If you're looking for a great drama, there's plenty out there from the last few years for you to sink your teeth into.
Breaking Bad - the best drama on telly. Heart-attack inducing tension, superbly acted.
Justified - the coolest show on TV. Based on an Elmore Leonard short story, so no surprise the dialogue is fantastic with some great characters.
Chuck - my favourite show. Light-weight in comparison to the other dramas here, but it's just so much fun. Just finished its fifth and final season in the US.
Friday Night Lights - far more than a high-school drama about an American Football team. Heart-breaking.
Honourable mentions to Homeland and Game Of Thrones, the two best new shows of 2011. Loved Borgen also.
And if you're looking for something a little further back: Deadwood, BSG, Mad Men.
If you're looking for a great comedy, look no further than Parks & Recreation, Community or Louie.
Real shame you couldn't get into The West Wing. That and The Wire top my best drama ever list.
Breaking bad, great watching stopped watching after season 1 lost interest, but decided to give it another shot, it's great.
Justified, Highly recommend this, some great lines in it, good stories.
Chuck, I got bored with after season 3 or 4 started out interesting and fun.
Friday Night Lights, not watched, not really interested in it.
Homeland, Game of Thrones, sheer awesomeness.
Agree with others who have recommended Awake, really liking this. Touch, I'm not sure about.
Other stuff I'm watching, Person of Interest and Archer.
Person of Interest is good, vigilante big brother stuff.
Archer is...... Archer, Secret Agent spoof, lots of sarcasm, just read the thread, it's truly wonderful TV.
