Finished 'The Sopranos' Boxed Set..need recommendations now

[Stablelad]

We're addicted to quality boxed sets me and my Gumar .

So far have done...

West Wing
Sopranos
Rome
World at War

I'm hearing great things about 'The Wire'

Any further thoughts from you all Matey-PHeeps?

[Mattygooner]

The wire is good.

You could go for comedy, American Dad and Family Guy, My name is Earl.

If not, 24, Dexter, lost i suppose.

[DrTre]

Buffy.
MASH.
Six Feet Under.

[LayZ]

+1 for The Wire.

The Shield is also superb tv.

[SpencerO]

Prison Break

(edited cos i cant read...)

Northern Exposure boxed sets are pretty cheap now.

[Stablelad]

Thanks.

Tried to get into 24 but found it a bit samey and the acting largely mince.

Trying to find something with a bit of depth and not toooo Americanised.


Edited to add...

Also watched..

Prison Break
The Shield

Heimat.
Das Boot (TV version..I think)

[fathomfive]

Scrubs
Planet Earth & The Blue Planet

[Blue Meanie]

Dexter is excellent, as are Firefly, The Equalizer, X-Files, Oz, Jericho, Sharpe, Hornblower...

[JagLover]

We watch virtually all of our TV on boxed sets now.

I would second Lost and Dexter and also recommend House.

[Famous Graham]

Band of Brothers.

No question - different subject matter obviously, but still HBO. Purveryors of the finest TV known to man at the moment.

[SpencerO]

The Mark Evans "...Is Born" box set... 60 odd quid on amazon - bargain...

[hairykrishna]

I'm not normally a fan of Japanese animated stuff but I just watched all of 'Deathnote' and it was excellent.

[Stablelad]

Thanks all!

Anyone got series 1-3 of The Wire? I'm seeing it on Amazon for £15 per series or I could avail of your dust gathering copy instead?!?

[Not Ideal]

Its not drama but entourage is the bomb...best tv series. Think there was a thread on it a while back.

Aside from that heard good things about The Wire, The Shield and Californication

[Dibble]

The Wire.

Takes a little while to get going, and you need to concentrate*. Stuff that you don't realise is relevant will pop up again a few episodes later, and it all fits together.

*Unless of course you're Mrs Dibble... "Just pause it a minute. Who's that? I've not seen him before. Why is he doing that? Where did they go?..."
