- CreatorDavid SimonStarsDominic WestLance ReddickSonja SohnThe Baltimore drug scene, as seen through the eyes of drug dealers and law enforcement.Easily one of the best tv dramas every created. If you think this series is just a typical detective/cop/bad guy type of show then you're 100% wrong. It does have some of the elements you might find in a police drama but it's so much more than just that. I have never met anyone who watched and didn't like this show.
- CreatorDaniel KnaufStarsMichael J. AndersonAdrienne BarbeauClancy BrownDuring the Great Depression, an Oklahoma farm boy and a charismatic minister learn that they are key players in a proxy war being fought between Heaven and Hell.This series is completely unique. I can't think of anything like it on television past or present. The cast is outstanding, the writing is amazing, the characters are interesting and complex... just an all around amazing show. The first two episodes moves a little slow but stick with it because it really takes off after episode 3.
- CreatorFabrice GobertStarsAnne ConsignyClotilde HesmeFrédéric PierrotIn a small French mountain town where everyone knows each other, the dead begin to inexplicably return as if their death never happened. Forcing the townsfolk to confront their difficult past as they seek to understand this phenomenon.It's in French but you can find ones with English subtitles floating around the internet, or just buy the full series. It's totally worth it. I never liked foreign movies with subtitles until I watched this series. I promise you'll be hooked 15 minutes into the first episode. It's just that good.
- CreatorLee DanielsDanny StrongStarsTerrence HowardTaraji P. HensonJussie SmollettA hip-hop mogul must choose a successor among his three sons who are battling for control over his multi-million dollar company, while his ex-wife schemes to reclaim what is hers.
- CreatorDavid MilchStarsTimothy OlyphantIan McShaneMolly ParkerA show set in the late 1800s, revolving around the characters of Deadwood, South Dakota; a town of deep corruption and crime.I usually hate westerns of all kinds so that's what kept me from giving this series a chance when it was on television. Right after Breaking Bad aired its final episode I was looking for something new to watch and decided to give this a chance. I'm so glad I did because it's another great series I'd put in my top 5 of best tv series ever created. It's just that good. So if you are like me and hate westerns, please give this one a chance. I promise it's worth it.
- CreatorGlenn KesslerTodd A. KesslerDaniel ZelmanStarsKyle ChandlerBen MendelsohnLinda CardelliniA family is forced to face their past secrets and scars when the black sheep returns home.
- CreatorJ. Michael StraczynskiLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsBae DoonaJamie ClaytonTina DesaiA group of people around the world are suddenly linked mentally, and must find a way to survive being hunted by those who see them as a threat to the world's order.
- StarsJill ScottAnika Noni RoseLucian MsamatiPrecious Ramotswe launches the first-ever female detective agency in Botswana. She embarks on various adventures while investigating cases and must also overcome several challenges in her quest.
- CreatorJenji KohanStarsTaylor SchillingDanielle BrooksTaryn ManningConvicted of a decade-old crime of transporting drug money, ordinarily law-abiding Piper Chapman is sentenced to 18 months behind bars and quickly discovers the realities of life-changing prison time.Another one of my favorites. It's quirky, unique, upbeat, with both light and dark humor. This series pulls you in right from the 1st episode. After I binged watched the entire 1st season one weekend, I made my friends watch it so I'd have someone to talk about it with. It's one of those shows where something crazy happens and you have to pause it and call someone and laugh about it. There are many many laugh out loud moments throughout Orange Is The New Black.
- CreatorTerence WinterStarsSteve BuscemiKelly MacdonaldMichael ShannonAn Atlantic City politician plays both sides of the law by conspiring with gangsters during the Prohibition era.
- CreatorBeau WillimonStarsKevin SpaceyMichel GillRobin WrightA Congressman works with his equally conniving wife to exact revenge on the people who betrayed him.If you liked the original British version of this amazing series, then you'll love this one just as much. I'm very into politics so my interest in this series may be colored by that, but I think anyone who likes well written smart television will love this show as well. With everything happening in American politics right now, it's easy to assume that the main character (played by Kevin Spacey) may not be that far from reality.
- CreatorAaron SorkinStarsJeff DanielsEmily MortimerJohn Gallagher Jr.A newsroom undergoes some changes in its workings and morals as a new team is brought in, bringing unexpected results for its existing news anchor.
- CreatorMatthew WeinerStarsJon HammElisabeth MossVincent KartheiserA drama about one of New York's most prestigious ad agencies at the beginning of the 1960s, focusing on one of the firm's most mysterious but extremely talented ad executives, Donald Draper.After hearing all the hype about this show for years I decided to give it a chance. After I finished the first episode I thought it was terrible. I thought the story moved way too slow, the characters were uninteresting, and the whole thing was just dull. Then after reading some encouraging comments by fans of the show on IMDb message boards, I decided to watch 2 more episodes to see if it gets better. I'm so happy I did because now I absolutely LOVE it. It took 3 or 4 episodes before my opinion of the show started to change. After watching the 5th episode I started to appreciate the way the characters were being developed. By the 6th episode it was 100% love. I binged watched the first two seasons and now I'm about to start season 3.
