What is the best TV series box set

Posted by: Rockingdoc on 23 June 2010

I find great pleasure these days from long sessions watching complete sets of TV series which I have missed or overlooked. The complete Sopranos and The Wire won me over to this new way of watching, followed by West Wing. This has completely cured me of the real time waster of watching some rubbish program, just because it is on. My current favourite is Spooks, and I'm about to embark on the complete 24. I tried Lost, but didn't like it.
Any suggestions for TV box sets we should all investigate?
I got the Buffy suggestion in the other thread, but might wait until it drops below 100 quid.

p.s. I also have the complete Gerry Anderson and Roberta Leigh, but let's not go there.

British who-dun-its work for me:

Inspector Morse
Inspector Lewis
The Last Detective (Dangerous Davies)
Midsomer Murders
Rebus
Messiah
The Vice
Dalziel and Pascoe
Taggert
Poirot

Also thought Wallander was well done.

Onto series four now. Well written, quick, and the acting is top class proffessional.

Really liked Life on Mars. Very un-PC.
