Drama series if possible.

Mad Men
House of Cards
Longmire
Sherlock

Others I'd highly recommend with only 1 Season (or 2 short seasons) on Netflix:

Bloodline
Terriers
Daredevil
Black Mirror
Broadchurch
Happy Valley
The Fall

tried Narcos but it has too many subtitles

Understood, but might I suggest trying to tough it out. It really is a fascinating story. I thought Netflix did a good job managing the amount of subtitles/reading people have to do so that even people who aren't used to watching foreign tv/movies could still enjoy.

Peaky Blinders.

Really an incredible series. Drama, set in England after the first world war. Can't recommend it enough.

One show that doesn't get a lot of mentions but I thought was awesome is Rectify.

Sherlock - a modern day take on the story.

Black Mirror - It's kind of like a modern Twilight Zone. Each episode's story is separate. Many people find the first episode off-putting, though. Either push past it or skip it and come back to it. Netflix just ordered more episodes of it.

Friday Night Lights - Family/sports drama set in a fictional Texas town.

Love that show. I saw Lyla Garitty in Savannah a couple of weekends ago. I was standing on a corner waiting to cross when a girl walks up with her baseball cap pulled way down. She looks up at me and I can tell she recognized that I recognized her. The light turned green and we crossed. I tried to get my wife's attention on the DL, but she missed it. I wanted to yell "Clear eyes, full hearts!" but I chickened out.

Back on subject- Peeky Blinders and Bloodline are great, same with first season of House of Cards.
