Any recommendations for box sets. Have just finished Mad Men - loved it. Have done Breaking Bad,The Affair, The sinner and The Sopranos. Really need a new evening binge recommendation!

I have two more mad men episodes, I will be bereft also

We’ve just finished The West Wing and are about 7 seasons into ER. I adored Mad Men and both of these have brilliant writing and characters

Slartybartfast · 25/06/2018 22:05

I love Fargo

Slartybartfast · 25/06/2018 22:06

Have you tried Suits

bakingdemon · 25/06/2018 22:08

Big Little Lies

Masters of Sex is good if you like Mad Men. First two seasons are on Amazon Prime.

Slartybartfast · 25/06/2018 22:32

Versailles?

I am working through THe Good Wife on Prime. It’s a bit cheesy but I’m loving it. And it’s long - 7 seasons.

The Wire? Best thing I've ever seen (Sopranos a close second). It can take a couple of episodes to get into though and I had to use subtitles at first as I didn't understand a lot of the slang used Blush. Was fine after a couple of episodes though. Amazing series.

Have you tried Better Call Saul yet? It's a much slower paced show than Breaking Bad, but it is gradually unfolding to the point where I think it could be even better than BB was.

I think Mad Men had the best ending to a series ever!

Synecdoche · 26/06/2018 12:55

Second vote for The Good Wife!

Thanks so much for all these recommendations lovely people.
Lots to get looking at there.
Isn't it funny when you finish a really good box set how invested you are in the characters and really miss them. I'll so miss Din Joan and Peggy etc. And poor Betty.
I'm supposed to be on days hol from work today and Sod's law have a shitty water infection😡Just been to walk in docs and got antibiotics so an afternoon in front of the Tv beckons. Dh is lain out on a sun lounger in the garden getting browner and browner - grrr

I third The Good Wife!

Also Better Call Saul, defo improves as PP said.

SorrelForbes · 27/06/2018 15:00

The Americans and Boardwalk Empire are both brilliant.

I always miss being in the universe of a show when it finishes. I’d love to see a spin off of Mad Women, which would be Peggy and Joan building an agency together. Also, Trudy has to come back into it somehow and Sally comes on board as an intern. I can dream.
