    Just finished watching The Killing (danish version), and have already watched The Bridge.

    I really enjoyed both of them – any suggestions for another series to watch?

    6 Feet Under and the Wire stand out for me also Bodies.

    Tried BSG and Dexter, not for me.

    Misfits. Luther. or oldskool Twin Peaks

    If you are liking The Killing and other scandinavian TV check out some of their cinema too. I did a bit of work on Max Manus

    some of the same people were involved in Headhunters

    Breaking Bad is an absolute must

    I tried Boardwalk Empire – while it was amazingly shot, only managed a few episodes, but didn’t grab me.

    Is 6 Feet Under quite old? I can remember watching the first few series of that a good few years back – the early ones were ok, but then it tailed off

    thanks folks – lots to look into.

    Depends what kind of thing you’re after. Breaking Bad is easy to watch. A mate has lent me the whole series of The Wire but I haven’t got past the first series…It seems dated to me.
    Movie2k has got just about any series you could want.

    6FU is 00-05 or so I think. Not everyone’s cup of tea.

    Wire…dated?

    Californication. Hilarious, well written and downright filthy.

    2: Game of Thrones – Ya bastad
    3: Board Walk Empire – random violence, dont ya know.
    4: X Files – shoulder pads
    5: Black Adder – cunning plan

    Breaking Bad. It’s better than The Wire imo.

    I love breaking bad, but no way is it better than the Wire IMO.

    For me it goes:

    The Wire
    Sopranos
    Game of Thrones/Breaking Bad (can’t decide which is best)
    Battlestar Galactica

    Tried to get into Mad Men and watched a couple of series but I’m just not that grabbed by it. It’s beautifully designed and shot etc but I find the plotting/pacing bitty and inconsistent.

    I prefer Game of Thrones to The Wire, but the Sopranos still takes it in terms of epicness. Game of Thrones might eventually overtake though.

    I second Justified. Redneckalicious; proper dark characters, I love it when the leads are a bit dirty…

    sons of anarchy
    firefly, serenity
    carnivale

    Spiral is a good French crime series and I don’t think anyone has mentioned The great Romanzo Criminale. Braquo was great too as others have said.

    I’ve just watched Prisoners of War, the Israeli series on which Homeland was based. It was brilliant. You can get it on LoveFilm.

    MUCH better than Homeland IMO. More realistic, better acted, lot less Flag Wavy. A bit too realistic at times with the torture stuff. Although a couple of plot twists were ruined by having seen Homeland.

    Download “Rubicon”, from US cable network AMC. Nice bit of Yank drama.

    I like Wallander too – prefer the original ones to the UK remake.

    Anybody mentioned Wallander yet – the original Swedish one, not the British one.

    From about 2005/6?

    Fantastic series 🙂

    1: Breaking Bad – up until the wheelchair bomb.

    Dude! Should have put up a Spoiler alert

    Deadwood is another great suggestion, but be warned that due to the usual habit of commissioning Networks cancelling shows, there’s no satisfying resolution to story arcs at the end of season 3. Great acting, but dialogue not for the sensitive ear.

    +1s for Friday Night Lights (it isn’t about american football), Rubicon and West Wing.
