    Don't forget the Shield. And I would say The Wire, The Office, and The X Files. But there is only one Binge King:

    Twin Peaks. It's only two quick seasons, very doable, and thrilling.

    "Should we go outside and walk on the beach?"

    "No, go put in another episode of 24."

    I binge watched Battlestar Galactica during the last 2 weeks of my amazon prime trial. I got so wrapped up in it that I forgot to cancel and now I'm down 100$ because of that frakkin series.

    Friday Night Lights is a really good one too. I don't think Breaking Bad was as good to binge watch because of how long it took to ramp up, though each season finale was so damn good you'd just want to get to the finish.

    Anything on Netflix that is as underrated as Prison Break? I randomly stumbled upon it and thought it was great.

    I just started the sopranos. I know a little late but its got me hooked. Bad acting in the first season but second season takes off with more action and a whole lot better acting.

    A big fan of Prison Break. Too bad it didn't last long enough. (that's what she said ) ;)

    I broke my binge virginity to it. Nothing like the first...which also happens to be the best in this case.

    It had 80+ episodes - I thought it was enough (but the ending sucked)

    I watched 5 seasons of The Wire in one week, while I was sick in bed. Well, I was really only sick for 3 days, but then the weekend happened.

    ...I don't watch new shows until friends (like cfnet friends) tell me to. I don't think I've ever watched a premier on its release.

    I rely on you guys to tell me what to watch...and TV is so loaded, we are always in catch-up mode. No need to watch s01e01 premieres, when another cfnetter is for you.

    I love these threads for the info from ppl we know,,,whose taste we know. Much better than any other review sites, when you know the reviewer's tastes, like we do here.

    I like Suits the best out of those four.
    Orphan Black next.

    Suits characters just grow on you. Don't get Litt up!

    Fargo is good show but too much in infancy to binge yet.

    ok, here's my first recommendation to you. :)

    Watch the first episode of Suits, and let us know what you think.

    That's all I ask.

    right on.

    The thing about Suits ... it has very prominent female roles. That is rare. They all rock

    I'm getting Litt up, right now.

    You guys have a point, its not fair to judge a show you haven't watched yet. I'll give the first episode of Suits a try tomorrow.
