The original BBC Law & Order was groundbreaking in its day (late 1970s).

Our Friends In The North was good too. (Nineties if I recall.)

It was very good.

The Sopranos is the ultimate TV drama series.
Mad Men is excellent – everything was period-perfect, from the costumes, to the watches, to the decor, to the societal culture. The Walking Dead is also very good, but only from seasons 1–3. If you enjoy sci-fi, I recommend UFO and V.

I started SoA again
I have greatest respect for Rugby Union, they started it mid-way through the 19th century. Thankfully we grabbed it and turned it into a spectacle on 29th August 1895

It is probably the best TV drama series I have ever seen.

Is there any better than this?

No, nothing better.

The Sopranos is perfect; a work of art in its own right:

You didn't miss anything. Did you get as far as when they came to Belfast?

That ended as badly as you might imagine. It was rapidly downhill from then on.
