How do we not have a thread to discuss what we're watching?!?
I'm looking for some reccomendations for some hour long dramas, as I was looking at what seasons of shows I'm currently taking in, and they are literally all half hour comedies.
I guess I love my immature animation... I have just started season 2 of Rick and Morty, and it is one of the funniest animated series out there today IMO. Wubba lubba dub dub!
What are you guys and gals watching?

Shows I'm currently addicted to:
Better Call Saul
Fargo
The Americans
Orphan Black
Game of Thrones
Stranger Things
If you're in the mood for crazy over-the-top violence and ridiculous amounts of gratuitous nudity, I highly recommend watching all 4 seasons of Banshee. Very entertaining show.
I also revisited SSN 1 of True Detective recently. What a brilliant series that was. SSN 2 was such a letdown by comparison, but it's not easy to follow Woody and McConaughey. That first season was lightning in a bottle.

The leftovers - the third and final season completed - and the whole series is awesome

Fargo (movie) and seasons 1/2 along with S1 of True Detectives would all make my top 10. Haven't watched S3 yet.
Wife and I just finished the Leftovers. Some great acting and music (score?) with that show. In an era full of formulaic fiction, remakes, sequels etc. I appreciate original writing where you have no idea what to expect.
Now we're trying to love the new Twin Peaks season as much as we loved the originals, and about to pick back up where we left off with The Americans current season.

I guess I will list my current favourite shows as well...
Westworld (duh)
Game of Thrones (double duh)
Fear The Walking Dead (because they haven't had 7 seasons to fuck it up yet)
Bates Motel (Loved this entire series)
Jessica Jones (The best of the Marvel series IMO)
Comedies;
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (If you're a 30 Rock fan, you'll love this)
Bob's Burgers (fun for the whole family!)
Rick and Morty (fun for the whole family that is 18+!)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
F is for Family
Curb Your Enthusiasm (I'm on a rewatch, getting prepped for the new season this fall!)

Just finished this season's House of Cards and thought it was phenomenal. Spacey and Wright are pure evil, and the parallels with the current US political climate are spot on.

Anybody watching "Ozark" on Netflix? I haven't had a chance to start it yet. From the trailer it looked pretty good, just curious of any opinions.

It's dark, but it's fantastic.
