FabSwingers.com forum: Box sets!

By (user no longer on site) OP

Always get a bit sad when I've watched a box set! Just done Game of thrones from the start and Vikings and now onto Black Sails.

My most enjoyable box set of all was Breaking Bad, I never wanted it to end!

What's been your fave and why?

Breaking bad, because I knew from day 1 that there would be an end, and it was like a train out of control heading for the end.

There and to the left a bit

The Walking Dead up to Series 5 which was watched in about 3 months to catch up before Series 6 started.

Have so many unmatched box sets currently including Black Sails, Soprano, The Wire and Breaking Bad - trouble is keep finding new ones to watch 'live' as they are broadcast.

White collar - broke my heart at the end of that fantastic show. Plus Matt bomer

The main bit I struggle with is when you're looking for something else to watch after and nothing appeals because really you just want MORE - hmm that may be a theme in my life

I'm LOVING mindhunter! Stranger things is good, but the classic box set has got to be The West Wing.

As others have said Black Sails was awesome!

Ozark is decent as well, easy to compare with Breaking Bad but that's not a criticism

I liked Rome and Dexter, and loving Gotham.

Bucking the trend I didn't like Breaking Bad, I watched it all but didn't find it gripping and I thought it just got more and more ridiculous as the show went on.

Yes. Some of the best tv ever produced.

The series with Robert Carlyle in were particularly powerful.

It used to be my ambition to become like Fitz. Overweight, alcoholic, gambling, womanising genius criminal psychologist.

There’s still time.

What I’ve watched so far and would recommend for others to view:-

The Walking Dead - although at Season 8 it’s becoming a bit of a farce in my book.

The Sopranos

Breaking Bad

Narcos

The Wire

Stranger Things

True Decective Season 1 is the best lost it’s way without Mathew McConnaghey and Woody Harleson in the 2nd Season.

Boardwalk Empire

Game of Thornes

Peaky Blinders

Hannibal

Tin Star

The Deuce

House of Cards

Fargo

I got the still game box set for my birthday recently so that's my future viewing sorted. I don't watch much tv so it'll take me forever to work through it.
