    Recommend me a Box Set.

    Chaps

    Sky has given us 11 months fee movies and box sets, we enjoyed Homeland, 24 and kids like conspiracy type stuff.

    So what have you seen and what's worth a look over the winters evenings.

    Mad Men was as good a series as any I've seen. . . . .takes a few episodes to get into it.

    If you want 'light' watching that's funny and entertaining then Californication is brilliant. Whilst laid up after an operation last year I watched the lot in a few weeks. Stars David Duchovny as a very laid back novelist who er struggles to keep it in his pants
    And one of the characters Charlie Runkle is one of the funniest characters on screen.

    I've just restarted The Wire which is truly magnificent TV.

    Band of Brothers is well worth a watch. I don't watch many TV series right through but those two I'll happily rewatch. I've already seen The Wire in its entirety twice.

    May be old and done to death but: -
    1. Breaking Bad
    2. Sopranos
    3. In Betweeners
    You just can't go wrong with these.

    Breaking Bad
    Peaky Blinders
    West World

    & just watched Making a Murderer, and Narcos on Net Flix.
    It's just a matter of time...

    I do not have Sky TV, but if they can provide it, old, but good - "Curb Your Enthusiasm", "Seinfeld", Twin Peaks". You've probably seen them all. I'll get my coat...

    Curb and Seinfeld are great.

    I would also recommend Vikings, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Strain, The Expanse (only 1 season available so far), Trailer Park Boys (for something a bit different and daft).

    Death in paradise is an easy watch, kid friendly with a murder solved at the end of each one.

    I have now watched all of Seinfeld twice but I always hesitate to recommend it because so many people I know just can't stand it. Pretty marmite.

    Same on both counts for me. I would watch it again and I'll recommend it again.

    Cheers Chaps for all the suggested.

    Trying to agree has been a challenge but we have started The Blacklist and Criminal Minds for starters.

    For me the best and hence most under-rated police/procedural show is Spiral/Engrenages [set in Paris]. Terrific. Box of series 1-4 £19.99 on Amazon.

    We've just started Fargo and we're really enjoying it.

    Suits is great too, and goes without saying you must watch Breaking Bad, with Better Call Saul as a follow up.

    I really enjoyed Orange is the New Black too.

    I'm currently enjoying the West Wing - on the 3rd in a series of 7 seasons.

    I did watch Breaking Bad a couple of years ago and thought that was very well done too.

    The Shield
    Sopranos
    Breaking Bad
    Better Call Saul
    The Wire
    Always Sunny in Philadelphia
    The Thick of It
    The Larry Sanders Show
    Curb Your Enthusiasm
    Arrested Development.

    Some fantastically sweary series in that list.
    Quite a few others that are suitable for family viewing such as Malcolm In the Middle and the Wonder Years.

    I recently watched Gomorrah which was original made by Sky Italia and sometimes airs on Sky Atlantic.
    It's only two series but its really top kit, very fitting for those who enjoyed The Wire or is sister mini-series The Corner.

    Just started The OA on Netflix last night. Seems decent.

    If you don't mind subtitles "Braquo" is fantastic.

    Agreed with earlier comments re: Peaky Blinders. Recently saw Designated Survivor which was pretty OK too

    Gomorrah - the best mafia type series.

    True detective season 1 - best murder mystery.

    The Wire - although it's about street drug dealing, actually about society.

    In my humble opinion!
