Default Can someone please recommend a good tv boxset?
I feel a bit down so would like to treat myself when I get paid on the 28th. Presuming the sales will still be on?

I love things like Prison Break and 24. Anything like that would be great.

I've heard of Homeland. Is that any good?

Want to see if I can pick up a bargain.

Watch everything on line.

Dexter is definitely worth a watch.

Battlestar Galactica (the 2003 version). It's a great war-drama type thing. The whole show is fantastic.

You don't have to buy it though like Jesus said. I could give you links to watch it online if you liked.

I like The Vampire Diaries at the moment. I've been watching it since it started. Damon is the funniest character ever! He's got all the best lines!

You're obsessed with hollyoaks, which renders your opinion worthless when it comes to programme recommendations.

Everyone is entitled to have an opinion in here. It's a forum.

Homeland is great, Dexter is one of the finest series ever made of course, and the Sopranos was absolutely brilliant. I liked the Sherlock series with Benedict Cumberbatch too, well worth a watch if you've not already seen it.

Most similar to the style of 24 and Prison Break is probably the early seasons of Lost.

if you like 24 and Prison Break, then probably Homeland, Lost or The Wire.
