Maybe I'm too picky, but nothing is grabbing me much. Nathan For You is kind of funny but what I really want is a really good drama without being too pornish. I am disappointed so far. I like comedy but prefer a drama with a suspenseful or emotional plot, to binge watch at times. I hate really good shows with like ten episodes and then ends abruptly. I want something with like six seasons or more lol.
I'd love some suggestions!

I was about to suggest "The Unusuals" until your last sentence! LOL! It's one that had 10ish episodes. It's a police drama with a few light moments - quirky characters. Stars Jeremy Renner and Amber Tamblyn.
I'll be watching this thread to see what everyone comes up with!

I started watching Sons of Anarchy on my Kindle through Prime a couple years ago. This is definitely not a family friendly show due to the sex and violence, but it sucked me in. It's now nearing the end of it's final season.

Brotherhood was really good. I think it was 3 or 4 seasons long. It revolved around an Irish family from Providence, RI. One brother was a politician, and the other a criminal.

Not long enough for you but I found Extant really good and creepy. I love the Big C also- watched it all on TV then again on instant video. The Tudors is great, but none of these are the long long series you are craving ,

The Wire is my all time favorite TV series. It has several seasons (5, I think?), really complex characters, complicated situations & even a few laughs.

I've been watching Veronica Mars on it. Also, I loved Lark Rise to Candleford.

I LOVE Six Feet Under. I was sad when it was over...one of those shows where you feel like the cast is family.
The Good Wife is pretty good. I'm watching Big Love now and I like it but it's taking me a while to get through it.
I'm also watching Orange is The New Black on Netflix- wow! Now that's a show!

Last Tango in Halifax is really good. Call the Midwife, too.

The Good Wife. I watched it the first couple seasons on tv, but got behind so I've been watching it over the last couple months on Amazon. It's such a great show.
My next series will Big Love. I've actually watched all but the last season so that will be quick to finish up. Next in the queue is Homeland.

Friday Night Lights
Very little is actually about football. It's about people and families and friends and relationships. My favorite series ever!

Another vote for The Good Wife. DH and I have been binge watching it for the past few weeks. Just started season 3, and still loving it!
