For relatively recent chronological story-telling TV dramas, these were some of my favorite binge-ing experiences, with the seasons I thoroughly enjoyed:

Breaking Bad all 5 seasons
Band of Brothers mini-series
Game of Thrones seasons 1-6
The Wire all 5 seasons
The Sopranos seasons 1-5
Heroes seasons 1, 2
Walking Dead seasons 1-4.5
True Detective season 1
Stranger Things season 1
Mad Men seasons 1-5
House of Cards seasons 1, 2
Dexter seasons 1-4
Westworld season 1
John Adams HBO mini-series
Mindhunter season 1
Lost season 1 (unfortunately, never finished the series past this season, so I can't say if the rest were good enough to watch, but I'm told there were some other entertaining seasons)
Downton Abbey season 1

I highly recommend any of those series with those specific seasons. Going any further, you are at your own risk.

LOST gets hate but the entirety of the show is really good if you can appreciate it as a character story and not a fan theory plot driven story

I’d add these to your list:

Supernatural: seasons 1-5
Justified
Barry
Fringe
24: seasons 1,2,4,5
Arrow: Season 1
Smallville: seasons 1-5
Flash: seasons 1-2, end of season 3

Note: take off Heroes season 2, leave season 1, only leave Walking Dead season 1
