For police drama, I have never seen anything better than Line of Duty and Waking The Dead.

Life On Mars... Fantastic acting on display by John Simm and Phillip Glenister.. It was set in 1973 which was the year my Dad joined the Old Bill... He said whoever the advisors were for the show were very good because it was absolutely spot on!!
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Sopranos is the greatest TV show ever made. I watched it when it came out. Watched it again a couple of years later, tried to watch it again a year or so later, but it was too familiar. I heard that the new spin off will have Gandolfinis boy playing the main part , might be b*llocks though.

I loved The Sopranos which just beats The Wire for me. I just finished watching Breaking Bad which I disliked I think the main reason being I did not like any of the main characters. The reason why I love the Sopranos is that even though Tony is a monster you actually like him and many of his crew. The same with The Wire I really liked the young kids dealing drugs on the street and was gutted when then were killed. Odd thing to say I know but that's the power of good drama.

I’ve just started the final series, I’ve enjoyed it, but it needed a bit more violence in my opinion, some episodes I might as well have been watching Dallas More violence, f*cking hell mate. I assume you are joking, if not you might want to move on to snuff movies. Vito was killed and had a wooden pole shoved up his arse. Loads of others killed aswell, but the worst thing I saw was Ralphie getting a dildo shoved up his arse by Janice . There was no need for that.

Tony's sister is a pain in the butt and he has decided for business reason to kill her gangster boyfriend. He never says this but you see it in his face. You can also read that he is dreading the emotional fall out with his sister. He then gets a phone call from Janice she has accidentally killed the guy and wants Tony to cover it up. The look on his face he is practically wetting himself laughing. He has got rid of a rival and earned his sister's gratitude he also gets her to leave town, problem solved. Very funny episode. The other funny episode is the 2 lieutenants lost in the woods, Bear Grylls they are not.
