Well, for what it's worth, I started watching Veronica Mars by myself, then soon had my fiancée and her two roommates into it. It's light, but not too light (everything from missing dogs to rape and murder cases), and there's plenty of wit and truly fantastic characters, once you get to know them. If the high school setting and age range of the main characters don't scare you off, there's a good chance it'll be a nice fit for you and your wife.

Black Sails is quite good. Just finished Season 3 this evening.
Need something new fellas... everything I'm watching (except GOT) is on break... vikings, suits, walking dead, better call saul, etc.
What are you guys watching?!?
Haven't read through this thread much to know if it's been mentioned, but I'm half way through season 1 of Narcos and it's pretty good so far.
I'm now halfway through season 2 of Mad Men and I'm hooked. The character development is really deep. Now I'm pounding through episodes. It's really well written.
Thanks
I tried the 100, but it's so weak in character development. Whenever I run out of shows, I go back 10-15 years to find something different. I've watched almost everything good from the last 20 years. What havent you watched from some of the top shows?

The Americans is one of the best shows on TV. Great mix of action, drama, thriller, and suspense. Good acting and story. Highly recommend it.
Stuff I have watched that is good:
GOT, SOA, Breaking Bad, Saul, Orange/Black, 24, Prison Break, Lost, Heroes, Desperate Houswives, Sopranos, Entourage, Raymond, Grey's, Alias, Scandal, Get away with Murder, Gotham, House, True Detective, Damages, Homeland, Friday night lights, OTH, Gossip Girl, House of Cards, The Killing,
Some of these you have to stop before they suck, lol. But I can recommend all of them depending on your mindset.
I know there are so many that I am forgetting. But these are just off the top of my head.

Don't mistake opinion for fact.
I've been really liking Gotham. I was worried it would move too quickly at first, but it's all getting ramped up nicely now.
Bruce still isn't even thinking about being Batman. It's got a lot of room to grow.
Blacklist is another I've enjoyed. But it got a bit crazy last season. Still liking it -- and I love a show that is willing to...well no spoilers...but it's gutsy.

Wife and I just ripped thru Seasons 1 & 2 of The Leftovers (HBO).
Big thumbs up. Huge hook in very first scene + excellent character acting/casting of some very flawed characters in small New York town.
Season 2 is actually better than Season 1. (and shifts to small Texas town w/same key character group)
Season 3 comes out in fall, I believe.
10 episodes, 1hr long, per season.
So the length of a single season is same as GoT.
I'm not sure anybody has referenced that show in this thread...
...I find most of my tastes are inline with what people have recommended, so I'd have to guess a bunch of you would like this.
I just finished season 1 of Vinyl. It was good, but I was a little disappointed in it to be honest. I felt it was a little all over the place, and not a good flow of storylines mixing in with each other. I'll watch season 2 when it comes out but I think the show still has room for improvement. Now the struggle to find the next HBO/HBO like show to watch...
