Fair enough. Will give it another eventually. I might be the only person who has never seen The Wire. Should probably adjust my expectations a bit to a more story driven show.

Ok well stop what you're doing, and watch The Wire :DFair enough. Will give it another eventually. I might be the only person who has never seen The Wire. Should probably adjust my expectations a bit to a more story driven show.
It starts of slowly, but try and follow the characters and once you do that and understand the extent of what is happening, you'll love it.

I always think the American programmes start getting a bit silly with their story lines after about Series 4 n’all.A lot of USA programmes recommended on here. I've tried to watch a few including Succession but I find most Yank series include a lot of "padding". As an example goi g back a few years the U.K. Mad Dogs first series lasted four episodes whereas the USA version which followed the same storyline was 10 episodes long.
Currently enjoying The Serpent made by the BBC and Netflix, very good cast and loosely based on a true story (apparently).
They can never finish anything after two to four series, or keep things going at a sensible pace.
Agree, one US series I enjoyed was Homeland but it went well off beam after about three series, just got totally ridiculous.I always think the American programmes start getting a bit silly with their story lines after about Series 4 n’all.

A bit old now but I missed it the first time around, I've just completed downloading My Name is Earl. Enjoyed the first couple of episodes so it'll give me a bit of light relief rather than the more serious stuff I've been binging on.

Serial killer on the loose, two detectives on the case and I don't give a shit that your wife and kids have made a meal that you didn't turn up for.

Brilliant series, I have the lot to watch again too. Probably one of only a handful of comedies to actually make me laugh out loud, and wince, in recent years. Catalina isn't too hard to look at, either.A bit old now but I missed it the first time around, I've just completed downloading My Name is Earl.

Pretty much like most cop shows, nearly all divorced these days and most in the UK are investigating a murder, miss coppers chasing bad guys. Sweeney used to be great, good guys chasing the underworld, heavy drinkers, criminal slapping adulterers.I like a lot of U.S programs but they just fill it with a load of meaningless crap sometimes.

Life on Mars, "you're surrounded by armed bastards" great programmes, escapism with a bit of humour chucked in.
