What to watch?

[wasabi_poptart]

Now that the water ballet is over, I am looking forward to some quality downtime of knitting and sloth and teevee. What should I watch? I feel like I've seen everything on Netflix streaming ... I need recommendations!

Shows I've already watched every episode of and really enjoyed (within the past year):
House of Cards (US version)
Orange is the New Black
Hell on Wheels (both seasons)
Call the Midwife (the season already on Netflix, plus the second season which just somehow magically appeared on my hard drive one day)
Ripper Street
Bob's Burgers
Oddities
The IT Crowd
The Vikings (also not sure how that one appeared on my hard drive, but lo and behold there it was!)
Torchwood (even though the last season SUCKED)
Friday Night Lights
Sherlock

Shows I made myself plod through to the bitter end, though I didn't think much of:
Copper
World Without End
The Crimson Petal and the White
Nurse Jackie
Weeds (actually didn't get through the fifth season, but by then I'd seen enough)

Shows I liked at first but eventually got so bad I gave up on them:
Misfits
Heroes
Spartacus
Weeds
Being Human (UK version)
Lie to Me
The Walking Dead

Shows I started but could not get into:
Luther
Pretty Little Liars (sorry, Miriam, it was just too stupid)
Snuffbox
The West Wing
Hemlock Grove
Archer
House of Cards (UK version)
Bones
House
Six Feet Under

Ongoing shows I'm all caught up with:
Madmen
Game of Thrones
Vampire Diaries
Hannibal
The Killing (up through last season)
True Blood (up through last season)
Dexter (up through last season)
Downton Abbey
Justified
American Horror Story (first season)
Lost Girl

(BTW, I don't have cable, just Netflix, and now that I get my internet through Xfinity, no more bit-torrenting shows magically appearing on my hard drive anymore)

I hadn't realized that you had given 'Archer' a try already. Ah well.

I've heard amazing things about 'Downton Abbey' (Maggie Smith, being snarky in a costume drama. What's not to love?) but I hadn't started on that yet. Ditto, 'Torchwood', but for completely different reasons.

The UK (original) 'House of Cards' series, from what I've seen, is pretty engrossing if one can ignore the dated styles and such. I've seen the first several episodes. If you like 'Madmen' and the US 'House of Cards', then you'd probably like the UK version too? Or was the US version simply a remake of the UK version?

All caught up on Downton, and already seen all of Torchwood.

Could not get into the UK version of House of Cards.
