To be fair Edge of Darkness was very well rated in its day, so probably doesn’t qualify in this thread.

+1 for State of Play and Shadow Line.

I’m enjoying Utopia and The Following atm

15 Stories High

I remember this from when I was younger, and have recently been rewatching it on Netflix. Fantastic series.

I’d probably also add in ‘The Street’.

I bought Underbelly on boxset cos I missed a lot of episodes on FX the cable channel a few years back, it an Aussie drug crime family thing.
I have secret state on my V+ box (might watch that as I’m laid up With broken ankle)
A lot of them BBC northern dramas are good, playing the field, the street, etc etc, always a similar group of actors but the stories are always quite real.

Traffik was excellent, also enjoyed Murder One

The Corner – stunning and includes added Cool Lester Smooth.

Generation Kill is pretty fine, but it is also the work of David Simon that’s to be expected.

@mbl1, love The Wire, want to see The Corner

Generation kill – best mini-series out there. Marines in Afghan sing avril lavine

+1. It’s awesome.

“Is the news true, sir?”
“yes, we are going into action in Iraq”
“No, I mean about J-Lo being killed?”

Yes Generation Kill was fab. But, as stated by someone on the previous page…
IT’S NOT UNDERRATED!!

want to see The Corner

Pretty good series, but much slower than the wire. Treme was from the same makers, I couldn’t even make it all the way through that. Nothing really happened.

Iraq. You can’t have watched very closely.

Lillyhammer

Mini-series?

(S2 in production I believe).

Warriors.

Set in Bosnia; a brilliant cast but I don’t know of anyone else who watched it.

Edge of Darkness should be the end of this thread, though. Untouchable.

another +1 for Firefly

Rome Series 1 (even if you did know how it was going to end)

Green Wing.

the booth at the end

Green Wing.

Nice. Series 1 and 3 though; series 2 just wasn’t as funny.

Is Spaced a step too far?!

Not so much a mini series but, The Larry Sanders Show.

I’d like to see something along the lines of the first series of This Life again.

Shadow Line
Shooting the Past (don’t know whether this counts as under-rated)

Mongrels on BBC3 was ace.

Anyone remember this:

Again another owner of the ultraviolet series (some brilliant vampire idea’s, way ahead of the current crop of pap), loved the short lost room too, lots of other great suggestions too, was about to suggest Mongrels, but have been beaten to it 😀
Very funny, but no BBC renewal for series 3, Boooo
