Hi,
Almost finished watching The Borgias and so far it's been amazing! I need a new series to watch, I would love something similar so lots of 'intrigue' would be good. Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you.

Gamw of Thrones or The Tudors are ripe with intrigue - Tudors is like Borgias based on real history.
We're obsess with Fringe in Casa WoH right now, full of mytery and wondeful characters (love how Walter walks that line betweeen total monster and frail, broken old man).

Hi,
thanks for the quick reply. I've watched Game of Thrones and loved it. I shall give The Tudors a try. Thanks.

Anyone who hasn't watched Breaking Bad has a hole in their existence.

I've heard Spartacus the TV series is good. It's sort of in the same kind of style as the Borgias, Game of Thrones etc.
Or if your looking for any good show I would recommend Breaking Bad like Sweetpumper brought up. One of my favourite shows. Oz is pretty good too, just watched that again a few weeks ago.

Watched Spartacus and loved it and then when finding more out about it was shocked to see that the lead actor Andy Whitfield had died!!! Poor man, I feel sorry for his family and hope they are doing ok.

Just downloaded Spartacus, Haven't watched it yet. I heard there was a bit of a mix up because the lead character died. Sounds really good though.

Did you spot all the anomalies in the 'Tudors', such as the 1930's central heating radiator and the 18th.Century carriages? It was so historically inaccurate that I suspect Mel Gibson had a hand in writing it!
