    Not in any real order...

    The Shield

    The Wire

    Fringe

    Deadwood

    Justified

    Mad Men

    The Strain

    The Expanse

    Breaking Bad

    The Sopranos


    Ones I watched that woulda, coulda, shoulda..

    Sons of Anarchy - brought down by a weak lead actor, excess pretentiousness and PC.
    Billions- just turned into two guys trying to prove who has the bigger johnson.
    American Horror Story- wildly inconsistent. Enjoyed Season 2 (Asylum) and 4 (Freakshow) but that was it.
    Homeland- sans Damian Lewis it turned into the Claire Danes School of Hysterical Over-Acting.
    Carnival- just missed the cutoff.
    Better Call Saul- Too much time spent on developing Saul Goodman.
    Tyrant- Lead actor having zero charisma and gravitas sank this one despite a wealth of possibilities and Melia Kreiling (the epitome of window dressing).
    South Park- is it just me or did the show get less funny as the animation got better?
    Ray Donovan- great cast and acting but he should have been in jail after the first season. Got way too dark and hopeless.
    Walking Dead- They kept killing off the cast members that I liked and took too long to kill off the kid. Heck, he was getting to be nearly as tall as his dad! Gave up on it a few seasons ago.
    Law & Order- prime seasons were in the 90's.
    Fargo- like American Horror Story, just too hit and miss.
    Rescue Me- great start but it just turned into a how-much-can-we-pile-on-the-guy. Made me wish the whole cast perished in a cataclysmic inferno. You need at least ONE character you give a **** about in a series.
    Preacher- great first season but then it all kind of fell apart.

    Just my opinion I thought season three was horrible. A huge drop off from season one.

    First season definitely gave of that vibe. Glad I stuck with it though.

    Quite frankly, I am shocked that nobody mentioned either The Littlest Groom or that show with Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie living on a farm or something.

    I would also recommend Justified (on FX Now - 78 episodes 2010-15) starring Timothy Olyphant playing a similar role to the one he played in Deadwood. You can also play spot the Deadwood actors with roles in Justified, it's more than one.
