TV nerds: what should I watch (slrpnk.net)

I haven't watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.

There's SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.

I'm open to anything, as long as it's well done.

Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)

I'm scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.

I'm very torn on disco. Season 2 is probably the best (due in no small part that it sets up SNW), but the rest are a chore to watch. Most of them have some neat ideas, but they're badly executed more often than not. They also were too heavy handed with each season arcs serialization, most episodes don't stand on their own, and the writing and consistency is just bad. I just finished the final season, and I'm glad they're done with it so they can put more money on good Trek like SNW - hopefully they don't screw it up eventually.
