What to watch
4I just recently discovered this song, and I love it. But it made me think it might be time to watch True Blood. Sometimes I watch shows from the moment that they debut, other times I have let years go by before I try them out.
What shows are on your must-watch list? Especially if they aren't as popular as this one, if they seemed to go under most everyone's radar. And which shows that were or are popular are grossly overrated in your eyes?

I have been wanting to watch The Americans and Grimm. Both shows look great, but I just don't have the time.
@conandlibrarian I've watched Grimm from the beginning. Highly entertaining show. Not exactly deep but sometimes mindless entertainment wins out.
@conandlibrarian We watched and really loved the two seasons, then missed some episodes so fell off track. But YAY Netflix.
The Walking Dead is about the only show i watch consistently. i also need to watch Z Nation (thanks @cinoclav and @jaremelz)
@carl669 You really need to give it a shot. The glory days of Sci-fi channel returned.
I discovered Orphan Black on amazon prime, and enjoyed it a good bit. Never heard much buzz about it but I also don't tend to watch or know about much tv.
@djslack Another one I keep meaning to check out.
@djslack it's really good. Another good one but a little older is doll house if you like orphan black. No it's nothing about little dolls in a playhouse its an interesting concept. I can't remember much about it actually which makes me want to research it cause it was good. I think only 2 seasons.
Some good choices:
Mr. Robot
Dead Like Me
Dollhouse
Burn Notice
@dashcloud I love Mr. Robot, Rami Malek is exceptional in it. My husband watched Burn Notice, but I never really sat down and tried to get into it.
@dashcloud woah read my fucking mind on dollhouse.
The Strain
Rick and Morty
Gravity Falls
Last Week Tonight
Bob's Burgers
Whose line
Everything else is garbage.
@jaremelz You have never watched True Blood? You have some catching up to do then.
@mfladd I've never seen it either :) I don't know. I have a lot of other series to catch up on.
I have such a long list of things I've never seen that are highly recommended, starting with Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Scandal and The Good Wife are supposed to be good. I've seen a few episodes of House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, really need to continue those, as well.
Now I'm considering the zombie shows, thanks to @jaremelz. Maybe I need to spend less time on meh?
@KDemo I binged Scandal over the summer. Totally enjoyed it.
@KDemo I don't tend to get into shows like Scandal and The Good Wife, although I've got a couple total tough guy friends who love them.
Warning on True Blood: there were two seasons that were real stinkers. I loved the show and watched it religiously. I also read the books which were much funny than the show.
Is Penny Dreadful available? I loved it. Season 1 is better than 2, but still, it kept me in there. Can't wait for next season.
@Teripie I adore Penny Dreadful!
Dead Like Me

I have rewatched it a couple times over the years and its funny how it means different things every time I watch it.
