Hello Screened Community, 
I looking for a solid drama to watch over the summer.  I got really into Rescue Me and I am about half-way through season 5, but I think I got pretty burnt out on it for now.  I've read some good things about The Wire and Breaking Bad.  I'm wondering if I can some input about these shows to help me decide. 
Thanks

Breaking Bad is still going on and the premiere should only be a month or so away.  If you have no plans you could very easily catch up since Breaking Bad's seasons are typically 13 episodes or under.  I would also suggest Justified, The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Fringe, The Sopranos, Homicide, and Nip/Tuck before they move out of Miami.

Yeah Breaking Bads premiere is in July. Its one of my favorite show and has really strong acting.

Also, the episodes are filled with great cliffhangers that make going through them all really easy. Last fall I went through all the episodes in like two weeks.

@not_a_bumblebee: Thanks for the additional suggestions.  I actually haven't seen any of those other shows.  I got into a lot of hour long dramas when I started University and surprisingly none of those were among them.  I guess I can quickly catch up on Breaking Bad and try out one of those other shows 
.@nicorcano:  Thanks for the reply.  I love marathon viewings of shows when they have cliffhangers.

Rookie Blue is good, a fun cop show. 
True Blood is awesome, gritty, dirty, sexy ... its got it all.

The Wire and Breaking Bad are both excellent. The Shield is also a work of genius.

The Wire would be a good summer choice, The Sopranos would also work, it's a little longer so will probably take up most of your summer. If I were recommending one I'd go The Wire, it doesn't have a bad season, and everything in it is there for a reason, very few scenes are wasted.

The Wire is five seasons of pure genius and hell of a lot better than just about anything else to ever grace the screen.

I'm going to try and catch up on Doctor Who, then try Twin Peaks for the first time. I also plan on finishing Spartacus.

I have been meaing to go back to Twin Peaks. The Killing just keeps reminding me of TP and I loved every minute of it all those years ago. Would love David Lynch to direct an episode of Dexter one time.
