Telly addicts

I need an amazing, epic TV drama series I haven’t seen...

We are officially telly addicts and I think we’ve seen most things at this point. I’m worried there are no amazing, undiscovered things left and I’m really in need of something brilliant, multiple series etc.

Favourite series are The Shield, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Better Call Saul

We’ve seen most of the well known things I can think of (Mad Men, Sons Of Anarachy, ER, Halt and Catch Fire, Handmaids Tale all watched quite recently) and we’ve seen so much over the years I think we’ve bled TV dramas dry.

We have Netflix and prime but happy to get hold of other stuff too.

What’s amazing that you’ve seen and is maybe not quite as well known? I’ve heard Justified is good, anyone seen it?

The two big series I can think of that we haven’t watched fully are The Sopranos and West Wing - is West Wing a bit dated now? We did watch the first season or so of the Sopranos when Sky Atlantic started but then we stopped having Sky so it fell off the radar.

My first thought on reading your OP was 'Designated Survivor'. As you mentioned having Netflix, give it a go, it's great!

The Leftovers is really good. Fantastic acting. Great soundtrack. Epic stuff.

And Better Call Saul is back on!

If you like grimy, ott historical dramas and Tom Hardy grunting in a top hat, try Taboo.

The Italian one, subtitled - gamorra is brilliant. Italian mafia/drugs/gang warfare but great plot and many twists and turns

I can't recommend The Leftovers highly enough! It is truly epic - and just gets better and better through the seasons. It has JustinTheroux unit and is about grief/love/cults/ - it's just brilliant.

I also love The Affair and 6 feet under.

Game of a Thrones is a must!
There's a good drama on at the moment. Think it's called Keeping Faith. It's on Thursday nights but you catch up with it on iplayer. I'm really enjoying it.

Edge of Darkness - made in 1985 but still astonishingly good.

Another vote here for Deutschland 83, Grey’s Anatomy and The Sinner.
A lighter prog is The Bold Type.
A random Programme I like is Unreal - about a Bachelor type reality show and the dark twisty stuff that goes on behind the scenes.
