Much better than the Mel Gibson movie of the same name

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
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

How bizarre ... I was clearing out some stuff last week and found a VHS cassette of the first couple of episodes. Thought I'd like to see it again but didn't have a) the other tape b) anything to play it on.

1970's: I, Claudius.
Brilliantly done with a magnificent cast. Available on Britbox

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.”

You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
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.

Breaking Bad was epic...Better Call Saul even better IMO.
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.
It was brilliant.
Plus:
1980’s - Monocled Mutineer, Harry’s Game, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
1990’s - Morse
2010’s - The Americans, Bosch, Ozark, House of Cards (US], Any Human Heart,

I must admit I forgot the Monocled Mutineer and Morse - both top notch.
