You wanna talk about Englishmen doing good American accents, check out Idris Elba. He's most well known for playing the business man/gangster Russell 'Stringer' Bell on the HBO series The Wire. Listen to how good his American accent is:

^gotta love season 3 of the wire... my favorite storyline of the entire series was probably stringer and barksdale.

Third Rock From The Sun reruns
Supernatural
The Big Bang Theory
Boardwalk Empire

Stringer and Barksdale was a really well told story. I remember my first time going through the first season I really despised both of them, they were real villains. Yet come 3rd season and the introduction of Marlo Stanfield, you were almost rooting for them, because they were the lesser of two evils. It was also a little depressing for Stringer just because of the lack of talent he had at his disposal. I mean I remember during his 40 degree day rant, the look of absolute frustration with his muscle when one of them happily exclaims "like a 40 degree day" with the most sincere smile on his face, completely oblivious to what Stringer was trying get across. I actually felt a little bad when

As far as my favourite season, season 2 had some really great moments, and Frank Sobotka, one of the most tragic figures in modern television. Season 4 and 5 were also great, season 5 being particularly good because it's so hard to watch, yet you can't help but look. Season 3 is where the show kind of fell off a little bit for me, I mean don't get me wrong it was still miles better than everything else on TV combined, but it just didn't have that same feeling at the end of the season that I got from the others. I mean it still had its moments, Bubbles walking through 'Hamsterdam' at night was quite surreal and terrifying, and watching Freamon sell the Barksdales their own wiretap was just hilarious. The introduction of Maj. Colvin was also a great addition to an already amazing ensemble cast, and I was glad that they kept him around in season 4.

Best show on television.

it's fitting that you think season three was a bit off(my favorite) because I probably don't hold the series in such high regard as you do. it's excellent, don't get me wrong, but there's no way i would ever say i prefer it to the sopranos.

Idris Elba, Dominic West, Aiden Gillen- all British actors on The Wire who more than hold their own.

Just finished season 1 today for the 2nd time and cannot get enough of it. I managed to get the boxset for a decent price and it's one of the few T.V series that I can devour 2 or 3 episodes at a time and I will admit to rarely watching U.S shows or a lot of T.V in general but The Wire works on so many levels it's scary.

Rarely has any sort TV series remained as impartial as The Wire.

:laughing: It's true! It's on the special features of the season one DVD's.

I love reality shows, so currently watching The apprentice, survivor, dancing with the stars, cutthroat island and hell's kitchen

Pretty dang good.

I got hooked to Crime dramas over the summer, and have been slowly making my way through all of NCIS and Criminal Minds. My best friend laughs at me for doing so, but he spent a large amount of his summer watching Pokémon, thus his opinion is invalid.
