Breaking Bad

[Crispin]

Ok, perhaps somewhat sadly, this year I seem to have become addicted to a couple of tv drama series. First Vikings, brilliantly made, fantastic characters and a touch of history (I had no idea the Vikings sacked Paris). Then tried Game of Thrones, could not get into this at all, characters seemed a bit limp wristed after Vikings. Just finished Breaking Bad, wonderfully watchable, now I need another! Google searches suggest Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead. Who's got a recommendation please!

If you have not seen Sopranos then its a no brainer!!!!

Better call Saul is brilliant. Different to Breaking Bad but shares the same universe obviously.

The Wire.

I never finished Breaking Bad. Just found some of it unrealistic and silly.

The Wire ive watched twice.

How could I have forgotten The Wire?
Best series EVER ! Ive just finished it for the second time now too...

Each to their own and I did enjoy Vikings, but it's nothing on GoT. GoT has much more depth, more going on, and the majority of the characters are complex.

In answer to your original question; just hit Netflix and watch away. Better Call Saul, Sons of Anarchy, Orange is the Black, Suits. If you've only really just got into the series binge thing I would just pick a show at random and go from there. You don;t really want to start with all the top shows and work your way backwards.

White collar and suits, both on Netflix.

I did Breaking Bad and thoroughly enjoyed it, followed it with Suits which was moderate to fair but I watched it out. Now I'm just approaching the end of series 1 of Under the Dome which ain't too bad.
It's keeping me watching it so I guess that tells you summit !

Walking Dead is excellent, it had some low points through the seasons but very watchable.

This comes up all the time (including a thread by myself - d'oh!) - have a look HERE

Boardwalk Empire remains my all time favourite TV drama show. The Office: An American Workplace is my all time favourite TV comedy, followed closely by Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Currently watching House of Cards, which I found hard to get into, but I am glad I stuck with it.

Game of Thrones is well worth a look.

Vikings is good too.

All, most, great recommendations, but if you haven't watched the sopranos that should really be on top of your list.
The only other good one that wasn't mentioned already that I can think of is Banshee.

Banshee is in the league of it's own, great cast, great story, but a lot of people can not get past sex and violence


Justified! That was great show also

[kaiserphoenix]

Oh I forgot to mention Homeland is good too
