1. Breaking bad
2. Buffy the vampire slayer
3. Jonthan Creek (earlier ones)
4. Criminal minds
5. Lie to me

I have not seen GOT, or True Detective which I guess would rank highly.

No comedies allowed etc.

You know the kind.

    True Detective
    Line of Duty
    Breaking Bad
    Sherlock
    Soprano's

    Dexter would have been right up there if it wasn't for the last series.

    Fargo also would be in there if I'd seen the whole series, brilliant so far.

    In no particukar order and I'm probably forgetting lots.

    The Street

    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
