    I've jut finished watching the entire series and am feeling a little bereaved…is there anythign comparable to watch next?

    I have the first dvd of Wired to watch, True Blood is another obvious answer I suppose, it just counds a bit daft!

    Nothing quite matches the quality of Lauren Ambrose and Mena Suvari rolling on the grass….

    The Wire will ruin you for all other TV shows.

    Battlestar Galactica is just as good, but has space ships so even better.

    Cracking series, never seemed as popular as it deserved to be, I thought.

    I guess you've done Sopranos?
    I'm really enjoying Sons of Anarchy as well.

    You should watch Dexter next and see Michael William C. Hall in a different light.

    True Blood is "made" by the the same fella as Six Feet Under – just starting (last night) S02 on Channel 4, onto S03 in US. I like it, probably took me about 4 or 5 episodes of the first series to get into it the Mrs really likes it features vampires, sex and drugs.

    Echo other recommendations above re BSG and the Wire, although think the Sopranos is better than all of them.

    I think Sopranos reached a height in about the second series when his mother was plotting to have him offed that it never really regained. TV doesn't get much better.

    I would add Rome to the list too, if you like plotting and intrigue in your TV shows. And it had the guy out of Trainspotting in it.

    True blood is quite good, but as above, took me a few episodes to get into it.

    Thanks all, not done many other series so may look into True Blood, Sopranos, Dexter, and watch The Wire.

    BSG

    But I love The Wire – just finished the second series and I can imagine, from the way things are set up, the third series will be a cracker.

    So BSG is soft porn?

    BSG is great, religion, politics, philosphy and big frack* off spaceships.

    BSG has something for everybody, great scripts, proper Sci Fi plotting and contemporary political references, the number 6s for the dads and of course Apollo and Anders for the girls.

    Dramatic tension with the whole who is really a cyclon thing – comments about religion. OK nobody plots to off their mother but you can't have everything.

    But as said, the best thing, great big frack off spaceships.

    Seriously, watch it, would loan it you but somebody has just borrowed the pilot and series one off me.

    A great series,
    "good" ending too.

    Hope you like the wire, stick with it as it is worth it.

    And the lassie who played the 6s, that picture aside, is a fantastic actor you could tell what 6 character she was instantly.

    P.S Russell Crowe is Australian, in spite of their attempts to blame us for him.

    I'm just working my way through the first series of Oz. Grim but utterly, completely brilliant. I might have to try and figure out exactly when it went mad and stop watching before that point, the last series was pretty ridiculous in places.

    Then, back to the West Wing.

    … which is exactly what I'm watching right now.

    Another vote for BSG, although I am yet to watch the end of season 4. There are also some "specials" done as well.

    Farscape is also very good, but a little dated by comparison to the newer stuff.

    Just finished watching Oz, highly recommended indeed (although some of the violence is a little extreme to say the least).

    Dexter
    West Wing – fooking awesome
    Wire – fooking awesome too
    The shield – gets better by the season
    Californication – funny as
    Sons of Anachy – made me want to join a bike gang
    John from Cincinnati – excellent, "twin peaks" confusing

    I am also trying to come to terms with life after The Wire. Currently watching … The Wire. Again. And Homicide Life On The Street, made by the same guy.
