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?

When I talk about efficient humor, Hank dropping 'told you to get out of THE Dodge' is what I'm referring to.
Serious scene, with a little drop to remind you of Hank's penchant for malapropisms.
Similarly, in the most recent episode, they tidily established Natalia's new entitled demeanor with 'ding, ding!!'
Too entitled and self-absorbed to push a mere elevator button now that she's a showrunner, she put her assistant in her place with a sunny veneer. . . [Reply]
After what I felt was a disappointing tonal shift for the majority of season 3, with far too much screen time for characters that I didn't care for, Barry absolutely stuck the landing in the last 2 episodes. We were close to giving up on it, but I'm glad we didn't. That was some great television. [Reply]
If I missed this here, I apologize. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Old Man dropped today. FX/Hulu. Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow. It's the most compelling first episode of any show I can remember watching. Wow. [Reply]
