Any recommendation?
ROME interested me, but I didn't watch it yet since I heard the Show was canceled after the second season.
Prison Break.. People say the only good thing about this show is its first season, the rest is meh.
Those are ALRIGHT but i think you are looking to much into 'whats popular' and not 'whats good'.
British shows I recommendSurvivors - 2 series so far, 3rd is being filmed.95% of the worlds population is killed with a crazy virus, the series is about a group of surivivors in a kind of post apocolypce world... Its really awesome, theres other things in it that havent been explained yet like where the virus came from and what the 'strange cloud' is at the end of each episode thats moving closer to england. (Be warned, there is a 70's show with the same name and plot, I'm talking about this one:

Being Human - 2 series so far, 3rd also in filmingThis one is really awesome, the plot sounds weird at first but it works so well. The idea is that there are Vampires and Werewolves in society but they keep them selves to themselves... The series follows a Vampire that is trying to stop drinking blood and a werewolf that become friends. (Which is frowned apon) And a ghost too. They all have seporate storylines and the second series gets really fucking good. It isn't a comedy but there is comedy in it.
Spaced - 2 series, finishedThis one is a comedy, if you have seen Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz it is by the same people, same actors and everything. It's a sitcom that has lots of parodies of movies, comic books and video games.
American shows I recommendBattle Star Galactica - Series finished, 4 series totalThis is probably the best Sci-Fi ever made, make sure you get the remake not the 70's original. It is set in space, the human race is wiped out all but one final fleet of ships and they are being attacked by Robots called Cylons that are trying to kill off the entire human race.
Sarah Conner Chronicles 2 series, cancelledThis series got cancelled before it was finished but I really liked it anyway. It was based on the Terminator movies and it features Sarah Conner and John as a teenager and a female Terminator that comes back to protect him.
My favourite of the lot is probably Being Human (second series just gets really cool.)
