Help! Recommend a tv show please :-)

I have watched and enjoyed the following so far..

Lost
Game Of Thrones
The Walking Dead
True Blood

I'm just wondering if there are any other similar shows that anyone would recommend I check out as I have now seen every episode available of the ones above! I don't care if they're old etc so long as they're goooood.

I have been tempted to give Sons Of Anarchy a try, does anybody watch that?

The only one I've seen out of those is The Walking Dead, (though I've been meaning to watch Game of Thrones for forever and a day), so I might not be very good at advising something similar, however you said you like some horror themed dramas, so I'm wondering if you've ever watched Supernatural? It's something I would recommend.

Um. Only shows I would recomend are, breaking bad.

Hbo's 'the wire' or 'the sopranos' both these shows you might see a penis, or a woman fully nude, just a fyi. The wire is about maryland crim/drug thing. Its based off a real drug dealer, ends up the drug dealer it was based off of is in the cast too.

Not similar but good shows. They all have all-star casts.

Haven't seen any of the above except a bit of Lost, but House or Big Bang Theory are always a winner in my book.

Thank you for the replies, I'm going to look up the shows mentioned and see if they're my type of thing and then perhaps purchase a season on dvd or something and by that I mean d/l them for free haha.

Currently watching The Office UK, never seen it before and its pretty funny tbh, I'm on season 2 already.. Shame that that is all there is!

Burn Notice is really fun.
Suits was fun for the first season, haven't caught up with it recently.

I loved the GoT book, but the TV series just seems SO sllllllllooooowwwwww that I can't get into it. By the time you watch a handful of episodes, you could have finished the book. You always get less detail out of film, but usually it's at least faster!

Okay I am going to go with big bang theory first as it reminds me of my own life lol. I watched Prison break, it was pretty good, never seen heroes or the majority of shows recommend here so it seems I have plenty to keep myself occupied. By all means keep the suggestions coming people and thank you.

EDIT


Just watched the first episode of The Big Bang Theory and I must say it very funny
