Must Watch Series

[Buehler445]

All this talk about series, how network TV Sucks, and how hard it is to find quality shows, and some excellent shows that fly under the radar, I need a comprehensive review of all the series I need to see.

For good entertainment, I would be willing to buy DVD sets. But I've recently picked up HBOGO by kiping it from my parents, and recently got Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Here is a listing of shows that I currently own or have seen all the episodes of. If it isn't on the list, just assume I haven't seen it.

I work a ****ton, so it is hard for me catch a series while it is on to get it on the DVR, but I recognize the entertainment value and am willing to go after the Must See shows. Accordingly, I'm not necessarily looking for anything that is still running. I'm up for watching stuff that has run its course.

So what say you, Planet? Which shows should I see?

UPDATED for the shows I've seen recently.

So you get what I'm saying, right? Also I pushed through it and I'm glad I did. The show is pretty good, however it's not as good as I've seen it hyped up to be. I've seen people say it's one of the best shows ever and that's just absurd. Good show though.

Mostly because the concept of the show feels different and fresh to me.

I loved S1, S2 was fine, and I'm hopeful S3 is better.

Man, I almost quit on it because of the acting. I even told my wife to go ahead and watch it without me, but the next day I watched some more and so glad I did. This show is pretty ****ing cool and I love all the mystery. It reminds me of when Lost was on and all the discussion on the Internet. Some interesting theories on Reddit.

Someone needs to start a From thread on CP. I would but I can't. Also I think this show would be absolutely huge if it wasn't for it being on shitty MGM+. The acting has also gotten tons better.
