Just my opinion of course hehe

Anyone else watching it? We're at the last episode of Series 4 (purchased in the US). Just truly great stuff.

Need some recommendations for a replacement. Any ideas?

Already watched-
The West Wing
Dexter
Breaking Bad
The Wire
The Shield
Damages

Cheers!

Watched The Wire already and found Entourage pretty good but haven't seen it past Series 3. Any other suggestions?

I've just started watching Nikita which is good so far. I've also been told that The Event is very good although I've not started that yet. Will report back when I do.

Will look up Damages too, as you seem to like the sort of thing I do.

I have recommended this before, and someone at the time mentioned it was by the same people who bought us the wire.
Sadly it's only 6 episodes though. It's called The Corner. I thought it was truly excellent.

I still haven't seen The Sopranos or The Wire yet either. paperbag I just run out of time.

Oh, and have we mentioned Boston Legal yet? One of the best series since The West Wing and The Shield...

ETA: Oh, and I really like Lie To Me as well. Tim Roth is very good in it, although I'm convinced he's slowly turning into Cpt. Jack Sparrow. hehe

I was annoyed when Firefly got canned. It was superb, and the film was only scant compensation.

Another vote for Sons of Anarchy. Really good show with some superb actors and great story lines.

It's only just come out in Singapore, but looks good from what I've seen of it - certainly makes you think a lot!
