I have a window of opportunity now that Breaking Bad has finished...and Im looking for a quality Drama to get infatuated with

You should watch the French police drama Spiral (if you haven't already). I watched it start to finish over the last ten days and it is one of the best series to ever grace the TV.

I'm now moving on to The Killing (original flavour).

Game Of Thrones, Homeland, Person of Interest, and Once Upon a Time are the best on at the minute in my opinion. There are Lost references in every single episode of Once Upon a Time, too.

Will be watching Alcatraz when it starts, and will give Touch a go for Kiefer Sutherland.

If you haven't watched it already, I suggest you get to watching Breaking Bad. Forget people saying that The Wire is the best thing in the history of TV. Breaking Bad tops it by a long shot. It's 100 times more original, and far less cliché'd. Of course, this is all my opinion.

How can you call The Wire cliched?

Breaking Bad is class though.

Looks like a Nicholas Cage movie without the horse. Could go either way. Will be disappointing not to have Kiefer torture anyone mind.

I trust the King, but if we lose a few more on the trot now - he may have to step aside, and we have to purchase another manager in the middle of the season. If we are relegated, this could be the end of our ambitions to win any title the next 100 years.

You won't be able to stop watching. That's the only downside of it all. You'll put on the first series and just power through hours of it.

24 is incredibly addictive. My record was watching five episodes in one sitting, 43 minutes each, 3 hours 35 minutes in all.
I kept waiting for an episode to finish without a cliffhanger.

The Wire is just a very good good guys Vs bad guys cops/robbers/drug dealers drama that's been done - albeit in different styles - too many times throughout the years to count. I thought it was good, but I still believe it's extremely overrated. Breaking Bad is just different, and what's ironic is that it contains all the elements I aforementionedly listed that make The Wire so cliche.

If you thought The Wire was about good guys and bad guys you missed the point completely... by a country mile... and a bit more... and then some more... and a bit more yet... plus an inch...

It is a film, well two films.  I bought the DVD a couple of months ago and it has both parts.  It is superb though.
