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?
Good grief, talk about an abundance of riches. All dropped over break, while I wasn't really able to watch TV, too. So I've got some catching up to do once I get back in a routine. [Reply]
I enjoyed La Mante (The Mantis) on Netflix over the weekend. It's a French miniseries following a detective investigating a serial killer. It had some really graphic scenes and Fredérique Bel is balls hot. [Reply]

If you like French crime drama, then try The Frozen Dead. It's new on Netflix. It's in French with subtitles. I really enjoyed it, only 6 episodes. [Reply]

Yep, I'm 2 episodes in and really like it. Likely finish it this weekend.
I don't necessarily seek out foreign shows, but I do like how the subtitles command my attention. [Reply]
I’ve been watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix. It’s good but it’s definitely not a grand epic or anything. Kind of an easy watch that does serve its purpose in being entertaining.
I see a lot of people like Peaky Blinders but I just can’t get into it. I’ve watched probably six or so episodes and I find the accents hard to understand and the story overall to be pretty boring without any characters that keep me wanting to find out what happens next. [Reply]

Peaky Blinders might be my favorite show currently. Many fans of the show (myself included) run it with subtitles enabled. This helps with the accents. You miss ALOT without the subtitles because there are a lot of subtleties in dialog and such that are easy to gloss over with the accents. [Reply]

Did you watch the Archies (or read the comic books) when you were a kid? [Reply]
