What about Westworld?

I'm not much of a TV person, but I completely fell for Bates Motel. Not a lot of buzz about the show, however it is fantastic!!

Brian

Marco Polo on Netflix

Legion. I just finished the first season on FX. One of the best shows on TV right now IMO. Unlike anything else.

Were watching prison break now. We're in the 3rd season and is good. They just restarted the 5th season last week.
The Expanse, The 100 and The last ship are all good shows

Stranger Things on Netflix

I heard that was good. But doesn't it not get renewed and finished? I thought it leave you with a non complete ending

Better Call Saul

Into the Bad Lands AMC also available on Netflix. Swords, blood and glory

Season 2 is a lot better. He starts to become the Saul goodman we all know and love

I don't like starting a show until a good ways into the series, that way I don't have to wait years. The top 10 series you should watch, and starting now is:

Game of thrones (only two seasons left)
House of cards
Walking dead
Marcos
Stranger things
Better call Saul
Westworld
Halt and catch fire

Those are must see series. Below are decent series:

Sons of anarchy
West wing

Mr Robot, awsome series. I had to get over Christian slater, but after a while I accepted him. But all the other aspects of it is fantastic.

You should give halt and catch fire some more time.

First season of daredevil was great.

Mad dogs series I binged during a weekend.

I thought I'd hate it, but Santa Clarita Diet is very funny - the writing is really excellent. Not sure it has legs as a series, but definitely good for a season.

American Horror Story

All/most of the Twilight Zone episodes are on Netflix if you need to catch up.

Stranger things did nothing for me. Watched the whole season and found it to be boring. I felt that the creators used to much energy to homage the old stuff, and forgot all about the important things.

Battlestar Galactica, except the series finale. Just leave it a mystery.
Deadwood, which never got a series finale, the f*&kers.
Firefly.
Rick & Morty.
Community seasons 1-4.
Westworld.

Black Sails just ended, 4 great seasons.

Pirates were a great theme for a show. One of the best from the last 5 years IMO.

Also, it was made by Starz, so it's uncut/adult.

The walking dead is the best out there. But you must watch from the start. I refused to watch the show for years because I thought the zombie theme was just plain stupid. But this show is all about the relationships among the characters. And there are a handful of episodes that are simply incredible in visual presentation and storyline.

You should at least watch the whole of episode 1.

I was pretty disappointed by westworld but it is worth the watch.

The night of mini series on HBO was great. It's a lot like the killing so you might not like it.

The leftovers is really weird, but I like it. Give it a shot.

A few not mentioned yet:

Amazon Prime:
Bosch
Suits

Netflix:
Wynona Earp
Travelers
The Magicians
Medici
The 100
Longmire
Haven
Continuum
Sherlock
Hell on Wheels
(a stretch --> the shannara chronicles

I LOVE this show. His character is supposed to be super conflicted throughout the whole show - they hinted at this in the 2nd season a bit, and (controversially) when he had the HIV test results. I didn't think it was out of nowhere but it was unexpected! That show is brilliant if you're into 80s computer culture / history

I got to season three of Walking Dead and it started to get old for me. Storyline or no storyline I got tired of them running or chasing after zombies.

GOT is a fantastic series if you have not seen it yet. Many other networks have tried to duplicate the magic of GOT with little success. Great story line and characters.

I also really enjoyed 24 series (helps with appreciating the game)

Currently watching CSI series and enjoying them.

Also Lost is a must if you have never seen it.

Justified... nice series that hooks you into the characters and drama fairly quickly. Didn't have the BB epic ending, and fell apart near the very end, but overall a nice show IMHO.

Penny Dreadful is an awesome series...didn't seem like it to me from the name or pictures of the cast, but trust me...it has "movie-like" special effects, great production qualities...if you don't know anything about it...that's good, just start watching it and you'll get hooked quickly.

Check out Taboo. A Ridley Scott/Tom Hardy production.
I can't believe nobody mentioned The Americans. Definitely the best show on TV today.

For binge watching on Netflix you may want to try 'Sons Of Anarchy'. It is much better than I expected.

Gord

Homeland is pretty darn good!

Easily one of the best shows I've seen in the last 10 years!

Rectify

Hell on wheels, justified, rectify, taboo, Americans... All great suggestions.

Also: Vikings.

banshee was amazing and only a few seasons. Violence violence and violence. Awesome.

Best action show ever made. So many classic fight scenes.

The Wire. It doesn't treat the viewer like an idiot. It'll ruin other series for you.

Boss. Only ran 2 seasons on Starz; easy binge. Super-intense Kelsey Grammer as the "fuck you all" mayor of Chicago, and includes the super-easy-on-the-eyes Kathleen Robertson. Incredible.

And as mentioned, Deadwood is spectacular.

And I love Homeland, despite hoping in every episode since Season 2 for Claire Danes to catch a bullet.

Another vote for Legion, Rick & Morty, Agents of SHIELD, and Stranger Things.

I didn't get in to stranger things either, but many like it. I did enjoy west world and I agree season 2 of the true detective was lame. The first season was so expectedly good.

Game of thrones is amazing, if you haven't seen that that is first, IMO. Breaking bad is probably the best show ever made. If you haven't seen that yet?

Good luck.

Not sure if it was mentioned, Eastbound and Down is a fun watch!

If you're into cartoons and sci-fi, Rick and Morty is great.

Bates Motel....best show on tv right now IMO

Netflix: "La Reina del Sur".

So many good ones named already, but specifically all of these have been my favorites over the last few years:

Legion
GoT
Black Sails
Stranger things
Mr. Robot
Daredevil (and all of the other Netflix/marvel shows)
Rick & Morty
Archer
Bob's Burgers
Expanse

Also Taboo and Bates Motel are pretty good as well.

Justified is a lot of fun.
Someone already mentioned Banshee, but should have added that there's nearly as much sex as over the top violence.
Homeland, though I found some seasons a lot more compelling than others.
Dexter.
The Americans

And for the nostalgia buff - I've re-watched most of UFO on youtube, and I'm trying to make time for Kolchak: the Night Stalker

Leftovers a good call too.

Dexter was great.
