Hey! Thanks for starting this post. I am sure I will be able to find worth watching shows here. I would like to add shows by Andy Yeatman to the list because I am watching these shows right now and trust me these are fantastic.

The Australian series Secret City. Available on Netflix. Espionage, politics and journalism thriller, nicely done.

Pine Gap is another good Aussie one with espionage and intrigue right up to final scene.

Bad Blood on Montreal crime boss Rizzuto escapades.

Maniac shows Jonah Hill and Emma Stone and Justin Theroux in a different light than most of what they do.

Steve Van Zandt cast in witness-protection like portrayal of Norwegian citizen, Giovanni Henriksen in Lillyhammer is a fun watch.

Marcella is a dark Brit detective thriller with a strong woman lead.

Fauda is an Israeli special force thriller that is subtitled and pretty much about everything that can be read in news after the fact.

Mindhunter on beginnings of FBI Behavioral Unit.

Peaky Blinders is must see TV

River is another Brit detective series tracking a detective who has lost his partner by his fault.

Marvel's Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and The Defenders bring the comic book action figures to the small screen in an entertaining manner.

Nobel is a Scandinavian saga from military actions in Afghanistan to life in Norway with a touch of intrigue. English subtitled.

The Fall has Gillian Anderson as a tormented Brit detective on hunt for serial killer with twists and turns.

Safe has Dextor as a dad with missing children. Crazy plot, no insane.

Tidelands is an Australian grifter series with "sirens" and pretty decent contrived plot.

Agreed. Ive been watching it on a loop.

Also, Neal Brennan: 3 Mics is really good. If you like stand-up and you're not an emotional cripple.

I just listened to Nebraska the other day and told myself to never again let 6 months go by without hearing it.

Have watched a few of Letterman's show, My Next Guest....was never a regualar of his late night show, but I do find his interviews entertaining.

His interview with Jay-Z was fascinating - considering where and how this kid grew up, he is a true American success story.
