Rectify on Sundance is excellent. Season just ended, but you can watch on demand. Murder in the First on TNT is also good. I really like Elementary on CBS. New season coming up. Father Brown on PBS is worth watching online.

I've been enjoying watching Gavin & Stacey with my daughter.
I Googled it, too. A British romantic comedy. Not yet here on PBS, which is where we get all the British programs.I've been watching The Forsyte Saga. Frustrated privileged early 1900s stalker plays a big role. Now moving to the next generation.
Have just started watching the mini series Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Dickens meets magic.
I also watched the Poldark series, excellent.
Both these are British.

Star Trek recently had a 50-year anniversary, and I recorded all the original programs. I watch one when I'm in the mood.
I'm watching Grace and Frankie on Netflix. Older women have a life. Lily Tomlin makes it interesting.
Stranger Things is pretty good if you like sci-fi/fantasy. One I'd recommend for sure is Mr. Mercedes. Brendan Gleeson is great in this.
I'd recommend Black Mirror, if you haven't tried it. I find myself thinking about some of the episodes when things happen in real life. This season's first episode was a doozy that explored bullying and sexual harassment. It was based on the original Star Trek.
Preacher.I believe it's on AMC. I just finished watching season 2 and I'm still loving it. You might be able to see older episodes on their web site.
"Z Nation" on SyFy (and Netflix). Imagine "The Walking Dead" with a sense of humor and 25 times the splatter and you're nearly there.
It is pretty good. King's work is finally in capable hands. Some of the other adaptations weren't done very well.
I am getting recommendations to watch "Taken" the TV series. It has not gotten the highest ratings, (there is some obvious anti-French behavior going on because of some of the creators) that I've been told to ignore.If anyone has watched it I'm seeking more commentary to decided whether to watch.
I watched all of "Taken" until it was canceled. It was probably the most violent show I've seen on network TV. I liked it enough to keep watching, though they certainly were able to follow some extremely tenuous threads to complete their missions. It might be a good binge watch when you're bored.
Couldn't get into "Preacher," but "Good Behavior" is one I'd also recommend.I have Hulu, and I watched the first episode of the British comedy "Absolutely Fabulous." I still laugh when I think of a couple of scenes. Nonsense, really, but fun.
I've been watching "Very Cavallari" and "Bachelor in Paradise."
I never paid attention to Jay Cutler when he was playing football, but he's surprisingly amusing on Very Cavallari. Very wry and gives off an I-don't-give-a-shit vibe but is also reading books to "improve himself." The other storylines are unappealing.

He was 'good' at improving himself for over a decade playing football. He just wasn't good enough to start to ever get to good enough in the end. He was very good at securing contracts that paid him a lot of money to have that vibe that in the NFL was called LOSING IMPORTANT BALLGAMES.
His wife, well she's blonde too.
The Deuce season 2 premiere didn't do much for me. One interesting plot line introduced concerns a murder. Could a serial killer be lurking along the edges of 42nd street?
