Thanks. But this seems to be from US. I was looking for british suspense/mystery series.
Homeland (Season 1) finished airing recently. Found it to be among the more mature espionage thrillers in recent times, with more human aspects than the usual gun-play and car chases. Though the finale was not much of a 'closer'; more like a end of season 1/beginning of season 2. The classic jazz-influenced sound track is a nice touch.

HOMELAND is quite gripping i am on episode ten..sad will have to wait for season 2. I read somewhere President Obama watches Homeland and he hasnt missed a show!
Re: Brit Mystery/Suspense series?
State of Play
Edge of darkness
Last two are made into movies but TV series of those two are way better and preferable.
I started re-watching the LOST S1 on Bluray. Its as interesting as first time. The greatest TV show ever.

Re: Brit Mystery/Suspense series?
These seems to be mini series. Thanks.
Are there anything similar to 'sherlock' or 'poirot' from BBC?

I am surprised nobody has mentioned The Sopranos till now!
I was a skeptic at first but I got a chance to see the whole series and now I am convert. It is probably the best on screen treatment of the Italian mob life I have ever seen. I am not kidding. The writing, dialogues, acting and music is absolutely fantastic. Don't see it with kids in the room though.
Next favorites:
The Wire
The Shield
Dexter
and sitcoms:
Seinfeld, Arrested Development (probably the smartest TV show ever made too bad it got axed), Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Office(US), Frasier, Family Guy, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Simpsons, Friends (quite excruciating in the end but some of it was good).

m-jeri large mixed list you have there.
Have to agree with you on Arrested Development! But for me Sopranos is still at least 9/10 if not a 10. You have to see The Wire (maybe a bit boring for you) and Dexter.
Looks like you have an unlimited broadband connection!
hee hee!

Inspector Morse (John Thaw) has been a classic series set in and around Oxford for those elitists murders.
There were so many other sleuths and detective TV - the Brits simply love them; I remember watching 'Midsomer Murders' and the more witty 'Hetty Wainthrop Investigagtes' while I was there.

the stunningly beautiful morena baccarin - another reason to watch Homeland
Two new promising serials in the thriller category just started airing: Alcatraz and Touch (with Kiefer Sutherland).
Touch has a challenging premise of dramatic coincidences that connect lives across the world, but the first episode seemed to stretch credibility. Still worth a watch for novelty alone IMO.

Recently I started revisting good old Brit TV series - after all they started it.

All Creatures Great and Small

Real vintage feeling for those who can connect!!!
