I'd love to see what this user-base has to recommend. I figure I'll knock out some of the obvious choices to start off with. These are shows that I think you really, really should check out.
Comedy:
Party Down, Peep Show, Freaks & Geeks, Monkey Dust, Nighty Night, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Eastbound & Down, Workaholics, Trailer Park Boys, Bored To Death, Summer Heights High, Kroll Show, Kenny vs. Spenny
Drama:
Breaking Bad, House of Cards, The Wire, Oz, Game of Thrones, Homeland, The Sopranos
I thought I'd knock those out as some of the "obvious" ones, so maybe we can go help each other find out some new stuff!
