Recommend me some good TV series to buy
Discussion
mrs P is spending a fair bit of time on the sofa, but doesn't like to get into full movies and she'd like some great "series" to watch.
So what can you recommend?
She has been watching in no particular order- The Simpsons, Grey's Anatomy, House, Game of Thrones, New Sherlock Holmes
Thought of:
The Sopranos
what else?

Prison Break was pretty good up until the 4th series started, I'd only bother with the first 2.
Deadwood is brilliant all the way through, though they should have made more as it ended with the third series and they had planned a 4th.
Fringe is very good as well if you like (almost) believable science fiction.
Last one, A town called Eureka, we've been watching this lately as well. Not bad, it has a comedy element to it and is sort of in the same genre as Fringe.

Alan Ball's/HBO 'Six Feet Under'.
http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0248654/
"A drama series that takes a darkly comical look at members of a dysfunctional California family that runs an independent funeral home."
Rating on IMDB is 9/10 35,750 votes.
I think this and True Blood are the only TV series I've ever watched in entirety. Six Feet Under being almost the only reason I owned a TV for the time it was broadcast.

24 1-8 watch them in the correct order too.
West wing - brilliant
4400
Boardwalk empire season 1&2
Ringer - didn't think I'd like it but it's good
Damages - very smart
Band of brothers
Babylon 5 1-5 might be her cup of tea mightn't
Sopranos
Hero's season 1 only.
Dexter
That's enough to last you for a year frankly

Also can I recommend the Jack reacher series by Lee Child they read themselves great.

This - I'm embarrased to admit I find it highly amusing, plus it has the bonus of being able to imagine doing rotten things with Eva Longoria whilst the misses is sat there thinking she's finally tamed you!NewNameNeeded said:

And this - only got round to watching it properly last year - I'm amazed out how many people haven't heard of it!Nimby said:
Breaking Bad.
Absolutely this; as close to perfect as TV gets. It's the best TV show ever made, closely followed by The Wire (IMHO). Dexter has already been mentioned and is worth a watch.Comedy wise, check out Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Community, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (if you fancy something a bit darker) and Suits (more a drama I suppose, but with comedy elements)
