HELP! me find my next tv show(s) - tastes/examples inside...

Based on your liked list, maybe you've seen them already but anyways:

The Americans (I can't recommend this enough.)
Narcos
House of Cards
The Bridge (DEN/SWE version.)
Sherlock (doesn't really relate to your list per se, but I just love it.)
Six Feet Under


Do you even know what honor is?
- A horse.

The OP and I don't have the same taste, really, though some of the shows he listed are just really great shows, but yeah, "The Americans" is probably the way to go. Good call.

Big thank you for the replies so far, looks like The Americans is going into the pool of contenders very early on

Narcos is another for me to consider as have seen mention about that from other sources too

Yes have seen all seasons of The Bridge, and have watched ALL of the other nordic/scandi shows

Sherlock, i just can't go there, i *think* i know the type of thing it's going to be, the style, and feel, and i wouldn't like it

this is a generalization and maybe silly to say, but being English myself, i tend to like the escapism of watching foreign TV shows, not British stuff :)

please keep the suggestions coming!

edited the OP, forgot to include underbelly in the liked section

One of my favorite binges was Person of Interest...

Would recommend Dexter if you haven't watched it already.

I just want to add if you do watch DEXTER I would highly recommend seasons 1, 2 & 4. Seasons 5 & 6 were adequate, but stay away from the ridiculous seasons 3, 7 & 8.

"Whither is fled the visionary gleam? Where is it now, the glory and the dream?"

Here are a few of my favorites:

BLACK MIRROR (2011): season three begins streaming on Netflix on Friday, October 21st. This gives you plenty of time to catch up with mini-seasons one and two and the incredible Christmas Special

BORGEN (2010): If you are into "nordic noirs" this political drama from Denmark is at the top of the list.

CONTINUUM (2012): If you enjoy futuristic science fiction. It is a great Canadian series.

FARGO (2014): Whether you liked the original film or not both season of this television remake are worth your while.

THE LEFTOVERS (2014): This show you have to watch to understand and appreciate. It is a genre all its own

MAD MEN (2007): My favorite series of the 21st century, so far...

MASTER OF NONE (2015): A great, well-written and relevant series created and starring Aziz Ansari.

PENNY DREADFUL (2014): Its three seasons have some of the best acting and storytelling around, especially if you are into gothic horror. I became obsessed and have now binge-watched it five times.

RECTIFY(2013): Another show that is easy to binge-watch and is fresh with a stellar cast. Season four begins Wednesday, October 26th.

TRUE DETECTIVE (2014): Season one only. Season two destroyed this anthology series completely.

If you have any questions regarding these suggestions feel free to ask. I actually have plenty more favorites, but these are at the top of my list.



"Whither is fled the visionary gleam? Where is it now, the glory and the dream?"

@lbalb9 - looks very promising, thanks for the suggestion!

Guys, regarding Dexter, i will bear that in mind, nice one for pointing out the best seasons too, although i must admit if i watch a show, i watch every second, never skip, but point taken.

@Blue_Leaf - WOW! - i looked up each and every one of those suggestions, and most i had never heard of, and some looked right up my alley, so a BIG thank you for that list, and your time posting.

going to cherry-pick from all these suggestions and update the contenders section once more
