re: Underrated TV Series

I always get underrated and under the radar mixed up.

From the shows mentioned in this thread already, that I have seen and would recommend:

Longmire: interesting weekly cases, beautiful NM scenery (although set in WY), oddly sexy supporting actresses, unique western/native themes not normally found in a procedural.

Fringe: from the pilot I was hooked. Time travel, multi-universe, and fluid consciousness apparently were right up my alley. I had never been into a show like this before but loved it. A sexy blond Anna Torv helped.

For your troubles:


Some other shows that may or may not have been on people's radars (or underrated, pretty sure I'm fricking up the premise of this thread but I don't care):

Netflix: Love, Flaked, The Ranch

Amazon: Goliath, Sneaky Pete, Patriot

Premium Cable (HBO/Showtime): Boardwalk Empire, Californication

Networks: Justified, Community, Chuck, Happy Endings, The Shield

(While most all of the above shows are familiar to people, I don't see many threads or hear people talk about them as much.)

As for Lost vs Fringe. I watched Fringe first and love it. I watched Lost just a few months ago for the first time and loved it as well. I appreciate the big picture of Lost but I believe I enjoyed the Fringe series more. They both have a lot of similarities. Since I binged both of them after they were off the air I didn't get caught up in any hype. I feel Lost had more potential, but squandered it in the later seasons. I liked the characters in Lost better but thought the story/science was better in Fringe. If I had to pick one to re-watch first, I'd definitely pick Fringe.

Since I posted a pic of Anna Torv, it is only fair that I post a pic of Evangeline Lilly:
