Press Launch for the Second Series is on the 16th June

So probably gonna be shown early July!

Rectify is another shout
 
Hannibal. No Seriously People need to check this show out. Its one of the Best Prequel Adaptation of a book series i've ever seen. This show should be winning Emmys Left to Right.
 

Plinko

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Impractical Jokers.

Funniest show out there right now.

Vikings

Thread is relatively quiet, but the show is pretty damn good. Anyone who liked Spartacus would enjoy it a great deal even though it is more restrained than that

I've watched most of the shows listed in this thread and some are talked about at least a little bit, some aren't worth talking about and some are definitely not getting the play they deserve. My vote for least talked about but best show definitely goes to Turn. So good...best show on AMC.

I know its a popular show and its been on for a while but Justified. I can't get 1 friend or family member to watch it and none of them believe me that it is one of the best shows on television. Season 2 of Justified is probably my favorite season of any television show ever.
 
Only one mention of Person of Interest?

It saddens me that one of the best shows on TV is so chronically underrated... even in a thread about chronically underrated shows.
 
Rick and Morty
Broad City
Anyone who likes Broad City should also watch Inside Amy Schumer. Really kills it in the second season with some amazing sketches like the female military videogame. And the self-derecating women one that is a running segment. Some great dark comedy.

Yeah, the concentration on location, characters and atmosphere of season 2 is simply stunning.


Another vote for Veep. Funniest thing on TV, hits me out of nowhere so that I just can't stop laughing, also overall well written.

Happy Valley.

I came in to mention this if it wasn't already. This is a gripping BBC drama in a similar vein as the Wire. It's not as good as the acclaimed US show but it's one of the best dramas I've seen on the BBC since the likes of Luther.

Went in expecting nothing, ended up having to watch all 5 currently released episodes as soon as possible it was that enticing.

I've not always been a fan of Sarah Lancashire but she really sells it in this with a great performance. Definite contender for BAFTA TV Best Actress.
 
Silicon Valley, by Mike Judge (Office Space, Idiocracy, King of the Hill, Beavis and Butthead).

The last episode of the first season (only 8 eps) has the greatest jerking off joke ever.

Only one mention of Person of Interest?

Getting to this now after Watch Dawgs. Too many episodes though lol.

well why would i watch something like person of interest i am a smart, savvy internet learned person and i would rather enjoy watching the heavily serialized adventures of cable than lower myself to watch cbs shlock where nothing happens every week and there are no consequences like i am a geriatric that watches ncis

Revenge! Such great soapy fun that got better this season.

Also The Middle. Eden Sher's Sue character is a thing to behold.
 
Haven't heard much about Happy Valley and I'm in the UK. Will get to it now especially hearing about complaints made about the violence (Utopia got those too and that was amazing).

I don't believe PoI is underrated. Imo probably the best show on TV right now

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.

Don't forget about China, il. I gave it a chance and now I love it. Saw the end of an episode for rick and morty and I liked what I saw. Rick and morty are basically marty mcfly and doc brown from back to the future. I like the back to the future cartoon too. Give CHINA, IL a chance.

Continuum Season 3 is really really good so far. It's finally found it's stride after an okay season 1 and a decent season 2.

Hannibal - I have only been able to convince a single person to watch this show so far and he absolutely loves it. Everyone else writes it off because they think they already seen the best of the franchise and boy are they wrong.

Hannibal is easily my favorite show on the air and continues to blow away my expectations. People not convinced just need to take a leap of faith I guess.

I guess I would say Justified or the Americans. But Justified gets talked about by critics. I would argue, not a lot tv watchers talk about it (it doesn't get the hype it deserves).
