- CreatorMark FrostDavid LynchStarsKyle MacLachlanMichael OntkeanMädchen AmickAn idiosyncratic FBI agent investigates the murder of a young woman in the even more idiosyncratic town of Twin Peaks.High priority. I really liked it at the start, now my attention is waning. I still want to watch this before the newly announced revived season starts.
Seasons 1/2
4 Episodes watched. - CreatorGreg BerlantiMarc GuggenheimAndrew KreisbergStarsStephen AmellKatie CassidyDavid RamseySpoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead when his yacht is lost at sea. He returns five years later a changed man, determined to clean up the city as a hooded vigilante armed with a bow.High priority. Stuck in the bland part of the series. Hard to get through, but I know it'll payoff.
1/3 Seasons.
8 Episodes. - CreatorGraham YostStarsTimothy OlyphantNick SearcyJoelle CarterEnforcing his own brand of justice, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, a strong-willed, quiet law-man haunted by his past, returns to his native town to see that justice is served to those in need.High priority. The first season was bland to me, and the second, which is often regarded as it's very best, was a lot better, but I felt it didn't quite live up to the hype, despite having some great episodes and one truly masterful episode, "Brother's Keeper."
However, I still want to continue, and the finale season got a great response amongst fans and critics.
2 out of 6 Seasons. - CreatorDavid MilchStarsTimothy OlyphantIan McShaneMolly ParkerA show set in the late 1800s, revolving around the characters of Deadwood, South Dakota; a town of deep corruption and crime.High Priority. One of the last upper echelon TV Dramas I have yet to watch. One of the most acclaimed TV shows on this list, Top 5 no doubt.
- CreatorSteven S. DeKnightStarsAndy WhitfieldLucy LawlessManu BennettThe life of Spartacus, the gladiator who lead a rebellion against the Romans. From his time as an ally of the Romans, to his betrayal and becoming a gladiator, to the rebellion he leads and its ultimate outcome.High priority. I think this could become on of my favorite shows.
- CreatorJenji KohanStarsTaylor SchillingDanielle BrooksTaryn ManningConvicted of a decade-old crime of transporting drug money, ordinarily law-abiding Piper Chapman is sentenced to 18 months behind bars and quickly discovers the realities of life-changing prison time.High priority. One of the most talked about shows of the moment.

MooreStarsEdward James OlmosMary McDonnellJamie BamberWhen an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony, Earth.High priority.

- CreatorTerence WinterStarsSteve BuscemiKelly MacdonaldMichael ShannonAn Atlantic City politician plays both sides of the law by conspiring with gangsters during the Prohibition era.High priority. Looks to be a quality drama. It's well regarded and often talked about.
- CreatorGreg BerlantiGeoff JohnsAndrew KreisbergStarsGrant GustinCandice PattonDanielle PanabakerAfter being struck by lightning, Barry Allen wakes up from his coma to discover he's been given the power of super speed, becoming the Flash, and fighting crime in Central City.High priority. Shame I need to sit through the rest of the dull first Season of Arrow to finally get to the second season, which is going to be a lot better - I know it , and then to finally get to The Flash.
- CreatorJonathan NolanStarsJim CaviezelTaraji P. HensonKevin ChapmanAn ex-CIA agent and a wealthy programmer save lives via a surveillance AI that sends them the identities of civilians involved in impending crimes. However, the details of the crimes, including the civilians' roles, are left a mystery.High priority. This, Game of Thrones, The Leftovers, and The Flash are the shows I feel the most angry about not being caught up on when I heard people talking about how good they are.

I've seen most of Season 3, had no way to watch the previous seasons for free. I sort of just jumped in, something I don't usually do. I liked what I saw, and I didn't continue with Season 4, because that's the worst season. I would like to start from the start, and watch all the way up to Season 6. - CreatorChris CarterStarsDavid DuchovnyGillian AndersonMitch PileggiTwo F.B.I. Agents, Fox Mulder the believer and Dana Scully the skeptic, investigate the strange and unexplained, while hidden forces work to impede their efforts.Medium Priority.

- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and nights committing them.Low priority. I know how it ends, and I also know that people say that Seasons 6 and 8 are awful. Season 8 is the last season also, and the finale supposedly suck too.
- CreatorAlex GansaHoward GordonStarsClaire DanesMandy PatinkinDamian LewisA bipolar CIA operative becomes convinced a prisoner of war has been turned by al-Qaeda and is planning to carry out a terrorist attack on American soil.Low priority. Another showtime show where many say the quality has dropped significantly. However, I've heard the newest season had turned some things around.
- CreatorMichelle AshfordStarsMichael SheenLizzy CaplanCaitlin FitzGeraldDrama about the pioneers of the science of human sexuality whose research touched off the sexual revolution.Low priority. I don't have that big of an interest, but it could be something worth seeing eventually.

Would shrug this off without a thought if it wasn't from critics and awards buzz.
- CreatorJennie Snyder UrmanStarsGina RodriguezAndrea NavedoYael GrobglasA young, devout Catholic woman discovers that she was accidentally artificially inseminated.Low priority. Gets great reviews.
- CreatorRod SerlingStarsRod SerlingRobert McCordJay OverholtsOrdinary people find themselves in extraordinarily astounding situations, which they each try to solve in a remarkable manner.Low priority. Much older than anything I've ever watched.
- CreatorJ.J. AbramsAlex KurtzmanRoberto OrciStarsAnna TorvJoshua JacksonJohn NobleAn F.B.I. agent is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist and his son in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena.Low priority. Worth a watch someday, just not soon.
- CreatorTrey ParkerMatt StoneBrian GradenStarsTrey ParkerMatt StoneIsaac HayesFollows the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctional town of South Park, Colorado.Low priority. Is surely funny, but I don't feel a strong need to watch the whole series anytime soon.
- CreatorNathan FielderMichael KomanStarsNathan FielderAnthony FilosaSalomon FloresNathan Fielder uses his business degree and life experiences to help real small businesses turn a profit.
