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.

@DianaT1969 I'm seriously tempted to ditch it then. Couldn't really care less what happens to Marty and Co anymore, and am trying to finish S2 of The Crown and This is Us as well Grin

AfterSchoolWorry · 30/10/2018 19:51

Sopranos.

The end.

And yes, I've watched everything else.

Lokisglowstickofdestiny · 30/10/2018 19:54

The Sopranos because the brilliance of the writing and acting made me care for some pretty loathsome individuals (except Carmela, I always hated her!).

Dexter, Got, Better call Saul...

The ones I really loved though were Carnivale, Fringe, Warehouse 13, The Pacific, and Hatfields and McCoys.

Oh, and The Lost Room. Genius show.

LittleMachine · 30/10/2018 20:19

Whatthefunk I came on to say The Killing. Thought it was brilliant. And I was strangely attracted to Holder by the end 😳

Also loved This is England - absolutely brutal, heartbreaking viewing.

TammySwansonTwo · 30/10/2018 20:33

Carnivale is bloody amazing, but being cancelled I struggle to recommend it as it ends in such a frustrating way.

TammySwansonTwo · 30/10/2018 20:34

Better Call Saul kicks Breaking Bad for me - just rewatched BB and I think lots of people remember it through rose coloured spectacles. It’s great, but there are better shows IMO.

Foyle’s War

I can watch it over and over without tiring. The plots are great. Michael Kitchen is superb and it’s historically interesting. It’s also moving and has a really beautiful soundtrack.
