pamparius Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 seeing as we all virtually agreed the original poll thread left out all the good stuff. here's another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel15 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Can't choose between The Wire & 24. No Heroes? While on the subject of The Wire, I had no idea that Stringer Bell was English, his normal voice sounds very English aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Lost. Does that count as a drama or is it Sci-fi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted September 8, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2008 The wire, by a mile the best thing that's ever been on the telly, ever, in the whole history of telly. Not a single bad episode in 6 series - 24 had a duff series or two, but was a terrific idea and format. Stringer Bell and Jimmy McNulty are both played by English actors.

kurtsimonw Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 24 by a distance, can't even think of any drama that comes anywhere near to being close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 8, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2008 I went for 24, again. I agree Lost and Heroes should be on here. Especially as Lost was winning the other poll! But 24 is the best, although I haven't seen this Wire malarky, I may have to get involved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I was a huge 24 fan, but the last two to three series just got more daft and full of plot holes as they went on. I love Lost, but sometimes it gets frustrating, so on the whole I'm going to plump for Heroes which both the wife and I really enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 i know who shot nathan petrelli! personally i think the sopranos is the best thing that has ever been on tv, but the shield is very very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sopraonos by a fair distance for me. Second would be The Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I watch and like most of those. But the Sopranos win by a huge distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Close call between The Sopranos & 24 for me, with Jack just winning the day. I thought The West Wing was some show as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Just finished watching The Wire season Two........excellent stuff. Shame The Greek and Spiros got away though, I hope they turn up in later seasons. Strangely enough Ziggy Sobotka reminded me of a friend also called Ziggy who is now deceased :-( I should have Season Three in about, oh......12 hours ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa_Rosa Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Now you're talking. The Wire. Best thing to have ever been on television. Got the 2 hour finale on my Sky+ and can't bring myself to watch it, as it will mean the end. Sopranos (a distant) second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
