One of the actors in The Wire, Idris Elba (Stringer Bell), was the last occupant of the house I'm living in in Toronto. I am in love with him so I feel like I'm the ultimate celeb stalker now!!

I'm not a fan of zombie stuff normally, but The Walking Dead is an amazing show too.

If you can view UK TV programs...I recommend Scott and Bailey. Police duo...the second series has just finished.

I know Idris. I'll be seeing him in August at a wedding funnily enough. If I remember I'll mention this

Really????? My friends back home are very jealous that I'm sleeping in the bed he slept in every night! Tell him he left some CDs here and also I polished off some Fortnum and Mason chocs he left here.

Not knocking him at all but he was only in the early seasons. I thought The Wire got better and better as it went on.

Oldie, but a goodie, Foyle's War, well written and well acted. I must admit I have a slight bias as I love Michael Kitchen.

I've never seen it but I loved him in Luther.

Euphemism....you polished off chocolates he left behind?

Just saying

Sadly, there is no euphemism and it was just some chocolates.

I liked Scott and Bailey. Also like some of the 3-4 part series they have on iplayer like The Syndicate etc. Can't beat a good British drama.

How cool!

The Syndicate was brilliant...anything starring Timothy Spall is good IMO. A second series is being made. He was is a series called The Street a few years ago...another good gritty UK TV drama. Just like The Syndicate...every episode revolved around a character or family that lived in The Street. Although I enjoy a lot of US TV series...there is nothing to compare to a UK TV drama.

We discuss UK TV programs in the UK Nova thread in the Trailer Park forum if you're interested.
