On a money saving note you can rent these cheaply from the library :-)

We have a Tesco DVD rental subscription (think we pay £12 a month to have 2 DVDs at a time) and tend to rent our way through box sets of TV shows (as well as films) via it a lot. Because we're not after the brand new mega releases we tend to get box sets quite quickly and they do manage to send one disc in a set, followed in the correct order by the others fairly quickly. Think we're currently up to about series 4 of Lost which is STILL making naff all sense!

Deadwood is good (especially if you were ever a Young Guns film fan/modern made westerns) Also another vote for Prisonbreak, Bones, CSI (vegas, miami or new york) NCIS, Criminal minds, Numbers ... I like crime based series! Lie to me was also quite good.
DH liked Carnival but I just couldn't get into it.

The Street is probably the best British TV series ever. An absolute bargain for £16 - it's £32 on Play!

I agree, this is brilliant

'White Collar' about an FBI agent and his criminal informant is well worth a look and has just finished its second season in the US. It's a little more light-hearted than some of the other shows people have mentioned, but is worth it for Neal Caffrey's gorgeous face alone!

As for this, don't get too attached, afraid it's been cancelled after one season in the US. Although I believe it's being shopped around other networks just in case someone takes pity on it...

Aye, I heard. Ahh well...

On the plus side, for me at least, Boardwalk Empire, Blue Bloods and Game of Thrones all got renewed. :j

I have liked similar to you and could suggest the following:

Upstairs Downstairs
House of Eliott
Family at War
Secret Army.

If you go to Amazon and type in the above it suggests others you may like. Hope this helps

I have bought some of the boxsets of the foreign dramas that BBC4 have been showing. I don't usually buy boxsets which shows how impressed I was by them. The Killing is sensational and I love the Swedish Wallander. I am currently working my way through Spiral thanks to my lovefilm subscription.

Sons of Anarchy! (Think I've previously ranted about how good this is on here!)

I love loads of the shows already mentioned (Dexter, True Blood, Breaking Bad) but was blown away by Sons of Anarchy.

The Wire, Broadwalk Empire, The Thick Of It.
