They also have the Sopranos at #1. First few seasons were good (but not that good), and it fell off pretty rapidly after that.

Slowly paced? You think so? Start of the first episode he's a mild-mannered science teacher with a wife and two kids. End of the first episode he's standing in the middle of the desert in his underpants, with a gun in his hand, a cop car fast approaching, and two dead Columbian drug dealers in the back of his camper van!

Started watching dexter, is good but i think i'm missing subtitles. Breaking Bad also, only two or three episodes in, has the makings of a good show but it's a bit slowly paced for me.
If you're finding it slow paced now, just wait until it gets boring in the extreme. Which would be most of the second series apart from a run of about three somewhere in the middle.
Utter twaddle
He's making great strides as a character alright, but every scene just seems to drag on forever without much happening, with the odd exception like where the wife confronts the partner, or anything involving the sister. Call me MTV-ized but it'd be great if each episode was half as long and noodly.Slowly paced? You think so? Start of the first episode he's a mild-mannered science teacher with a wife and two kids.

seeing as it's a bit anglocentric, surprised not to see The Long Firm in therehttp://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2010/jan/12/guardian-50-television-dramas
The Wire's at No. 14 and Deadwood or Band Of Brothers don't make the list.
Recently finished watching Season 1 of Party Down - pretty good US comedy series about aspiring\failed actors working for a catering company in LA.. I'm almost certain that it was somebody on here that recommended it. Really strong cast with Martin Starr, Lizzy Caplan, Ken Marino and others. It starts off okay and then really hits its stride around 3 or 4 episodes in.. some streaming links here for anybody interested:

I rewatched Twin Peaks awhile back - I was a bit worried I think it'd be shit now but I still really enjoyed it..
I couldn't really get into Nightstalker - it wasn't terrible though maybe if he wore a powder blue suit and a straw boater i'd of liked it more
anyways its nice to see darren mcgavin digitally superimposed in the first episode!
totally lovin Tarailer Park Boys! i only caught the occasional episode on tv a few years back so its great to have a few seasons worth to plough thru
Yeah that was class....
TPB had me talking in 'Ricky-isms' for months - I even when back to chool to get my grade 11...
