So until last night I had never watched the show Shameless before. 1/2 way through episode 3 of the first season. Great show and funny as hell.
I remember last year at this time when the construction work slowed down I watched the walking dead for the first time.....then binge watched like 6 seasons in less then 2 weeks haha.

The wife has been pushing me to binge downton abbey with her.... just can't get on that train
SOA was the same way, after the third season it became so ridiculous. 40 dudes firing automatic weapons at SOA and they would alway miss, then Jax would pop out with a pistol and kill everyone....c'mon bros.
Dexter is descent too, suffers the same fate as those mentioned above. I think they just run out of original ideas for tv shows.
It's a fantastic series. It's pretty interesting seeing the kids grow.
- Westworld on HBO now going into season 2. Starts slow but gets better as it goes. Season 2 comes out in spring of 2018.
- The Deuce is a new show on HBO that just finished airing season 1. Renewed for season 2. The show is set during the 70's early 80's when porn and prostitution was rampant in Manhattan.
- Vice Principals also on HBO. There's only 2 seasons and it finished airing this past Sunday. If you liked Danny McBride in Eastbound and Down you'll like this. Funny show.
- Vikings on History. Personally I couldn't get into it but it's still going strong. Season 5 starts on November 29th.
- Knightfall on History is a new show coming out December 6th. Obviously can't binge watch but it looks promising so thought I'd mention it. It's about the final days of The Knight's Templar.
- The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime. Season 3 starts in early 2018. The show is about what life may have been like if Germany had won WWII.
It has his ups and downs but in the end its still worth the time
I'm currently watching S5.
Eastbound and Down was amazing
Also recommended:
- Game of Thrones (HBO, 7 Seasons): I'm sure all of you have heard about it. If you like fantasy/medieval stuff with some politics mixed in, this is your show.
- Mindhunter (Netflix, 1 Season): Especially interesting to me since I've actually been doing research on serial killers recently, but it's essentially a dramatized version of the story that led to the creation of the FBI's behavioral science unit that did research on serial killers. David Fincher is involved, so it's very Zodiac-esque. It's been renewed for season two, but the creators have a five season story arc planned.
- Stranger Things (Netflix, 2 Seasons): Were you alive in the '80s? You'll probably did this horror/adventure. Not alive in the '80s? You'll probably still dig it.
- True Detective (HBO, 2 Seasons): Season 1 of this show is a must watch for anyone that's into crime shows/murder mysteries. It'll probably go down as one of the greatest seasons of television in history. Season 2 is skippable, but not terrible.
- The Leftovers (HBO, 3 Seasons): This show isn't for everyone, but it's truly a captivating story that will keep you interested to the very end. It essentially follows a group of characters after millions of people just disappear from the world one day.
- Band of Brothers (HBO, 1 Season): You like Saving Private Ryan? This is for you.
- Justified (FX, 6 Seasons): I can't recommend Justified enough. It's a show about a U.S. Marshal, but its far better than your typical law enforcement show. Some great humor, and a great story.
- Mad Men (Netflix, 7 Seasons): Not an easy show to binge, and it's not the most exciting, but the ending is well worth the time you'll invest. It's about an advertising firm back in the day.
- The Last Kingdom (Netflix, 2 Seasons): If you like Vikings, you'll like The Last Kingdom. A lot of the same characters are present, but in different roles and the story is quite a bit different. The book series is excellent as well if you're looking for some reading material.
- One Punch Man (Netflix, 1 Season): I'm not a huge anime guy (I do like Death Note and Attack on Titan), but One Punch Man is a show that I think just about anyone can enjoy. It's about a guy who can destroy anything with one punch, and all he wants is a challenge, but he can destroy anything with one punch...so...
- Longmire (Netflix, 6 Seasons): Bit of a classic take on the law enforcement genre with some modern storytelling woven in. The final season is hitting Netflix in a few days.
- The Keepers (Netflix, 1 Season): Some Catholics that I know who have watched this series weren't super pumped on it, but it's well worth the watch. Documentary about a nun who found out that the head priest was sexually abusing girls, and she ended up dead.
- Narcos (Netflix, 3 Seasons): First two seasons tell the story of Pablo Escobar and are excellent, but the third season struggles a bit as it moves past Pablo's time. Still a good show, though.
- Luther (Netflix, 4 Seasons): Idris Elba plays a very smart British detective with anger problems. Very easy binge considering there are only four seasons, and two of the seasons are only four episodes and one is two episodes.
- The Confession Tapes (Netflix, 1 Season): Sometimes the only goal on a cop's mind is getting a confession, and whether the person did it or not doesn't really matter. This is about cases like that.
- Fargo (Hulu/FX, 3 Seasons): The Coen brothers aren't super involved in this series, but it definitely has a Coen Brothers vibe. If you like their stuff (like the original film), you'll like this series.
- Mr. Robot (USA, 3 Seasons): Definitely a show that is better when you watch all of the seasons in a relatively close time period. Lots of stuff going on in the story that you need to remember. Follows a hacker with some mental/personality problems.
Starts in 1919, about a street gang full of ex soldiers in Birmingham, England. Some of the actors have very dodgy Brummie accents but apart from that it's really good.
Pit Row
Add Hell on Wheels
Also, just want to let you know there's a show starting this Thursday on History called The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer. I'm in Canada so it might already have started in the US. Sometimes the dates align and they premiere on the same date but most of the time the shows start a couple weeks early in the US.
I haven't watched it but apparently another good show is Ray Donovan with Liev Schreiber. Season 6 starts in summer of 2018. He plays a professional "fixer" in LA for rich and famous people. He can make anyone's problems go away except those that were created by his own family.
Sopranos is so worthy I might watch have to watch it again, its been a few years now.
