Here are the shows that I have watched to it's entirety (meaning all seasons up to date)

1. Breaking Bad (without a doubt my favorite)
2. Mad Men
3. Sons of Anarchy
4. Walking Dead
5. Game of Thrones
6. Banshee
7. The Sopranos
8. True Detective

I liked all of those except The Sopranos. I couldn't really get into it. Which new series should I start?

Fringe is cool. We are doing a rewatch right now actually.

Deadwood is one that I recently watched, and it was awesome. Three seasons long.

For comedies, if you're in your upper 20s-30s, you'll likely love Psych. Fantastic show chock full of awesomeness and referential humor.

Hello Ladies and Silicon Valley are both great as well. Both on HBO. HL is only one season and a movie. SV is also only one season, but is still going...new season out along with Game of Thrones I think.

I've heard good things about Battlestar Galactica, but haven't seen it yet.


And obviously, The Wire is easily the #1 best show I have ever seen. Also HBO (five seasons). If you've never seen it, watch it immediately.

Both have been mentioned, and I will second:

1. Fringe
2. Chuck

I second this one as well. Good show. However, it pissed me off at times. I've heard it said multiple times that Fringe is "Lost done right" and I agree with that to an extent. But that discussion isn't for this thread.

I enjoyed the shite out of Lost

I'm on episode 4 of Peaky Blinders and I'm kind of bored. Might shut it down. Not sure I'd recommend that one.

Entourage - easy show to follow; lifestyles of the rich & famous

Hello Ladies - only lasted a season, but Stephen Merchant was brilliant. Disappointed that it ended, but definitely worth the one season watch.

Silicon Valley - received positive reviews. I really enjoyed it because I'm not too much in tune with the tech/startup scene. T.J. Miller was pretty hilarious.

Dexter - fascinating show, but reviews seem to fluctuate in each season. Michael C. Hall mimics a closet-serial killer pretty well.

Californication - one of the most vulgar shows on TV. It has ended, but I found it supremely hilarious. David Duchovny rakes in so much poon in that show.

Boardwalk Empire - another very good show. Started off slow, but really picked up. Thought it was interesting that they tied in the Prohibition Era. Wasn't a huge fan of Season 4, but LOVED Season 5.

The Wire - simply one of the best shows I've seen on TV. The writers really did their homework on the makings of inner-city America, which is set in Baltimore. Really enjoyed this show.

Vice - although not a traditional TV series, it's a documentary series (as you probably know) and the journalists really embed themselves in the community they are reporting upon.

Homeland - Claire Danes is sexy. The show centers around a CIA officer and terrorism. VERY good show.

As for network television shows, How I met Your Mother, Modern Family, Prison Break, Scandal (guilty pleasure), LOST.

So the one show you don't like happens to be the best show of all time? Hmmm. Well, I would recommend The Wire, but I don't know if you'd like it.
