stumbled across the "American Horror Show" by chance a couple of weeks back... now completely hooked on it... great tv series.

I've been watching Southland a bit of late. It's not quite as good as The Wire or The Shield, but it's a very good cop drama nonetheless

Speaking of the Wire, Idris Elba's new show Luther is actually pretty good, this was shocking as FOTM was the one who recommended it. Definitely no The Wire though. The Wire was far more realistic.

Having worked as a journo for 2 years I can vouch for how realistic the News Room was in season 5.

I always preferred The Shield to The Wire, not sure why. But The Wire is still one of my all time favourites

Chuck. Its one everyone in the house likes. And Psych. Sanctuary is more addictive than it has any right to be, so is Primeval.

Also Fringe, Haven, Warehouse 13 - all good and not "well known".

Spartacus. Probably one of the best TV shows I have ever laid my eyes on. Brutal Violence + Borderline pornography sometimes the brutal violence takes place during the borderline pornography. Like in the first episode of Spartacus Vengeance when they when to the whore house and killed all the men.

The Shield was a poor man's The Wire imo
I did enjoy The Shield (just smashed through the 7 seasons within the last month or so) but nothing comes close to The Wire in that genre

Agree on Trailer Park Boys, didn't sound too good when someone recomended it but I really enjoyed it

Me, too. I love The Wire, but The Shield...The Shield was phenomenal....

On topic, I was pleasantly surprised by the show The League. Freaking hilarious.
