Luther and Sherlock (not season 3) are fantastic.

Lots of great series already mentioned in here. (I particularly liked Band of Brothers and True Detective).
For a couple not mentioned yet I'd throw out Rome and Lonesome Dove if you haven't seen them yet.

Not fully threaded (although the seasons are, individually) and Season 2 is fairly polarizing, I have to ask if you've watched The Wire.
Sopranos and The Shield would also fit the bill, and you mentioned neither. They're all a balance of episodic and threaded stories - and all tell a relatively cohesive story over multiple seasons.
Those are my top 4 - I'm holding a spot in my Top 5 for GoT - but it has to finish to qualify.

It sounds like what you're looking for is something that strings you along enough that you can't stop watching. It's on Amazon, not NetFlix, but 24 is really good at pacing the escalation so you can't stop.

Not really. It's the best show on TV now IMHO and if it continues with the same quality, it might well become my favorite show of all time. Enjoy.

I'm in a similar rut. Sopranos, GOT, BB and SOA have me spoiled on the shows that get pretty brutal and I've found myself losing interest after handful of episodes of the softer shows like Suits, Orange, etc., even Justified. I tried Dexter and while it was good, I just hated pretty much all the characters.
Trying Boardwalk Empire now and about the try Fringe.
