1 - Oz
2 - Babylon 5 ( Series 5 hard to get over though)
3 - 24
4 - House
5 - Dexter ( maybe not best but I am really hooked)

Thinking Game Of Thrones will be epic when its all said and done.

Nothing beats Lost for that. And 24.

Lost is a bit mental, though. =P

Seen both and enjoyed Both….. Lost was quite possibly the biggest EVER let down in a series, I swear when they found that Hatch in season 1 I nearly pooped my pants with excitement.

I only got to series 4 with 24, going to defiantly start that again. I’ve been looking for something to watch with the misses.

1. Breaking Bad
2. Band of Brothers
3. The Sopranos
4. The Office (US)
5. 24

They're my favourites anyway, I would've put Romanzo Criminale in too but I haven't seen enough of it. I enjoyed Sons of Anarchy too but not as much as the above 5.

Tough one this. I've always been more into one off dramas (BBC / ITV) than seasonal programs. American dramas just go on and on until the point I beleive that even the production team have lost the plot.

The only must watches

24.. 1 - 7
Prison break
Heroes

I'm quite enjoying the new Endeavour
