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?

I'm likely going to watch at least 1 more tonight and can report back.
Finished it.
The dialogue was so long-winded and felt totally unnecessary for the most part. To make it worse, it's that damn whisper dialogue where every conversation is being had in a library. So damn boring. There were moments where i straight up fast forwarded through the dialogue. Some people think long dialogue scenes = quality story telling. Maybe those folks will like that shit.
I thought the last two episodes were pretty good. I felt like if they condensed episodes 1-5 into 30mins followed by episodes 6-7 they woulda had a decent movie. [Reply]

Main monster dude was creepy to look at. And when preacher-man discovered his "craving" was a pretty dang good scene, if you know what i mean. [Reply]

Watching it now. It's great. Funny and sad.
My girl Daddario showing off some acting skills, too. She's really good in it. [Reply]

Fast forward to midnight when I had stayed up two extra hours to finish streaming season 1.
Season 1 is so pure. There is barely an ounce of fat on that magnificent season of TV. I don't personally feel the same about season 2 (though the finale is really good). [Reply]
Anybody watch this? Finished it last night, it was actually pretty entertaining. Campy but not over the top. Martin and Short are great in it, but surprisingly so was Selena Gomez. [Reply]

Watched the finale last night. Thought it was an incredibly fun and refreshing show. Never liked Martin Short at all and even found myself enjoying his character. Excited to see what they do with season 2. [Reply]
