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?

The Alienist on TNT Monday 1/22 at 9pm. Follows the first female police detective (Dakota Fanning) in NYC in the late 1800's as she tries to solve a serial killer mystery. They use emerging psychology and early forensic techniques.
Watching this and REALLY like it. That description you posted is pathetic. Fanning is NOT the star. She is one of several, but not the lead. The lead is a psychiatrist, but the whole thing is set back in teh stone age of police work, trying to catch a serial killer.
Read the book by Caleb Carr 20 or so years ago and the series is true to the book. REally good! [Reply]

It's a bit confounding, because Sam Bee is a co-producer with hubby Jason Jones. But it's so not up it's own ass in the ways that she is on her show.
It's almost like the show is reparations for Jason putting up with her perpetual temper tantrum.
Oddly as well, the only place I've seen Jason outside this show since they left The Daily Show, is several appearances on Gavin McInnes' youtube show. [Reply]
