Oh, I got your present - thank you! I have the wrapped one under the tree.
Agree on Dowton Abbey...and Misfits (although Misfits was technically 2010, and Dowton aired in 2010...). Dexter? I didn't like S5 that much. I think me and Dexter are parting ways. ;-)
The Wire? It's very grim and dark and violent, very noir. But it does have some amazing episodes and may well be the best social criticism I've seen. S3 and S4 are amazing in that respect. I couldn't watch it right now. Too grim, need light and fluffy (hence the romance novels.) Actually watching Game of Thrones, The Wire, Dexter, and Fringe...as well as the first Season of Breaking Bad and Girl with Dragoon Tatoo...plus reading all those violent books - may well be why I can't handle any more of it now. Ugh. Must learn not to binge on one genre (says the woman who has just read ten romance novels in the space of three weeks.)
