This is in aid of being prepared when asked what I'd like for Christmas, so please don't just put down your favourite. Try to factor in my tastes, as far as you're aware of them! All advice gratefully received.

I'm weighing in too late to be helpful, perhaps, but I find Dexter unbearably bad. Bad writing, especially the clunky characterization via a combination of voice-over from the main character and dialogues between main character and his dead father.

I'd say: The Wire or Breaking Bad, or the Swedish The Killing, or any of these intriguing ones I haven't seen that were mentioned here, including Best of Youth and Borgen.

Thank you - I'm still wavering, but I'm currently most drawn by The Bridge and Best of Youth, with The Killing leading the chasing pack.
