If you loved Band of Brothers and Game of Thrones, can you help me?

Dd's boyfriend is 22 next week, he loves boxed sets of dvds and these are two of his favourites.

I've seen neither of them so am hoping that someone can suggest something that he may like. I'm a West Wing woman and I don't think that's really up his street.

Thanks

the wire?

yellreviewer · 28/03/2012 19:38

Sopranos?

Hanleyhigh · 28/03/2012 19:58

Underbelly
Deadwood

lilibet · 28/03/2012 20:03

I've never heard of Underbelly, I shall look it up

You're all on more or less the same lines as me, all things I have never seen, but I know are highly thought of.

The Shield

I've not seen Game of Thrones - but what about The Pacific or Boardwalk Empire?

puffylovett · 28/03/2012 23:49

He sounds like my dh.

That being said, the only 2 other program's he likes are Sons of Anarchy and The Walking Dead

sobenobu · 29/03/2012 17:50

The Wire
The Shield
The Walking Dead
Dexter

What about The Pacific - think it was made by same team as Band of Brothers. I know my DH liked both.

RobinSparkles · 31/03/2012 19:05

DH likes Game Of Thrones, I have no clue what it is or what it's about but he also likes True Blood if that helps?

BellaCB · 31/03/2012 21:20

God, I wish my DH liked Band of Brothers and True Blood, we'd be much happier together I'm sure...

The Walking Dead is great, but if he doesn't have The Sopranos or Deadwood I'd go for them first.

cocobeefsteak · 31/03/2012 22:09

Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Firefly.

Jacksterbear · 02/04/2012 11:10

Battlestar Galactica

The Wire is the answer to everything Grin

seaweed thank you for confirming that Band of Brothers isn't for me. It's got such a good reputation that I'm often tempted, but now I know it was made by the same people who made The Pacific, I'll pass.

I hated The Pacific. I endured its relentless tedium interspersed with regular short bursts of violent death, much as the soldiers must have done at the time. Grin

Jacksterbear · 02/04/2012 14:54

Nooooo limitedperiod, I love BoB but thought the Pacific was incredibly dull.

MrsCog · 02/04/2012 15:00

Agree with jackster I loved Band of Brothers (have watched it through 3 times) but absolutely hated The Pacific - it was very boring in comparison. Please try it!

strawberrypenguin · 02/04/2012 15:02

Battlestar Galactica (the remake from a couple of years ago not the original)

Ephiny · 02/04/2012 15:10

Boardwalk Empire? Carnevale?

Poledra · 02/04/2012 15:25

DH and I loved Band of Brothers, but he didn't rate Pacific at all.

We're currently working out way through the Lost boxset, OP, and would also recommend Firefly and Battlestar Galactica

strawberrypenguin · 02/04/2012 15:32

Just been looking over my dvds andSherlock is another good one dh and I both enjoy that. On a completely unrelated note I love your name poledra that's one of my favourite sets of books ever

limitedperiodonly · 02/04/2012 15:38

okay. Band of Brothers it is. Don't know how I'll find time to watch all this telly
