Best current TV Shows no one is talking about.

There are shows with huge buzz, like True Detective. But there are also a lot of good shows that no one is talking about. What are some of the shows you like but they seem not to get a lot of attention?
Mine is Banshee. This show is simply amazing. It has THE BEST fight scenes on TV, amazing cast, some humor and a lot of gore and nudity. Show won't win "Best Drama" awards, but it's so good at what it does.

The best television show "no one" talks about is Rectify, actually.

Everyone talks about Fargo, as they should.

Crisis is a middling affair.

Banshee turned procedural in the second season, and the writing was never more than "good enough to get you to the next plot point or action sequence or sex scene."
 
I haven't got around to watching this yet, but I'm hearing lots of rumblings that I should. Better binge before it falls off iPlayer.

Last episode is tonight! I'm hoping they leave room for another series. It's been intense as fuck. So good.

Friends with Better Lives. CBS must be full of idiots for cancelling that show. It's hilarious with a great cast and has potential to keep getting better. Shame on them. One of the best shows they've introduced in awhile

Hannibal. Maybe not around here, but I've only come across one other person I know who has even seen it.

Best looking TV series I have ever seen. Great, unique music. Story itself is a bit meh but whatever.

I agree, it's the best looking show I've ever seen too, it's going to be interesting to see where the story goes in series 2.

you speak so well

Yep. Hopefully it gets more attention going into the second season.

Runner up is Shameless. It has its problems but it's wildly entertaining and Emmy Rossum is fantastic.

If Hannibal counts then that as well. I think it gets a good amount of discussion, at least on here. I only know one other person irl that watches it.

All of you are naming shows from major networks, yet, somehow, none of you know people in real life who watch or have heard of these shows.

Where the hell do you people live?

For me it's The Returned.

The French version that is.

IMO one of the best new shows on television with a brilliantly unique approach to a familiar concept, executed near flawlessly on every level.

Wait, seriously? I'll admit that I never watched it, but it looked awful. At least Brooklyn Decker was some solid eye candy.

It was terrible.

It was so terrible, in fact, not even CBS wants it anymore.

CBS, the network that brings you the worst sitcoms on television, didn't. Want. It. Yeah.

I couldn't get passed the pilot. It was just awful. I can certainly see why it was cancelled.

Trophy Wife or Surviving Jack on the other hand, I don't quite understand.

Rick and Morty is terrific. The best show adult swim has had in a long time -- or ever actually now that I think about it.
