Must Watch Series

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.

Spoiler!

Here is a listing of shows on my list to watch (mostly due to this thread)
Spoiler!



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.

Didn't see any mention of The Shield in here. Any thoughts? Just finished Breaking Bad and SOA is over so I'm trying to find some new shows. With Justified also being in it's final season I'm soon to be at a loss for shows to watch.

I was debating between The Shield and The Wire. I downloaded The Shield so I guess that's first on the docket.

Haven't read much of this thread, but I'm halfway through season two of The Wire. Watch it if you haven't. Excellent thus far.

The Americans just debuted it's third season.

Really quality show, if you're into that 80s Cold War thing.

Story told from the POV of Russian spies implanted very young as a married couple in the suburban beltway.

Does a good job of capturing the mood of the time, showing the technological limitations and pending breakthroughs that made spycraft so hard, yet so important. Also, shows the torn allegiances between America clearly providing them and their family a better life, while blaming the deprivations in the homeland on America itself.

Doesn't pull a lot of punches. You'll want to kill for the 'protagonists' in one instance and cry your eyes out for them the next.

Yeah. I'm watching it. Great ****ing show. And I want to do bad things to Keri Russell.

Another great show to catch up on with HBOGo is The Comeback. Kind of HBO's version of Firefly, the show they shouldn't have cancelled.

It is said a lot, but it suffered from being ahead of it's time. It's a mix of Spinal Tap and BBC's The Office in that it's a mockumentary that is heavy on cringe humor.

Lisa Kudrow plays an aging former sitcom star trying to make a 'comeback' by working on a new sitcom at the same time as she's filming a reality show documenting her sitcom comeback. On the sitcom, she's working with a bunch of younger, hipper, sexier and way less mature co-stars, as well as a writing staff that resents the intrusion of her reality show. And the network process changes her character from a prominent professional who lives with the youngsters to a sourpuss old chick who owns the apartment complex and just pops in with curmudgeonly catchphrases.

People weren't clued into just how asinine reality was to become, much like Spinal Tap audiences weren't clued into how asinine rockumentaries would become.

Further, people weren't prepared for cringe-humor like they were when The Office came out soon thereafter in Britain.

Given what's transpired since it first went on, they brought back the show with largely the same cast this fall after 9 years off-air, which I think is unprecedented.

Another neat thing, if you into it, is seeing all the talent that got their start on there. A ton of people who are household names showing up in bit parts. I won't spoil them here, though.

Kind of like going back and seeing all of Jerry's girlfriends through the years on Seinfeld.
