I'd like to buy and watch a marathon box set of one of the last decade's best TV shows with the missus

She hates watching anything with extensive sexual scenes but completely draws the line at sexual violence, (we had to switch off the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo during the first rape scene on Sky a while back and I ended up watching it on my own later)

Can anyone recommend anything that fits the bill? The only major series I've watched so far is The Wire which I loved and would have been ok to watch with the wife as I don't remember anything overtly sexually violent (the assaults by Michael's step father seemed largely to be implied)

I'd quite like to watch Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Lost in that order. Would these be ok to watch with the wife?

Or would anyone like to recommend anything else?

Yeah, get a new Mrs. wink
She's ok with most thing of the stuff I want to watch. Stuff like A SERBIAN FILM has to be on the laptop with the headphones in or else in the spare bedroom.

But I'd like to watch something together

Have you seen Lost?
No but it looks good and I've heard good things about it.

Not seen BB, the Sopranos...there is quite a bit of sex in it, short scenes, mostly Tony cheating. There is the odd scene where violence is implied, there is quite a bit of violence all round in it though, some towards women. Might not be for you.
Strangely she's not as squeamish with the violence and she's sat through some violent films before like GOODFELLAS

For me, prison break started out fantastically, and then descended into a long, dull, drawn-out farce that bored me to tears by the end...
Would it be worth watching the first series only then? And for a drama set in prison are you sure there's no OZ-style man-on-man American History X type scenes?
