"I watched the first few episodes of SoA. I found them poorly written and badly acted.
The dialogue doesn't work, it isn't written like something someone would actually say."
That and other similar comments (on top of the variable Amazon reviews) have decided it for me....it's a no buy set, thanks guys for that, you have saved me a few bob.
Seanv, I did look up Dexter earlier in the day and it certainly sounds like it might be a good choice so that is one I shall seriously consider, thanks buddy.

I watched SOA live, but would never buy the box set or recommend anyone else do so. The Shield is a favorite.
Obviously, you have internet. Why don't you stream all of these vs buying the DVD s?
Shameless is awesome, especially the earlier seasons. Been watching the UK version on Amazon and that’s good too.
I'll add Chicago Fire to the list of must see TV...actually only Season 2, Episode 7 ("No Regrets") is must see TV.
Why? Because it was filmed about 10 minutes from our house and my wife I were extras. We played injured train passengers. We were on the set 9-10 hours a day for four days and ended up with about 1 minute of screen time.
It was really interesting to see the whole production of a program. We had to check-in at 6 AM, go to wardrobe and change our clothes, go to make-up for our injuries/wounds and sit around between scenes until they called for the extras. The catered breakfasts and lunches were good and it was a fun experience.

I tried to watch "The Killing" and it just didn't hold my interest in the opening episodes. Perhaps I'll revisit it.
Here is the Netflix link:

Seattle homicide detectives Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder are deeply affected by the murders they investigate in this dark, acclaimed crime series.

Hoosier, to do so would mean signing up to one or more streaming services but I watch so little TV and there being only me in the house it is cheaper for me to purchase anything I wish to watch on DVD, hence my asking the forum's recommendations before I put my hand in my pocket.

The DVD is already turning into the Laserdisc of tomorrow.
I didn’t even know things came out on DVD anymore? Just Blu Ray and digital.
Well guys I just bought the Sopranos box set and Dexter box set. I'm still pondering on The Wire.
Thanks for all your tips fellas, much appreciated ?

To keep my joints functioning, I don't think I can binge watch anything, but I have to admit, The Sons of Anarchy is an evocative name ... it brings to mind potential jokes about them being the Boy Scouts or an honorary fraternity for accounting students. (No rap on the Boy Scouts ... my dad was a Life Scout, and I was a failed Cub Scout but had a good time).
Sopranos was the best for me.I believe I have watched that series 4 times. Band of Brothers I have also watched several times.
Surprised no one has mentioned Rescue Me, another great series.

I just bought Generation Kill box set and Over There box set. Heard of neither but both have good reviews.
"Better Call Saul" is really good."
Loren, I really wanted to buy that set but alas can only get seasons 1 to 3 as a set, I want the whole 5. That said, if I wait long enough the proposed (but halted) series 6 will appear in a complete box set one day.
Also got the entire Line Of Duty set arriving today. Not sure if that made it across the pond but it's a terrific British series about an anti police corruption squad.
