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?
It was Breaking Bad before Breaking Bad as mild mannered salaryman Rock is written off by his company and falls in with a group of mercenaries\pirates in the hive of scum and villainy in Roanapur, Thailand and is slowly corrupted by it.
It is part exercise in philosophy, part Tarantino, and part 80s-90s action movie.
It's a series in that it airs once every year, and it's must-watch because it's become one of my favorite year-end things over time. So rather than bothering with a new thread, just put it here

It would pretty much have to be. That episode where they were supposed to be in Cuba is one of the lamest things I've ever seen on TV. I quit watching after that. [Reply]
My dudes, VEEP is one of the best mean spirited comedies I have seen. It's a must watch for those who love Always Sunny or Arrested Development. [Reply]

Indeed. Especially the first two or three seasons. [Reply]
Resident Alien off to a decent start, quirky, easily digestible fluff.
Twin Peaks, except not so creepy. . . Northern Exposure, except actual aliens instead of displaced urbanites. And just a bit of cold war sci-fi matinee/Twilight Zone.
