 or 5 episodes, but really gets going after that.

I highly recommend Rake, the original Aussie version (?the yanks re-made a dreadful version)

On of the best shows I've ever watched...

The Fall

Arrow

Supergirl

11.22.63 is excellent and its only 8 episodes long

and Homeland is another excellent series.

Some great shows listed OP but the below are must see TV imho.

Banshee
Justified
The Shield
The Sopranos

Dexter and Sons of Anarchy are also worth a look as they start off strong but fizzle out 4 seasons in.

Another show you might like is "Revenge" It ran for 4 seasons. Its starts off very good but the last season does get a bit silly.

Legends is another excellent series.

Have you watched the West Wing.

A few years old but one of the finest TV shows ever IMO and you can pickup full series for €60.

The Shield.. Have watched it a few times now and I still find myself watching several at a time

The Man In The High Castle.. enjoyed the first season (I love that whole history/alternate timeline stuff anyway) and the second season starts shortly

The Last Ship.. more popcorn than the others but a consistently great show IMO

A few older series that are brilliant:

Our Friends in the North
Boys From the Blackstuff
GBH
Jake's Progress
This Life
Clocking Off
Southland

More recent ones include:

Lilyhammer
Happy Valley
Thirteen
Scott & Bailey
Shameless (UK and/or US version)
Top of the Lake

And I highly recommend the various recent high-profile Danish series:

The Killing
The Bridge
Borgen
The Legacy (Arvingerne)

Hope this helps

Battlestar Galactica. The remake from the 2000s. Make sure you start with the TV movie/ pilot before watching season 1.

Glad someone suggested some UK shows. Seems everyone watches American crap these days and doesn't even know about great series like Happy Valley etc.

I'd add

Mad Dogs(Original UK version)
Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes
The Night Manager
Doctor Foster

Off the top of my head.
