Struggling to find a good show to stick with at the minute. Trying to get onto the way of Deadwood at the minute but not really doing it for me at the minute. What do you recommend lads?

Watched The Affair, Peaky Blinders, Walking Dead, House, Broadchurch, Suits, House of Cards and a few others I've missed no doubt. All decent shows. Still nothing to compete with The Wire, Sopranos, The Shield and Entourage though.

Stick with it, it's fantastic.

Aussie show called Underbelly of you haven't seen it is very good, at least the first series.

Watched underbelly. The first series is good but goes down hill after that. Orange is the new black wasn't a bad show either!

Underworld is great; first 3 seasons (haven't seen after that).  The first 2-3 episodes are a bit dodgy, I have to say.  Was going to give up on it, but very happy I didn't.

Same with Deadwood.  Wasn't that taken with it at first, but it's definitely a grower.

Breaking Bad not mentioned in the original list--give that one a go if you haven't already.

Oh yeah, and Fargo, if you haven't seen it is absolutely fantastic.  Up there with the Sopranos/The Wire.

I didn't give Fargo a chance to be fair. I watched a couple of episodes and the accents and a few characters were annoying me. Must start it up again once I finish deadwood. Breaking bad and Homeland are others I forgot to add to my already watched list. Not really a series but Band of Brothers is probably the best thing i have ever watched. I can't see anything else ever beating it.

Game of Thrones, Dexter, Person Of Interest, Breaking Bad?

Same as me with Deadwood . Gave up after 3/4 episodes. Must be something to it as alot of people rave about it. Not me though.

Give American Horror Story a go. Quirky to say the least.

Agent Orange

If George RR Martin had created Star Trek.

Daredevil on Netflix is very good after 3 episodes.

I agree, Fargo was really enjoyable. Not as good as The Wire but a great series nonetheless.

The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst

6 part HBO miniseries (true story). Absolutely superb.

I enjoyed the first episode of The Affair last night.
Quite cleverly done. I didnt watch the second one yet, might do that tonight.

Its hard to think of Dominic West as anyone other than McNulty though !
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Murder in Successville on BBC3, my new favourite show. I'd imagine it 'll be one of those love it or hate it with no inbetween type of shows.

enjoying the Peter Kay show as well.
