"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

Does the Following have Kevin Bacon in it? If so I watched 2 episodes of that and thought it was fucking dreadful

"Problem I had with The Killing (although in many ways it was brilliant) is that after a few episodes you start to think ""Well, none of this bit can be pivotal becasue there are another 16 hour-long episodes of jumperness yet"". It is great, but it's ultimately just like a really good episode of the Scandi Wallander stretched over 20 hours."

"Grumpster 6:05 Tue Mar 10 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I thought 24 was brilliant and to this day I use Jack Bauer as a model for how to deal with any unwanted inconveniences. Thick daughter though. Not mine, his."

"Grumpster 6:05 Tue Mar 10 I'm only just getting near the end of the first series of Justified. I really like it, and I only tried it so it had Seth Bullock in it."

I thought the Blacklist was ridiculous. But at the least the doris in it made it watchable.

"Have just started watching 24 as had never seen it before. It's ridiculous, but does the job on the train as thankfully I'm able to not take it too seriously. Not a patch on Justified though which I just finished."

"After a recommendation on here I'm trying out Hell On Wheels. It's okay - bit like Deadwood Lite. Sadly it just doesn't have that high quality writing. Nobody ever mentions House on here. Watched it years ago and liked it at the time. I wouldn't have dreamt of watching a hospital drama if it wasn't for Hugh Laurie, but that one character is brilliant. Nearly jumps the shark several times in later series though."

Season 3 House Of Cards is not as good as the first two.

"Halfway through Magic City. Decent. Only two seasons as it got cancelled, but a film is in the pipeline apparently."

"Agree about Prison Break brilliant programme but goes on too long, first two series are the best. Another far fetched one Dexter but over all is superb with great characters. Loved the Wire after a slow start in the first series. Must be half way through season two of Breaking Bad. After hearing the reviews for me it's good but not as good as the three I have mentioned above."

HS - can highly recommend The Wire and it'll keep you going for a while. Haven't seen Luther but have heard good things about it. Funny that you mention Wire and Luther in the same sentence as Idris Elba (Luther) plays Stringer Bell in The Wire.
