I'll tell you one euro-cop drama that hasn't been mentioned is Salamander

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamander_(TV_ser...

We loved it and are still waiting for the next series, basic premise is....

Bank robbed but only certain safety deposit boxes are stolen
Bank doesn't want to let the police or public know
Gritty hard drinking Belgian cop hears about it and goes looking
st hits the fan.

The series flits between wartime Belgium and present day establishing a link between the old 2nd world war elite and some serious corruption today.

Utterly superb in our opinion, and has the bonus of case being solved at the end of the series albeit with a hint of what the next season will be about.

I enjoyed this ..

Mrs 2.5pi however deemed it slow and unwatchable ...but she has watched Made in Chelsea a lot..

Another vote for Salamander. I watched it when it was on BBC 4

[CoolHands]

old, but you can buy Columbo full set. I like them, and they're quite long episodes - a lot of them are two hours which is very enjoyable in these days of 45min series.

Season one of True Detective - excellent

Yes, I enjoyed that. I'm waiting for series 2 to finish before watching it.

I'm 30mins through an episode of the bridge and enjoying it so far!

Got loads of stuff to look at now!

[Crush]

Fringe is good. We are midway through season 2 and finding it interesting.

[rsv gone!]

Banshee, as mentioned above.

Also, it is a bit 'boys own adventure' but Strike Back is pretty good. Lots of action and gun-play. Very accessible.

recent stuff:
Sons of Anarchy
Banshee
Justified
Scandal
True Detective

Bit older:
Luther

Much older!
24

[rich85uk]

Justified is brilliant, as is season 1 of true detective
Banshee isn't as good as either but action packed and good entertainment
Peaky blinders is a good shout
Fargo, only a few episodes in but it's very good

[B3NNL]

Peaky Blinders deffo a good shout. Looking forward to S3 later this year!

[LukeST]

Breaking Bad is hard to get into, you need to get into Series 2 to start appreciating it!

I was hooked first time around, even now on 2nd time I am!

[E65Ross]

Watched the first episode of the bridge last night and enjoyed it!

I've seen a few of the suggestions (eg 24, breaking bad, fargo (loved this!), Luther and few others) but there are also plenty of others for me to look at when I've finished the bridge!

Thanks guys!

Another vote for The Bridge

Also really enjoyed Homeland, the first 2 seasons of that had me on the edge of my seat, and Bates Motel (which I thought was going to be rubbish, but really enjoyed it), and The Walking Dead which is probably my favourite of them all...

Have just started watching Penny Dreadful, am 3 episodes in and it looks like it's gonna be good.

Southland, very good police series. Hugely underrated.

I've seen one episode but was a bit undecided on it. Does it improve?

In a word, yes.

Ok I'll give it another try. I'm currently on Hill St Blues. Brilliant show so far. I'm also waiting for TD2 to finish so I can binge watch that.

[Halb]

Yes, Fargo is very good, just misses out on my US top ten.

[Bullett]

Fargo was excellent.
Sense8 is worth a look if you have Netflix.
I don't think I've seen the Walking Dead mentioned and of course Game of Thrones is the very definition of thrilling (except maybe the last series which had its moments but was slower overall).

Ultraviolet: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169501/

Worth the search if you can find it.

[geeks]

Burn Notice is a good shout, gets another vote from me.

Black List is good as well, James spader is a cracking actor.

[bexVN]

Ooh, I wanted to give Blacklist a go, must remember that one (trouble is we have too many on the go already!)
