SouthStander.com wrote:'Deadwood' and 'Rome', both scandalously dropped with miles left in them, would have been my next recommendations. Rome is very authentic feeling, and Deadwood is just the rawest western you'll ever see. The language in Deadwood takes a bit of getting used to.
With West Wing - buy series 1, and you'll be ordering the other six before the end of the fourth episode.

Cheers pal
I currently have a 6 week old baby in the house. Probably best if i leave the West Wing until i have a bit more spare time
.Have you watched The Wire?
I cannot recommend it enough. Initially i was pretty skeptical as i thought it would be standard yank cop fare. It has the real authentic appeal that you describe in Rome and is such a rewarding experience as it gives you nothing, without you earning it.
One particular scene in the first series literally left me flabbergasted at the things i was seeing. It was nothing that had not been protraied in a drama before, but it played so real to life (As i would expect it anyway) it was stunning television
SPOILER in case you have not seen it -
the shooting of Kima Greggs and the subsequent beating of the suspect in the interrogation room (With Cedric Daniels approval)
