    Fargo.... Maybe not nice, but good...

    Several series have just one good series...

    True detective is one of those where it is very recommendable to use "binge-viewing", = download all of it, watch it on a rainy day. The script is so well made that it is not possible to "get it" by watching one program a week. Mr Robot, same story. Too many details....
    CSI or all the other garbage, full of clichees only, are very popular with people who hate thinking, True Detective is for the others...

    I liked Dexter in the beginning, House seems to me too artficial, I like a touch of reality... no doctor like exists in the real world... ;)

    Too many great ones too even start. One foot in the grave, I liked best. If you enjoy thinking, try QI....

    @Bat.1: I think we all have the potential to be hoarders. :)

    I got rid of so much electronic junk that it filled a dumpster.

    Including a Data General Nova 2 :eek:

    Though I am a hoarder too, in the case of movies & TV shows as soon as I watch something I delete it.

    orange, yellow, whatever....

    Epicurus said that whatever your vice, keep it in moderation.
    When I was young, we used to say that everything more than 40mg of Lysergic acid diethylamide is wasted....

    But Abraham Lincoln said:
    It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

    No one said you should have NO vices... just pick intelligent ones, don't become an alcoholic or a junkie (or, a soldier, a lawyer or a politician)

    OK, then what you're saying is to avoid the kind that Churchill refers to with:

    "He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire." (Winston Churchill)

    Back on topic, I've already got several worthwhile tips. I'll watch the first episode and decide whether to proceed with the others.

    For a while, I was watching Castle, which combined cop work with humor, but at some point it became more of a soap opera, so I abandoned it. Pity, it was good at the start, but it seems American series have to include soppy stuff to appeal to the masses. British series are better.

    They are in the business of making money, but remained the same old fools until today.

    Almost all the good stuff is made by the "new stations". The one of the old ones most people will recommend is still... old auntie BBC.
    What I noticed a while ago was the good ones usually requiring more attention than the usual network stuff. That is, why people came up with binge watching. After watching something like True Detective, one piece a week... some time later I watched it all in two days, I saw a a lot more, if you know what I mean. Same with MrRobot for example.... Try it...
