+1. Certainly is a great show, only I'd rank both The Wire and Breaking Bad ahead of it.
Just got caught up on it. Best drama I have seen since the Wire (that includes Breaking Bad and Boardwalk Empire)
A smarter 24 - great characters, great plot.
Has the same actor who played Winters on Band of Brothers as the main character.

Can't recommend it enough.

maybe a little, but that's not saying much...
Showrunners actually worked on 24 so the comparisons are there. Lately I've been finding the show more and more unbelievable but if you are willing to accept some of the implausibilities you'll see a show with great story telling and fantastic acting across the board.
And cmon....how can you not love Tim Horton's coffee in the latest episode!!!
It's the best show on TV right now. Breaking Bad is better than it, but it is currently on hiatus. I would rank the best ever dramas as;
1. The Wire
2. Breaking Bad (may eclispe The Wire depending how they wrap the final season)
3. Homeland

Fantrax H2H 12 team keeper. Keep 16 this year, 17 next year, 18 following year and beyond. 3 Prospect Keepers. Season Nine
Good stuff, wow, I'll check it out when I'm caught up on the other shows.
Bold words, but then again Breaking Bad wasn't great this season IMO, and Boardwalk Empire keeps killing off any interesting characters worth watching.
But best show on TV right now is Sons of Anarchy. If you've watched it then you wouldn't brush it off so easily! Also, Dexter is going. I'm eight episodes behind, but it can't have declined any, has it?

Sons of Anarchy certainly is good too. Shall we sprinkle some Game of Thrones on this good tv banter?

Haven't seen SOA (saw seasons 1 + 2) recently, haven't touched Game of Thrones yet. Dexter has died a slow death since season 5.

I disagree here -- it's been up and down, but I think it's finishing strong.
Season 1 was unbelievable.
Season 2 was good.
Season 3 was crap.
Season 4 might be the best single-season of TV I've ever enjoyed.
Season 5 was meh. Julia Stiles was bad.
Season 6 was fantastic IMO. Not quite season 1 or 4, but I really enjoyed it.
Season 7 thus far has been good -- moved too quick early, but it's setting up nicely. This will be the last, and I'm ready for it to wrap up, but I think it's been solid throughout.
I've got Season 1 of Homeland waiting for Dexter to end. Don't want to get it started yet.
