I've recently started The Shield but after The Wire find it incredibly unrealistic and stupid. I'll wait till I finish the first season before I make my mind up though.

I watched the first episode, but I was unimpressed.

I wasn't particularly impressed by Sons of Anarchy either, which was created by the same guy I think.

On the comedy front I'd recommend Party Down, a sitcom from Veronica Mars-creator Rob Thomas. And starring (or guest starring) half the cast of VM.

On the drama front, I need some advice. Now that The Wire's finished and there's one episode of Deadwood left on Sky3, I need to start watching something else.

What should I go for, people? The options are these:

Weeds

Oz

Spooks

Mad Men

The Shield

Six Feet Under

I've watched some of the best TV ever over the last year from start to finish, in this order:

 

The Wire

Deadwood (stopped midway Season 2 after I got bored)

The Shield

Entourage

Brotherhood

Rescue me

Shameless (currently on Series 2)

 

Best year of TV I've ever had! Besides The Sopranos & 24, nothing has come close previously! Not sure where to go after Shameless runs out!

If you haven't seen them, I would suggest:

Dexter

Generation Kill

Breaking Bad

Damages

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (seriously)

Veronica Mars

Six Feet Under

Friday Night Lights

Sons of Anarchy

True Blood

Ultraviolet (British show, with a pre-Wire Idris Elba)

LOST and Damages. That's about it. Waiting for Dexter to come back.

Currently watching:

 

Neighbours (Australian Pace)

I think you misread the thread title. Pay particular attention to the second word.
