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.

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.

Of course, I haven't tried to prevent you from expressing your opinion, I just said that it's worthless when it comes to TV recommendations.

Not really. You just don't like Hollyoaks. But other people do. Stop having a go at me just because i'm a fan.

Having a go at you? Stop taking things so personally.

Your opinion on TV shows. Not life or love, but on TV show recommendations. If you feel personally attacked when someone makes a tongue-in-cheek remark about your viewing habits, then daily life must be a real grind for you.

And posting my avatar on the chat thread is also a joke for you i suppose. But you only do these things with me. Funny that.

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.
