TV Box Sets recommendations

I've been talking about the 6-season Breaking Bad on another thread and how it was a fantastic series. I have the lot on DVD and have just watched the entire run a second time.

This brings me to asking if anyone else watches these full series of TV shows, either via Sky Netflix, or buys the physical item on DVD/Blu-Ray? Can you recommend any which you have enjoyed...or any you didn't?

Apart from Breaking Bad, in the past couple of years I have also enjoyed watching:
The Sopranos
The Wire
Luther
Six Feet Under
Dexter

I'm looking at buying Sons Of Anarchy next.

Please NO SPOLIERS here. We don't want to discuss plots or endings, just a basic storyline. Thanks

I've no idea how anyone can binge watch television, an hour a day plus the news is more than enough for me at anytime...

We don't have tv at the caravan Barry so we take DVDs to watch in the evenings when it's too late to be in the garden.
