    All time and in no particular order.

    Black Sails. Pirate action. All the sex and violence of GOT with less chatter.

    Penny Dreadful. Eva Green and Timothy Dalton as 1800s vampire hunters.

    Monarch. Giant monsters and cut throat politics makes a great combination.

    I, Claudius. Old BBC series about the first four Roman Emperors. Look for a very young Patrick Stewart.

    The Prisoner. Another oldie. Franz Kafka and Ian Fleming got together and did an episode of Dr. Who.

    The Americans. Soviet spies undercover in 1980s Washington, DC.

      Another vote for “The Prisoner” and “I Claudius”. Claudius starts slow, but picks up after the first episode.

        This is how my A.B.normal brain works.

        You say Black Sails doesn’t get enough attention. That reminds me of all the under rated actors out there, which reminds me of ‘Doom Patrol’ with Brendan Frasier and April Bowlby.

        Now I have to add the first three seasons of Doom Patrol to the list…

        Also, Ozark…
