    Gotta go with "Justified".

    I despised "The West Wing".


    "Boardwalk Empire" is solid, though I know a lot of people don't like it.

    can you really be bothered watching one of these shows from episode 1 and playing catch up for 7 seasons?

    If you haven't seen Breaking Bad put it on top of your list and don't even consider anything else first.

    Sons of Anarchy aint bad but has got too soap opera like for my tastes.

    Breaking Bad is pretty good I've seen two seasons. I'm like RWTP though, I'll see a season or two and get bored.

    6 Feet Under is supposed to be good.

    I think we watch all the same shows. I missed the boat on "Breaking Bad" though, someday I guess.

    I'm not sure I would recommend "Walking Dead" or "The Killing" to anyone else though. They are both as infuriating as they are watchable. Guilty pleasures mostly.

    "The Americans" has been great so far.

    As Nobs said Justified is a great start.

    If youre looking for something light and easy, check out Suits. Nice little show.

    HaHa! I watched it, but don't know if I could morally recommend it to anybody. It was fun, but wow, did they throw everything up against that horror wall, that they possibly could.

    If you want to watch multiple seasons, I recommend Prison Break. I got addicted to that shit and watched 4 seasons in like a week.

    I'm 3 episodes into "The Following" and I'm already getting the sense it kind of sucks...........just like almost everything that FOX puts on the regular FOX channel, instead of FX.

    Trivial, watered down, safe garbage.

    Good show., season 1 is up there with the best of them. I thought the show fell off after that.

    Season 1 is unbelievably funny and i would recommend it, however it gets old pretty fast. I was excited when I heard the news about s2 however with hindsight its a one season show.
