If I like Homeland and Mad Men what else might I like?

[wrenster]

Looking for some new recommendations. We will be able to get our Homeland fix towards the end of the month but would love some more series recommendations.

Please help! Thanks

I think you'd like:

The Americans (on ITV). It's been compared to homeland but better apparently (not sure as I missed homeland unfortunately).

Boardwalk Empire. 3rd or 4th series about to start this autumn so get the box set or download. It's not the easiest to get into to begin with but its totally brilliant & worth persevering for a few episodes. You'll be hooked!

Both American imports, makes me UK tv isnt as good.

Ummm, can't think of anything else!

I like :

In Treatment
Dexter
Supernatural
Elementary

Scandal
The newsroom
Suits
The good wife

The Good Wife is excellent

Have you seem the Danish Killing?

Thanks so much for the suggestions, I've looked at their reviews and they all look exactly the kind of thing hubby & I like. I haven't seen any of them and so have added them to my wish list on amazon! I love having a good long list going into autumn and winter.

With the Danish Killing - is it particularly gory? I love a good thriller but not too much gore!

Thanks again

The Sopranos, The Wire, Luther, Breaking Bad. Season one of Forbryldelson (the original Danish version of The Killing)is excellent.

Love Luther, love the Good Wife (it manages to be both clever and amusing at the same time and the casting is brilliant.)

Six Feet Under (quite old now but excellent TV)
Breaking Bad
Boardwalk Empire

I've just finished season 3 of Boardwalk Empire - loved it and I think it is just getting better and better (takes a bit of getting into but worth sticking with it) - this season was the best I think. It was hard going in parts due to violence so if this is not your thing be warned (I had to hide behind a pillow at times). Sopranos is also fabulous but also can be gory - both totally totally worth it though. Danish Killing (fabulous - as was The Bridge) is nothing compared to these two in terms of gore!

The Good Wife is much lighter, no violence and maybe more for woman - I love it but DH not bothered.

I didn't like Breaking Bad and gave up (got too dark for me) but DH really enjoyed it.

Loved Six feet under - the characters are really wonderful.

We are just about to embark on Dexter as it is on Lovefilm instant. Gets rave reviews on imdb so looking forward to it!

House of cards with Kevin spacey, really good show! I can highly recommend it

Breaking Bad. breaking Bad. Just gets better and better.
