Need new series to try: What new US Drama is any good?
Discussion
OK. Now this time it's Mrs Don and I that have run out. We've watched CSI: The Lot and NCIS: All of em. We've seen Flashforward, BSG, SGU, Firefly and more.
Our Sky+HD was replaced recently: nothing on there. My Media PC is empty of shows.
I need new shows to record. Seasons of the stuff. This is because after dinner each evening the Mrs and I watch a show or two. We do not watch ads. We do not put up crud.
But the library is BARE!
So:
What shows broadcasting now or starting soon is worthy of my attention: or rather, the Series Link, button? IN EXTREMIS: What shows are worthy of rental as a boxed set of a season?
What show? What channel/night? Why?
And thanks in advance for help you can offer...

If I was you I'd take a look to see what HBO are putting out at the moment. There is a new thing from them starting soon with Steve Buschemi in about Atlanta in the prohibition era.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was written by Aaron Sorkin. It was only 1 series of 24 shows, each about 45 mins, but I enjoyed it.
Currently we try to keep up to date with Entourage, True Blood, Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory.
I started Sons of Anarchy, but need a couple more episodes to decide whether to bother continuing.

The Unit (well I liked it, girlfriend not so much)
Excluding The Unit (I've not seen it so couldn't comment), this is a brilliant list to start with. May I also add:True Blood
Breaking Bad
24
The Unit (well I liked it, girlfriend not so much)
Prison Break
The Big Bang Theory
Band Of Brothers
Dexter
Californication
Entourage
Breaking Bad would be my high recomendation - it's possibly one of the finest series I've seen in some time!
My favourites that are still going are
Dexter
House
NCIS
It is hard to think of any new US shows that have started in the past couple of years that are particularly good. We may be entering a slack period for US drama shows.
Edited to add. One I had forgotton was a one off season (Generation Kill) which is very good. The best war drama series since BOBs.

Most of the above are good, also worth watching The Pacific, same style as Band of Brothers.
Also there's a new series coming out set in the Al Capone/prohibition era that looked good in the trailers, had some big names in it, called Boardwalk Empire. Looks to be worth a watch.
