So I'm looking to fill my rental queue on LoveFilm and rather than movies, (which we don't usually have time for except at the weekend) am looking for TV series.

Things we like

West Wing (I actually wanna marry Sam Seaborn [be still my beating heart])
House
Brothers and Sisters
24

Not that keen on CSI, but any others we may have missed?

Thanks all

six feet under - i know its already been mentioned but it really is really good!

Eniddo · 24/10/2008 20:44

the wire

battlestar galactica (mini series and seasons 1 and 2 - others not so good)

entourage seasons 1 and 2

rescue me is quite good

Eniddo · 24/10/2008 20:45

ooh and californication - I loved that

Boco · 24/10/2008 20:45

It HAS to be The Wire. The Wire The Wire The Wire.

I'm halfway through series 4 and it's all all all been fantastic, in fact it just keeps getting better. It's totally addictive. I am obsessed with it. Can you tell? I just want to be natural POH-lice so bad.

spooks

and from a while ago but still fab: cold feet

Habbibu · 24/10/2008 20:47

Ooh - Spiral also good (french - following on ffrom EnidThePonce reminded me!). Not as good as the Wire, mind. There's a thread explaining why it's the best thing ever somewhere.

Habbibu · 24/10/2008 20:48

Boco - we have one episode left to go on series 5 and I am preparing to be bereft. Sheeeeeee....it.

MegBusset · 24/10/2008 20:50

The Wire is all you need.

Habbibu · 24/10/2008 21:00

I had a soft spot for Bodie. In quite a maternal way! But would take Stringer or McNulty. Or Lester Freamon. Or any combination.

EffiePerine · 24/10/2008 21:01

well of course to Omar

Habbibu · 24/10/2008 21:01
