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?

Ultimately I think it's pretty simple - if you like Tudyk, you're gonna like this show. If you don't, you won't. Because it pretty much is just 40 minutes of him being Alan Tudyk.
If he's not your thing, probably no reason to circle back. But if you generally find him funny then you'll probably like the show. [Reply]

To quote Fax, sorry if it is a repost.
I watched that a few years ago when it was first on Showtime. Really enjoyed it. I like anything with Jeff Daniels and think Maura Tierney is pretty great too. [Reply]

Yeah, I agree on both of them.
Just started season 2 and there is some serious gear shifting required, but still a very enjoyable watch. [Reply]

Holy shit, I was hooked pretty quick, but I did not expect the second season to turn out as good as it did. It was a great way to end the show if that's the direction it takes, but I've read that the show runner has the 3rd season mapped out. He's just waiting for Max (those cock suckers are so shitty they'll cancel anything) to renew for season 3. [Reply]

Like Halo the game? Cuz I haven't seen anything but that it's bad. Could be just from the Halo fan boys though. It seems to have good reviews now that I look at it. [Reply]
Colin Farrel plays a "detective type" role, searching for the grand daughter of a LA Film producer. It has that LA detective noir feel that runs through Spade/Marlow/Bosch.

Spoiler!
To be totally honest, in season two, the male gay scenes are becoming way to prolific. I ****ing hate them, makes me want to puke
