It's crap in both English and Spanish! Absolute nonsense show, terrible acting, annoying characters.

Any recommendations for shows to watch on Netflix/other....old or new.....

I have seen absolutely nothing in recent years and that includes breaking bad, game of thrones, any BBC1 drama's etc etc..

What should I watch??

If you haven't already watched it, start with Sopranos

Good call. Was absolutely brilliant nearly every week it was on.

When you're finished that, watch 'The Wire'.

No show has even come remotely close to being as good as The Wire. Superb show with brilliant development of characters.

It was great however the final series got a bit silly

Watch The West Wing, easily the best political drama ever. Even though the first series is over 20 years old now, it's not dated at all.

The Wire was very good but wouldn't have it at the top level, where the like of BB, Dexter, GOT and Soprano's sit.

BB is the most overrated series ever. Not even one likeable character in it. I have to admit I watched it all hoping for it to get better but the last 3 series were tough going. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The Wire is as a clear level above all other tv shows ever made. I tried both the Sopranos and West Wing but by f**k they're tough going. Got halfway through both first series.

The first series of the Wire can be a bit of a trudge but the Hamsterdam series is without par IMO.

Season 4 with the kids and Chris and Snoop doing their thing is the best season of TV ever made.

I love all those long form ones but the Wire is the best of the lot and it's not even close. Am re-watching the Sopranos again at the moment with the wife (her first time) and while it's good, it's not a patch on the Wire.

Yeah, I would have the Wire a clear head above anything else. The characters were so well-rounded.
There was no simplistic good vs bad.

And the fact each season was so well defined and had a definitive purpose, each one added to the overall story.
Too many shows get greedy and keep pushing out the end, and when they get there they haven't a clue how to wrap it up (I'm looking at you, GoT)

The Wire was immense I don't think series 5 did enough damage to stop it from being number 1 unlike the last serious of GOT.

The wire is decent but not a patch on sopranos, not even in the conversation imo

BTW, just started watching the west wing

I'd have Gomorrah above the Wire and Sopranos. I've never watched a tv show and felt so many moments of tension. The characters and acting are superb. The Shield is another favourite of mine. Does Band of Brothers count as a series? If it does then that's clearly the best piece of TV ever made.
