It airs on USA Network, and there have been two seasons so far. Season 3 should be starting soon I imagine. The Americans is another great show, that one is on FX.

Fargo is pretty great. S1 is really good but S2 is downright amazing. I've yet to watch S3 but hear it's even better than 2.

Black Sails is epic if you're willing to invest the time.

As mentioned above S1 of True Detective is one of the best series I've EVER seen. Brilliant writing and performances.

Agreed. Nothing like it on television.

Mr Robot is great, and I'd suggest Handmaid's Tale.

I totally agree about Fargo, one of the best series on TV currently.

Black Sails is that good eh? I always see it playing on STARZ and the ads look good, but it has never truly piqued my interest enough to watch it.

I thought it was excellent. It's a bit of a slow burn at first but all the character development really pays off. If you have even a passing interest in pirates and history in general I doubt you'll ever see anything better covering the subject matter. Production value is extremely high, acting is impressive across the board, writing is layered and complex. Easily the best original series Starz has ever produced and probably my second favorite premium channel series to date, right behind Game of Thrones.

Wow, that's some high praise. I definitely don't mind a slow burn, I'll have to put this on my list of shows to check out.

looks like I have no way of watching mr.robot or black sails with the channels I have

I think ill go ahead and check out true detective season 1 though, i've heard lots of praise for that show from many people

im also kind of making my way through star trek voyager, I never really watched it when it first aired, im enjoying it, after that maybe ill check out deep space nine

American Gods S1: 8/10

I'm waiting to see this in hi-def, because I have a feeling it's going to look even more awesome, but if you enjoy a twisted take on religion, give this show a try. It's a little weird in parts, but after the finale it left me wanting more, so that's a good start for me.
