The wire
Sopranos
Rescue me
Studio 60
Lost

I'm working my way through Sons of anarchy right now and I love it. Just did season 1 of 30 rock and I'm waiting for more to download, I've got Firefly to watch next, but then I'm all out of stuff to watch. Recommend me more good tv please.

Alt Q: What's the last text you sent and received?

The original 2 mini series are still two of my favourite things ever.

The subsequent TV series was shit though.

Is the mad psycho woman in it the same person that was Miles' flaky girlfriend Delilah in This Life?

There are a certain stock phrases that you'll hear in an episode of EastEnders about half a dozen times. Since they last half an hour, that's a startling lack of originality, and also the quickest drinking game ever.

All good choices
Like everyone else who has persisted with The Wire I love it. The Sopranos I keep meaning to devote some time to retrying sometime soon but I did enjoy the first two seasons. Rescue Me tucking rocks, and so does Studio 60. Lost I gave up on at 1x05 and having heard the conclusion summary TH that Lampito linked to.it sounds like I didn't miss anything & 24 I lost track of round about 3x12 but am planning a week or two to catch up sometime soon.

Both SOA and 30 Rock are excellent and highly recommended, if you end up enjoying SOA then I would highly recommend The Shield which is by the same writer and thoroughly enjoyable.
