The West Wing

Not to pile on the bandwagon, but it's on my list to binge as well. Maybe I'll start it next week when I have to fly to DC again.
@andyd do you mean House or House of Cards? The latter I heard is amazing, but of course falls apart when Spacey is canceled. Not sure I want to invest time in a show that ends like that.

@andyd I see clips from House, it always seems interesting. Don't google a picture of what he looks like today, I believe he has aged or become ill or something. Unless it was fake, it was a bit sad. Anyway... I've always had a bit of an urge to binge ER one day, it seems like a show that really changed TV to an extent.
If anyone cares, and I know @george-k would... my favorite TV show of all time is The Shield. I plan to binge The Wire one day too, I've heard that it's ranked (along with Breaking Bad) as the best series of all.

I put off watching that for years, and then absolutely loved it. Dominic West was so convincing as an American cop that I didn't realise it was the same bloke that normally plays posh English blokes until about the third episode.

I watched the first season of the wire and liked it. Then the second the show completely changed. They may have well renamed it. It was probably still good but I stopped watching for whatever reason.
I’ve still only ever binged two shows, both were in the days where Netflix would mail you the DVDs…
(Sopranos and Six Feet Under)

Every season is a new story focused on a new aspect of crime or law enforcement or media in Baltimore. I recall liking some seasons much more than others. Like a lot of people, I thought Omar was the most fun. He was also the least realistic character. More of a superhero. I guess that makes my tastes banal.
