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 fuckton, 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?
Holy shit, Black Butterflies on Netflix was insane. Really well done. The twists and turns throughout the 6 episodes was great and kept you guessing. The final reveals we’re mind blowing. Definitely recommend it! [Reply]
Shameless is the best tv show ever.
On this site there is a detailed instruction how to install a private internet access to the firestick and that thing makes the whole streaming process much easier and faster. Not to mention the quality of the picture, which is definitely much better than when i was using cable or some dodgy websites. [Reply]

I love this show. The episode with Owen Wilson was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. [Reply]

Right after that show released, that surviving guys wife accused him of rape...they're separated so ehh [Reply]
You should check out "Inside Man" with Stanley Tucci and David Tennant
It's a drama sprinkled with some great comedy into it. Imagine being faced with a terrible dilemma and of all choices, you choose the absolute worst option every time. :-)
The Devils Hour on Amazon Prime was one of the wildest rides I can remember. Stayed up 2 hours too late watching when I have to get up for work the next day. Really amazing storytelling across the timelines, and the way they tie everything that you didn’t understand in the first 5 episodes in the final episode was just spectacular. Don’t recall seeing any other show like this one. And I’m still getting goosebumps thinking about it. If you’re looking for a twisty turny show that wraps up everything in 6 episodes, I highly recommend this one.
