- The original (British) version of House of Cards, although the current American version on Netflix comes very close.
Having watched the American H o C a few months ago, I found the 3rd series is out on Netflix from 27th Feb, so I watched the English version over the last week - very little to choose between them, both excellent and looking forward to 3rd series of the American one.

Breaking Bad was brilliant and I'll definitely watch Better call Saul, but I would personally put The Wire above BB. I have recently watched Season 1 of the Sopranos and it got better as it went on, only another 6 seasons left to watch in the boxset, thoroughly enjoyed it so far.

I don't even know what House of Cards is!!! Imma call Saul!

It's a Netflix original, rather good too.

Agree with the previous comments that Breaking Bad was totally brilliant, and Better Call Saul looks very promising. Some other historical dramas that I would put into the same category of brilliance as BB, and that I regularly re-watch include...

- Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
- Edge of Darkness
- The Lakes
- The original (British) version of House of Cards, although the current American version on Netflix comes very close.
Bought the original john le carres with Alec Guiness - Brilliant. And the original House of Cards is excellent.

I liked it, i think it'll build.

Breaking bad and the Sopranos , which one is my favorite? couldn't choose even if I had to ...
My recollection of Breaking Bad is of a first series that was essentially "problem of the week" type episodes - it got *really* good in the second series on, imo.

I'm enjoying Better Call Saul though - some nice shades to his character being shown in the episodes I've seen so far. There's also an "Insider" podcast available, like for the later seasons of BB.
