    Far too many over the past 40 years.

    Whatever they are, they would be all British made.

    1. The Sopranos (if this isn't everyones number one they either haven't seen it or need to watch it again)
    2. The Wire









    3. Boardwalk Empire

    4. Mad Men
    5. Game of Thrones

    Not really a fan of the faster paced, flash in the pan series like Breaking Bad which are gonna get dated very quickly, Game of Thrones does what it does very well though.

    Silent Witness
    The Wire
    Luther
    Dr Who
    Shameless Twin Peaks

    American - glossy and visually brilliant
    English - streets ahead on the actual drama

    Lynch - great balance of the two

    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

    Never saw Mad Men but like the rest. I'd add Bodies, This Life, The Lakes, Dr Kildare and anything with David Morrisey. The Wire top. Can't pick the rest.
