JUSTIFIED (Timothy Olyphant - Walton Goggins - Joelle Carter - Nick Searcy) - 6 seasons and I've gone through them twice - will take a pause and probably do it again!

DEADWOOD - Some have listed this series as one of the top 3 shows EVER - and I'll not argue. Brilliant writing and amazing acting by superior people, and, coincidentally, Timothy Olyphant is one of them.

To be honest, I "got into them" as I am working my way towards dropping cable and I've got Amazon Prime - and that's where I found these. Things ain't lookin' good for cable!!!

Give those a hard pass.

Battlestar Galactica is amazing until the last episode, which is absolute explosive diarrhea levels of shitty. Seriously, fuck those people for that ending.

Firefly is pure perfection, and you get a bonus feature film at the end!

10. The Shield. Justified. Longmire. La Femme Nikita.

The Shield grabs you and doesn't let go until the end of the finale. Incredible series.

Justified is exceptional, too. Walt Goggins plays a major role in both this series and The Shield.

Longmire moves a bit slower than the other two, but is pretty engrossing.

La Femme Nikita (the first series with Peta Wilson) is a very well-done, paranoia-inducing series.

I just love the period setting and there are some great British actors in the series. Most of the complaints are that the films aren't true to the literature, but if you haven't read Christie's work, you probably won't have an issue with the video series.

22. Breaking Bad was my greatest win.

Only saw the last episode as it originally aired. Eventually decided to watch the whole series and after a while I just got a rush every night looking forward to watching another episode.

Other wins....The Last Kingdom, Ozark (thus far), When They See Us, Bloodline, The IT Crowd, Big Mouth.

Four out of five seasons of The Wire I watched on a binge, so I suppose that counts as well.

Justified has a great cast of character actors, with clever meaty scripts that let them go to work.

Bosch is a police procedural based on Michael Connelly's books. Great cast and interesting scripts.

I also enjoyed the Marvel Comic adaptations on Netflix (Daredevil, Luke Cage, The Punisher,). But i understand that they have been "canceled".

Sam Elliott (for the women)
Ashton Kutcher (actually very good in this)
Danny Masterson (before he was a sex offender)
Debra Winger (A.MAZING)
Elisha Cuthbert (great follow-up to 24)

Language is a little rough, but maybe the best show on Netflix

of Fleabag went too fast for me. But the others so stand out. Quite something too to go from the role actor plays in Happy Valley to that in Grantchester, which I will catch up on one of these days.

Powerful. The story of a man wrongly convicted and on death row, released, then having to deal with the PTSD resulting from it. Excellent.
