1999 The Sopranos surely?For me, every decade produces a must watch drama on TV. My favourites :
1970s - Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Alec Guinness as George Smiley
1980s - Edge of Darkness, with Bob Peck as D.I. Ronnie Craven
1990s - Prime Suspect (the first, and, best one) with Helen Mirren
2000s - The Wire, The Killing, The Bridge, Line of Duty, Bodyguard, Unforgotten
Our Friends In The North.1999 The Sopranos surely?
Possibly the greatest drama series from the BBC is showing again on BBC4 at 10pm. It includes atmospheric theme music from Eric Clapton.
I did start my post with “for me”. And you’re right the Sopranos is brilliant, so is Breaking Bad. It’s just that I’m highlighting my choice of the absolute best of the best - or, as they say in the Wire, “You feel me.”1999 The Sopranos surely?
Great spot OP! Edge Of Darkness was superbPossibly the greatest drama series from the BBC is showing again on BBC4 at 10pm. It includes atmospheric theme music from Eric Clapton.
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.House of Cards 1990 with Ian Richardson, is a different class

Breaking Bad was epic...Better Call Saul even better IMO.I would add Our Friends in the North to the 90’s.
State Of Play was good.
For me, Northern Exposure is my favourite tv series of all time.
I thought the Sopranos was boring and repetitive.
Binned off Breaking Bad after season 1. Boring.
Loved The Wire.
Loved NYPD Blue.
Quite liked ER for a few seasons.
Cracker was great.
Never really watched Prime Suspect.
Just never clicked with me. I found the first season dull as ditchwater. That was enough for me. I don’t really like Cranston as an actor either.Breaking Bad was epic...Better Call Saul even better IMO.
