Just finished binge watching the entire FX series "Justified" on Amazon Prime

[Zorro]

Never saw it during when it was originally shown, but it must be one of the most violent, profane series to ever appear on non-subscription cable TV.

I also thought it was brilliantly written and totally absorbing, almost reaching the same level of intensity as "The Shield" (also a former FX offering).

Any other recommended law-and-order type series to watch that come close to matching those two shows?

1. The Wire?

[Zorro]

4. Thanks. Already watched it.

Pretty good show.

[Initech]

2. Breaking Bad of course!

[Zorro]

5. Might have to give that another look

Watched the first couple of seasons and wasn't really getting in to it that much.

3. Firefly, Deadwood

[Zorro]

6. Thanks. Might give Deadwood a try

Timothy Olyphant apparently is in that series, too. Really liked him as the laconic marshall in Justified.

7. Deadwood is brilliant.

You will love it.

[Little Star]

8. Criminal Minds.....

The original (not a spin off). I think they are going into their 12th season this year. Good show if you like law and order type shows which I do.

[Little Star]

9. Suits is another good show but...

not exactly law and order. It's about a law firm. I think they are heading into their 6th season this year. Pretty good show.

[Little Star]

10. Black List is based on FBI....

I think they are going into their 4th season this year. Good show.

11. I came in late for "Justified," saw the last two years.

I'm firmly committed to watching the entire series, from the beginning. I've been told that the third year is particularly good.

[Little Star]

12. Homeland (on Showtime) is....

good. Based on the CIA.

13. been waiting for it to come to netflix

14. Homicide: Life on the Street

My all time favorite cop show. I can't find it anywhere except on Amazon as a boxed set-$399.99. Wish it were on Netflix.

[Iris]

15. I second that one

[irisblue]

17. third-ed.

maybe you can find it @ your library.

16. "The Killling." Dark but excellent. nt
