Please help me choose a box set...

[Littledawley]

We are just in the process or re-watching the fantastic 'West Wing' and would like a new box set to get into. DH and I both enjoy CSI, Lost and watched the first 2 series of 24.
Can anyone suggest a new series for us? Ta

how much bof? we have them off torrents friend of a friend gave them to us but dp would love the whole lot in cold hard dvd form.

I got DH Mad Men because we too have never found anything to live up to the glory days of the West Wing on DVD. It's pretty good!

I thought fifty quid inc postage would be reasonable? They seem to go for about seventy on ebay, but I have only checked once this week, so let me know if you think it should be cheaper? I paid £150 for them new last Christmas from HMV when they were on offer.

I fancy Mad Men actually- I caught a couple and it looked brilliant.

will mail you bof.

i tried soooo hard to like mad men - had been so excited by the trailers months before it started but in the end it just didn't work for me, for some reason. maybe not funny enough - what i love about the sopranos is how deftly they handle the mix of drama and comedy.

Oh, I think the Sopranos was completely superb. We must have watched an episode or two a night for about six months!

bof you have mail from a veryplushcreature

Gotcha

Spooks, all the way from its rather gory start !

The Wire pisses all over any other series.

Spooks for sure

True Blood

I could never get to grips with the accent in The Wire- I did try

I've really enjoyed 'Big Love', the HBO series about modern day mormon polygamists. so much so that I had to get series 2 as a French import because they still haven't released it here and I couldn't wait

My best ever were The Sopranos and Six Feet Under so you'd probably like it if you were into either of those.

Oh, and if you're into a bit of nineties nostalgia, I recently got really hooked on 'my so called life' which got released on dvd recently. Really really good, much better than I remembered and far more 'quality' than other teen dramas since, imho.

I love box sets!

Ahem, the West Wing is simply the best. Have you seen Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip? Not nearly as good but a useful way to get through the mourning period once WW is over.

Would second whoever said Rome 1&2 - fantastic stuff.

The Wire - Fantastic. Although give it a couple of episodes before you get really hooked. We're only just working our way through it now - nearly finished S3. S2 has been my favourite so far - found alot more humour in it than in the other seasons I've seen.

Subtitles, Bof, subtitles!!

sitc and prison break are fab

Brothers and Sisters, just love it. Not as flashy as your other american series, but doesn't need a fake 'situation' to set the context - it's just a big complex family.

i forget about B&S - that was fab as well

ER or Gray's Anatomy
