What series impressed you ?
You can list the usual suspects
but if you know any, please share some hidden gems.
I, for one, like the following[not sure if you know about them or not but here goes]:
Black Mirror (TV series)
Mr. Robot (TV series) - This one is new. It's only 3 episodes in. It has been called a modern classic by Forbes, just after it's [free online] premiere. It's about a hacker, basically.[ so as not to spoil it]. It's just fantastic, in about everything it does.
Utopia (UK TV series)
Sherlock (TV series)
House of Cards (U.S. TV series)
Fargo (TV series)

I just learned about wiki tags. Didn't know we had support for auto-embedding wiki links.
Game of Thrones is my shite.
Shameless (US) is my other shite.
Big Brother (US) is my deep dark secret.

I even went as far as to read the books after watching the first season.

I even read the books after watching the first season. You don't even know. I have read the books twice and I regularly stalk the ASOIAF wiki. I love that series, and can't wait for The Winds of Winter to get released, hopefully before next season.

I'll have to reread everything before TWoW gets published.
