Did you really hate Breaking Bad? Only saying that because I love both Nurse Jackie and Orange is the New Black and love BB more than anything I've ever watched! Mind you, I couldn't get past the first episode of either Dexter or Sopranos, so it's quite possible to have a spiky profile!

Do like Homeland, but the second series was awful. Still keeping the faith for series 3 though!

Scandal is the new one I'm enjoying at the mo

It 's alright Grin

It's the very last Dexter tonight, I'm not happy.

Loved Damages and The Sopranos

I absolutely adored Nurse Jackie and Orange is the New Black. I don't watch Dexter because I don't like gory stuff. I couldn't get passed the first episode of BB.

I love Suits and I know everyone's already watched it but at the moment I'm watching The Killing and loving it, although it is mostly because of Joel Kinnaman Grin.

Loved first Damages and then all got a bit silly, samey and gratuitous, i thought.

I watched 1 & a bit of BB- thought v original (very!) , quite clever script, plot and good acting. But then. For me, so what? Just don't enjoy shootouts etc and didn't grip me at all. I just cant be bothered watching anything any more unless it really entices me away from MN etc

I SO wish Nurse Jackie had continued - fab characterisation, gripping and v clever. Even Orange not quite as good.

Oh, no Suits on Netflix, shame.

Another vote for Scandal. It has strong female characters, which I suspect is a requirement?

Oh, or what about Suburgatory?

I guess it is ideally. Sadly neither is on Netflix.

The Big C is very very good
Parks and Recreation, very different, an acquired taste, but worth it
Community was very enjoyable but got silly (like Lost but in a different way)
Six Feet Under is very old but if you haven't seen it it's well worth it

IDugUpADiamond · 30/09/2013 20:16

Parenthood

Fairylea · 30/09/2013 20:18

Another one who can't believe you love orange and nurse jackie and not breaking bad....!!! I love all three, they are all sort of similar in the characters and modern themes etc.

Anyway...hmm... thinks....house of cards? Sons of anarchy?

IDugUpADiamond · 30/09/2013 20:40

I also really enjoyed Big Love

Salbertina · 30/09/2013 21:22

Ah, none of them is on netflix except house of cards which i loved back in 90s, will watch again!

Another vote for Weeds.

Did you watch Lillehammer? Strange but v good.

Salbertina · 30/09/2013 21:31

Yeah, quite like Weeds, a slow-burner but warming up nicely.

I'm now going to watch Weeds, Big Love and Nurse Jackie. I hadn't heard of either of them before and both look good. Also already wanted to see Sons of Anarchy and House of Cards. I find Amozon quite handy for reviews of stuff.

Signed up to Netflix recently and loved Breaking Bad, watched it all in 2-3 weeks and caught up in time for the finale.

So much telly so little time Grin
