I've just finished Game Of Thrones and Orange Is The Black, and seeing as Breaking Bad will conclude by the end of the month I'm going to need a new series to get my teeth in to. Any recommendations?

I'm thinking Mad Men or Dexter as they're both on Netflix, but am open to some other suggestions.

Could always try The Wire. See so many good comments about it. Under The Dome is a decent show too

Sopranos and The Wire are the obvious choices.

Re-watching the Wire at the moment. Breaking Bad is absolute nowhere near.

What is The Wire actually about? Never watched it but keep planning to

It follows police and drug dealers in Baltimore. But boiling it down to that is doing it a massive disservice. It speaks a lot about modern society, greed, power, etc. etc.

Is Girls worth a watch as well?

Looking for something a little more light-hearted alongside The Wire/ The Sopranos etc.

We made an episode of The League that's entirely about Dirty Randy and Raffi. It airs this week. It's completely insane.

Should be great. Two of the best characters on show

Just started watching Orange Is the New Black on Netflix after a second run-through of House of Cards and all I've got so far (almost finished the first episode) is boobs and lesbians.

You can expect more of that in the rest of the series

It's pretty good. Not brilliant, but worth a watch at least.

I've got nothing else to do on a Sunday so I thought why not, it is a good time killer.

Been meaning to get round to that. I loved Van Zandt in The Sopranos and I'm huge Springsteen as well.

Worth a watch?

Definitely, though much of its culture-clash humour (which is the main strength of the show) works better if you have prior knowledge of Scandinavian society.

The later half of the current season of Boardwalk Empire is fucking awesome.

Oh, and Michael Shannon is the best.

I've seen it. Enjoyably dreadful pish.

Quite excited for season 2 tbh.

I like how several episodes are dedicated to a love triangle between very minor characters. And whether those two who pretended to be gay, are actually gay. plot twist.

And when like Nevermore or something is written somewhere, and Bacon is like - THAT'S POE!!!
