For daily spoken English: The Office The IT Crowd Doctor Who Spooks Luther Top 2 are funny. 3rd one is a classic series and the last two are about crime.

adding to Gumshoe: - Falling Skies - Game of Thrones - True Blood - The Detective (hard to understand English!)

I recommend this series: -Under the Dome. -Breaking Bad. -Lost. -Friends (This series is very good to learn English, because it has short episodes, approximately 20 minutes, and it's well understood. I'm starting to see it).

Sherlock Holmes is an awesome series to watch.. do give it a try :)

If you are looking for a six-level reading series workbook, a very good one is, "Reading Explorer". It is published by "National Geographic Learning/Heinle Cengage Learning". The articles are very interesting and the photography is excellent!
