Help! what next? (TV series dilemma)

[thewave]

Here's my problem. Wife was an Emmerdale, Eastenders and Corrie addict for years, until this one day, my mate bought me 24 for my birthday.

We sat down, watch the first few episodes, and so we were hooked. No more Corrie <phew>

However, since the 1st May this year, we've consumed series 1,2,3,4 and are now coming to the end of 5 I know there's a 6, but what then?

Will I be forever watching those miserable soaps on terrestrial again?

Please someone, recommend me another gripping TV series I can sit and watch with the missus...

Is Prison Break any good?

[jimothy]

Luckily my missus has some taste so we've waded through Futurama, M*A*S*H and we've got Allo Allo to go as well!

[Sciroccology]

Oz. Nuff said.

[Plotloss]

The Wire
The Sopranos
Deadwood
Heroes
Battlestar Galactica
Weeds
Chuck
Dexter
Lost

Once you've done that lot, then it gets a bit more tricky.

Starting 'The Unit' tonight, it could go one of two ways I reckon.

The West Wing.

[andy400]

Seen 'The Company'?

It's only a three (long) part series, but it's very very good.

Worth a look then?

Theres a few series of that isnt there?

[Davey S2]

How about trying doing something together that doesnt involve the TV?

[tonyvid]

Prison Break and The Shield are both very good.

Have dipped in and out of "The Unit" and found it a bit hit and miss, a bit "Curate's egg".

I'm sticking with my recommendation of "Oz". Just beware the Neo-Nazis.

The first 5 seasons are amongst the best television ever made. Superlative.

Last couple a bit weaker, but still worth it.

I've all the boxettes sitting in storage since I moved - you're more than welcome to store them for me a while if you like.

Edge of Darkness

Look up the reviews on the net. Absolutely incredible series from a few years back.

Prison Break is superb.

I love Lost but I know alot don't. People complain it doesnt make sense but you really need to watch it from the beginning and stick with it. Ive watched it all right upto the latest stuff and the majority still doesnt make sense but its fantastic.

Life on Mars is great if you didnt watch it on TV.

edit - Not sure how I managed to quote myself in my own topic before even posting it...

24 Series 7 is due in the early part of 2009. It was delayed by the Writer's strike..

Thought it was 24 season 6 part 2 people are waiting for.

I would recommend the sporanos and the west wing.

[L4URA]

Having been a 24 addict myself I can say it was hard when I watched the last episode. However the void was quickly filled by Prison break, which is excellant!!

I also revisted the X-Files box sets recently, thay are all good too!

I'd add Supernatural to that list.
