So here we go, in no particular order...
1) Boss
Mayor Tom Kane (Golden Globe® winner Kelsey Grammer) is King of Chicago, and he rules his domain with an iron fist. Deception, scandal, and betrayal go hand in hand with Kane’s form of politics. As long as he gets the job done, the people of Chicago look the other way. Despite being the most effective mayor in recent history, Kane is hiding a dark secret. A degenerative brain disorder is ripping everything away from him, and he can’t trust his memory, his closest allies, or even himself.
This is as high quality a program as you can get. It is also cool to see Kelsey Grammer as a character other than Frasier or Side Show Bob.
2) Sons Of Anarchy
Sons of Anarchy, aka SAMCRO, is a motorcycle club that operates both illegal and legal businesses in the small town of Charming. They combine gun-running and a garage, plus involvement in porn film. Clay, the president, likes it old school and violent; while Jax, his stepson and the club's VP, has thoughts about changing the way things are, based on his dead father's journal. Their conflict has effects on both the club and their personal relationships
I know allot of you have heard of this one but are still not watching. It is written and produced by one of the writers from "The Shield" (if you have not seen that one go shoot yourself in the head or go watch it because until you do your life is not worth living) also the same guy who played the Armenian hitman with the foot fetish.
3) Copper
Set in New York during the Civil war it deals with some pretty mature subject matter yet still feels like a network series which I do not like, but worth checking out, can't wait to see what season 2 will bring.
I just finished watching the first season of this one. Never heard of it 2 weeks ago. think "Gangs of New York" meets "Rome".
4) Homeland
So, Capt. Winters (He will always be Captain Winters to me) comes home, after 8 years of being held hostage by terrorists in Iraq, as a war hero and Manchurian Candidate. I find the story gets a little far fetched, but if you are not watching it you are way out of the loop here. It will keep you coming back, but at the end of the day it is allot of this:
5) The Walking Dead
Police officer Rick Grimes leads a group of survivors in a world overrun by zombies.
OK, I know what you are thinking, "I am not into zombies", I know I'm right, but you are wrong to dismiss this show because of that. It is not about zombies, it is about the survivors, and this is good shit. Do not miss out!
Ok, maybe top 5 is a little bit too short of a list so here are some shows that did not make the list for whatever reason, but mostly because there is no excuse that you are not already watching them:
Breaking BadBoardwalk Empire
Game of Thrones
Revolution
Spartacus
