1. Edge of Darkness 2. Mad Men 3. G.B.H. 4. Borgen 5. The Bridge
Difficult not to include The Killing, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (esp. the first 90's re-incarnation), Boys from the Blackstuff, Our Friends in the North, State of Play, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, House of Cards (the UK version), and Spiral
Game of Thrones The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes ( Jeremy Brett) Spooks Hustle Being Human
Honorable mentions for Tinker Tailor ( Alec Guiness et al) and House of Cards (British)
Can't cope with Auf Wiedersehn Pet or the current Sherlock as they feel more like Comedy than drama and also Martin Freeman has to be the single worst actor in history. He runs the whole gamut of emotion from a-b wit

Would have voted for 'Murder In Mind' but it felt like a wasted vote.

State of Play
I also like Mad Men, The Company (three episode mini-series) and early seasons of Grey's Anatomy, but not as much as I do the above five.
I withdraw my submission based on loyalty to the list man!!

If Fargo was finished it would replace one of the above.
