Default Recommend Me a TV Series to Netflix

My wife and I don't watch much TV but when we do we typically will NetFlix an entire series and watch every season that we can.

I've listed ones that we've seen and like. Her tastes are somewhat different than mine but we usually agree for the most part.

1) Dexter
2) Oz
3) Sopranos
4) The Wire
5) True Blood
6) Mad Men
7) Breaking Bad
8) The Shield - currently watching
9) 24


Lost will likely be a recommendation and I'm sure we'll get around to seeing it, but for now that one's on hold.

I've been getting into Satisfaction recently, a Showtime Australia series that you can stream online thru Netflix. It's a pretty good series revolving around the lives of workers at an upscale bordello.

"The 4400" was a pretty decent show that's entirely on DVD now. It's like mixture of "X-Files" and "Heroes" if you're into the sci-fi/action genre and MUCH better than the latter show.

Firefly
Arrested Development

Although these all have more comedy than any of the shows you listed (especially Arrested Development)

Not sure if this counts as a "show", but I'll go ahead and recommend Band of Brothers.
