My favourite at the moment, and one of my most favourite ever, is Danish political drama Borgen, shown on BBC4. It doesn't sound very interesting but it's actually quite enthralling and thought-provoking. The third series is being shown at the moment and will be on iplayer, but I'd watch it from the beginning.Quote:

Subtitles don't bother me and thanks for the recommendation!
I'll check it out. thanks for that
Try Hannibal.. that has me thinking a lot.. Really enjoying the series (only shown now in Germany but the DVD is already out).. can be gory in parts but really enjoyable to watch.
this year i thought Bates Motel was an excellent series....
american horror story is good (weird though!) and each season is a different story
older series i am still enjoying are walking dead, supernatural and true blood
on a completely different angle i am really enjoying devious maids. it's a good replacement for desperate housewives
.
Some great suggestions. Really appreciate it!!!
Yes I've really enjoyed Hannibal and Bates Motel this year, too.
Sorry Dave, I am going to hijack your thread for a moment. Can someone give me feedback on Breaking Bad? My friend was on the phone last night asking me to start watching it as she loves it and needs someone to discuss it with. She said it was the best programme she had ever seen!
Scandal is very good
It's an excellent TV programme, definitely amongst the very best I've seen. It's very dark and dramatic, with top-notch acting and writing. It won 10 Emmy Awards including several for Best Actor for Bryan Cranston. Here's a summary from TV.com (mild spoilers!):Quote:

I definitely recommend it :)
Cheers for that Dazzle. Definately looks good. Will give it a go! x
bates motel and broadchurch are good
