rai mentions watching Breaking Bad, Sopranos and Lost already. My recommendations include:

Justified - (5 seasons and only bad episode is finale). Put this one at top of your list.

Limitless - take a pill and become a genius for a day, only side effect is it can kill you and is illegal. This entertaining dramedy is funny and well written. Main character always skirts formal procedures but his heart is good and he uses the pill to fight evil. Should have won many awards.

Scandal - outrageously unrealistic drama centered on fictional White House is fun to indulge.

People of Earth - Low key comedy with unknown and flawed characters. Ever seen a funny alien, there many?

Silicon Valley - low key with a few characters showing excellent acting chops engaged in the quirky and fickle world of startups. Where things can go right or wrong in an instant. Watched this for three seasons and couldn't get enough.

Nurse Jackie - every character in this drama is interesting and the entire show is about relationships.

30 Rock - the perfect comedy where most characters are established professional comedians already.

Castle - cop dramedy doesn't take itself too seriously. With interesting crimes each week, you follow crime writer around trying to solve the mystery. You never will, just enjoy the time spent watching.

Just finished watching 4 seasons of Weeds and am sorry to see it over. Theme correlates strongly with pinballers. Had to wait for reruns on cable and recorded them since I don't have Netflix. Season 1 was quite good. Seasons 2 & 3 were great and Season 4 was good. Acting was decent and it had some quirky characters. Now I gotta find some MILF weed.

Watched first 2 seasons of Silicon Valley and love that show. Cancelled HBO thereafter and haven't been able to consistently watch the remaining seasons.

Watched 2 seasons of People of Earth and enjoyed it immensely. Everybody enjoys Aliens and they added a funny twist by defining three distinct species. Wish they'd make some more episodes.

I’ve watched Soprano's, Breaking Bad, Curb your Enthusiasm, Lost, Seinfeld, 2 Seasons of TWD, 2 Seasons of Animal Kingdom, Rick and Morty, Justified, The Office, Good Wife, Northern Exposure, E.R., Thirty Rock, Twin Peaks, Simpsons and West Wing. Don't care for GOT or Stranger Things.

I'll comb through this thread for some ideas of what to try next. I am leaning towards Orange is the New Black, The Dark, Dexter, the Witcher or Mandolorian, but I don't want to pay for anything else and that is my limiting factor right now.
