    I've watched all of them other than Entourage and Prison Break.

    I'd recommend Justified (rivals GOT for my favourite show) and Dexter. Or even * on Wheels.

    I've seen the ones in bold. I rewatched season 1 of Prison Break straight after I finished it and I really enjoyed it. Sons is also pretty good from the start when you rewatch it. I didn't enjoy the first 6 episodes or so first time around but I've rewatched the first two and it's enjoyable. A few nods to what happens later in the show that you wouldn't have noticed when you first watched it.

    If I had to choose one to watch over from start to finish it would be Breaking Bad :50:

    I will go back to it pretty soon. I'm just watching The Shield now.. it's an easy watch compared to The Sopranos.

    Won't regret it :50:

    I haven't watched a full show in months now, was on the second season of Mad Men and just lost track but ill get back to that eventually. Gave up on TWD during season four because it was getting *.

    The only thing I've rewatched is Entourage. I think If I were to rewatch one it would either be Breaking Bad or Lost, since they're the ones I've not seen for over a year, the rest are quite fresh in my mind.

    I just downloaded first 3 episode of Justified and Sopranos though, so hopefully one of these will be my type :50:

    I gave up on TWD after about 2.5 seasons

    Have you ever given SOA a go?

    Yeah I loved SOA, I felt the last two seasons let it down a bit though, although both had good endings. I think if it had kept up the quality of the first Five seasons it would have been close to pipping The Sopranos and Breaking Bad as my favourites. That what I loved about those two shows, they were incredible for about 95% of their episodes.

    If Prison Break was only 2 seasons I would probably consider that my favourite too, I think I watched 7 episodes in one sitting of the end of the first season/start of the second :smiley-laughing002: The last two seasons were a slog though.

    I thought it ended very well but Season 7 was probably the second worst season after season 1.. it took about 9 episdoes to get going. I didn't like season 3 either really. The Opie and Pope episode (you know what one) still sticks with me.. It was top class :50:

    Prison Break yeah there's no denying it got progressively worse .. 1>2>3>4.. But I still enjoyed all of it to be honest.

    Breaking Bad I agree. The reason it'd my favourite show ever is because something big happened in almost every single episode. The amount of times I stayed up until 4 or 5 in the mornign watching it because I just couldn't bear to turn it off was unnatural :smiley-laughing002:

    I watched SOA on Netflix so there's a bit of a time gap between when I watched the earlier seasons and the more recent ones, I'm not sure when exactly but it must be two years since I watched seasons 1-4, but I remember around season 3 is when I started to love it. The last episode of that season was my favourite, along with the last one of season 5. I'll probably watch through it all again soon.

    I wish I had more time to rewatch all my favourites and get through all the ones I've been meaning to :smiley-laughing002:

    Been meaning to return to Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire and eventually TWD Just to get it finished.

    Then want to start watching:
    The Wire
    Game of Thrones
    True Detective
    Suits

    Suits is good but not brilliant, I enjoyed season 1 of True Detective and I couldn't get into the Wire.. For what it's worth :smiley-laughing002:

    Finished Scream, there's a couple of boring episodes in the middle but its well worth a watch, a bit like a mixture of the Scream movies and Dexter.

    The wire had about two cliffhangers in 5 seasons. The sopranos was far superior in every way.

    Started watching Luther, pretty good so far Idris Elba is a * brilliant actor.
    Alex Morgan though is weirdly hot for a psycho.

    Have got back into Mad Men, it really is a brilliant show when you get into it. Nearly finished season 2 and should fly through it over Christmas.

    That's my problem - getting into it. Think I've finished season 3 or 4, but it's not a show that I think 'oh I can't wait to get back into that'.

    When it's good, it's great. But the thought of it is off putting at times.
