Sopranos?
Breaking Bad?
Prison Break?
24?

I loved Sopranos as I was pregnant with my first and loved snuggling up every night on the sofa watching it while feeling bump wriggle about.

Loved the ending of MadMen
Also loved the Good Wife - peaked about half way through, was a bit rubbish at the end.

Six Feet Under. Exceptionally good TV with the best final episode I have ever seen
I wish it was on Netflix or Prime I'd love to watch it all again.

Chrisinthemorning · 30/10/2018 17:49

The West Wing
It’s just brilliant.

AnyFucker · 30/10/2018 17:50

Six feet under here too

I watched it all again from the beginning recently on Now TV

House MD.

flissfloss65 · 30/10/2018 17:53

Dexter and Breaking Bad. Have watched both twice.

NicoAndTheNiners · 30/10/2018 17:54

Grey's anatomy for me. Love the mix of romance and medical stuff. I got to binge watch 12 seasons in a row as I only started watching it recently.

Shortandsweet20 · 30/10/2018 17:54

Prison break
Desperate housewives
Suits

insertcaffeine · 30/10/2018 17:55

The West Wing and Buffy.

NicoAndTheNiners · 30/10/2018 17:55

I've never watched six feet under, keep meaning to.

StoorieHoose · 30/10/2018 17:55

greys anatomy and sons of anarchy. As much as a love dexter I haven’t watched it again as the last episode tainted it all

We started on Game of thrones recently. Almost finished season 5. I absolutely love it. It's just so different to anything else I've watched. Nearly every episode has me like Shock. I know I'll be sad when it's all over.

trebleclef101 · 30/10/2018 17:57

ER for me. I'm currently working my way through the complete box set for the third time Grin

I never get bored of it.

ProfessionallyUnoffended · 30/10/2018 17:58

Band of Brothers. So compelling and heart breaking.

MimsyBorogroves · 30/10/2018 17:59

Frasier.

Beach11 · 30/10/2018 17:59

The Affair

IsabelleSE19 · 30/10/2018 18:00

The Wire.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit.

Ursaminor · 30/10/2018 18:02

Another vote for the West Wing - watched it through twice and will do it again. It doesn't date.

Bestseller · 30/10/2018 18:02

The West Wing. I recently rewatched it, expecting the "banter" to have dated horribly but it has stood the test of time and is the best TV I've ever watched. As with them all it did go on 1/2 seasons too long though.

PawneeParksDept · 30/10/2018 18:03

I really feel like Greys Anatomy peaks during season 6, and has continued to run so far on the tremendous amount of goodwill accrued towards the show and its characters. It started as a really good, witty drama and is now a glorified soap.

Best Box Set Binge This Year is beyond a doubt Dark on Netflix just outstanding

Best All Time

Game Of Thrones
The Wire
Breaking Bad
The West Wing
Mad Men

In roughly that order with some jostling for position

Guilty Pleasure shoutout to Gilmore Girls and Alias

DwangelaForever · 30/10/2018 18:03

Breaking bad 😍

And supernatural up until where it was supposed to end (season 5)

ShatnersBalloonFromPennywise · 30/10/2018 18:04

The Wire. Really gripping storylines and quality production. And sheeeeeeiiiiit.

Haircutdilemma · 30/10/2018 18:05

I liked How To Get Away With Murder, keeps you guessing start to finish.

Prison Break
Breaking Bad
The 100
The missing

I keep meaning yo watch Dexter but haven't got round to it yet.

ChoccyJules · 30/10/2018 18:05

The West Wing. Nothing comes close for me.
