In an effort to only be a drunk 2-3 days a week vice 7, I have been streaming TV shows/series I have never watched in the basement the last few weeks.
Outlander. 4 episodes. Pretty gay. Cool story, but too much woman shit. Does it ever get better?
Homeland. First 3 seasons. Holy fuck. This actually made me a bit sad I stayed drunk all those years. Great show.
Penny Dreadful. 6 episodes. Has it's moments. Worth sticking with it?
Black Sails. 6 episodes. Thought I would love this. Fucking pirates! So far kind of meh. Get better?
I am all caught up on Walking Dead, Justified, SOA, Game of Thrones and The Americans (5 shows I actually watched religiously during my alcoholism).
Anything I am missing? Any great shows out there I missed completely?

I just finished Fargo and it was awesome. Billy Bob Thornton's character is maybe the baddest tv villain I've ever seen.
-
The Fall.
Bloodline.
Kind of getting into Turn. -
I forgot I am up on Vikings. Good chit.
Anyone ever watch Dexter? Any good?
Fargo. I will look into that. Same with The Fall and Bloodline. -
Dexter is decent.
Did you watch True Detectives with McConaughey and Harrelson? Thought that was pretty good, too.
If someone said Billy Bob was good in some shit, you'd better check that out - I'm going to. After watching Slingblade, I figure Billy Bob is one of the best in our generation.
The Wire? Sons o' Anarchy? How about 2-3 more nights of ge3tting drunk? I got another one started a while ago. -
Second for Fargo.
Breaking Bad if you never watched that.
True Detective also. -
The Shield
-
Rome
-
Dexter is the shit. Some people hate on it and the later season are not quite as good, but I was always entertained watching it. The first four seasons are all really good. It's one of my favorites. @Swaye, you will love Dexter's crazy girlfriends Hannah and Lyla.
The best thing about Dexter and Fargo is that they take off in the first episode. You don't have to sit through boring initial episodes like Breaking Bad. The Wire takes 4 or 5 episodes until you start grasping who everyone is.
I liked Boardwalk Empire a lot, but it was kind of slow sometimes. True Detective was good, but not great. -
After you finish The Wire, Rome, Deadwood, The Shield and all but the last two seasons of Dexter, chase away the post-three day bender blues with a few cheerful movies:
Withnail and I
Leaving Las Vegas
Days of Wine and Roses
Smashed
The Lost Weekend

Honey Boo Boo
19 Kids and Counting
Friendzone
Girl Code
Survivor -
Workaholics is pretty fucking funny
-
There was a show about Turrists on Showtine about ten years ago. The hero was a black American Muslim CIA guy. I forgot the name of it, but it was really good. Never mind, it's Sleeper Cell. I only saw one season of it, but that was probably 2011. Between Netflix, Hula Hoop, Amazon, Youtube copies etc. more seasons are probably out there.

Sopranos

First couple seasons of My Name Is Earl were funny as hell. You'd like @Swaye

I have seen all of SoA and Sopranos.
Based on comments so far I will start with Dexter and True Detective. Then maybe Fargo from there. My liver appreciates the input. -
Does anyone else like Homeland or is it just me? Show is fucking great I think.
-
I've watched a ton of those. It's the white trailer park version of my life....plus the messican chick and Jamie Pressley are BRB, JOJO juice for days.GrundleStiltzkin said:First couple seasons of My Name Is Earl were funny as hell. You'd like @Swaye

Season 1 was awesome. Season 2 decent but it has been pretty much annoying shit since.Swaye said:Does anyone else like Homeland or is it just me? Show is fucking great I think.
Need to show Carrie's boobs repeatedly to salvage the series.

Fuck Dexter. That show is trash. Shit premise, worse execution.Swaye said:I have seen all of SoA and Sopranos.

On the other hand, True Detective is amazing. Get season 1 done ASAP, season 2 starts next month.
The new Daredevil series on Netflix is good. Vincent D'Onofrio (Private Pile) is awesome in this.
I assume you've seen House of Cards, but it wasn't on your list. Must see TV.
I also liked Homeland. I thought it should have ended a season earlier, but then the most recent season was really fucking good. So I guess I'm glad they kept it going.
The Wire, The Sopranos, and Deadwood are mandatory viewing for all HHBs.
Downton Abbey
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Treme (guys who made The Wire) -
Any of the housewives shows. You should just DVR Bravo period

Bates Motel is pretty good as well. Prequel to the movie psycho set in today's time.
Always Sunny in Philadelphia is fucking hilarious, and gets even better in the later seasons as you learn more about the characters.
Trailer Park Boys has some of the funniest moments ever, but is hit or miss.
