What I would describe as a box-set tv series usually Written and created by Americans.

What is your favourite and why?

I mean things like Lost, Prison Break, Breaking bad, and even classics like The Prisoner, all that.

I have recently started watching "Criminal minds" it's brilliant. It can be the same old s""t at times but one episode I believe called "Riding Lighting" was so beautifully written it was gripping.

    Sorry, I just didn't realise that most tv drama series were usually written and created by Americans. My mistake.

    The most famous ones are usually American. It doesn't really matter.

    Used to watch NYPD Blue years ago but then the stories seemed to be gettingmore about the detectives private lives than then investigating crimes.

    YES. Best tv show of all time. You'd love it especially if you enjoyed goodfellas.
