I can't tell you the last time I actually cared about serious characters. Best $3 I've spent in months (streamed it from Google Play, Amazon also has it, since I don't have TV).
Second episode was last night. Also excellent.

I think you would probably get addicted to Breaking Bad... The first mini season (6 episodes, I think) is good and it just gets better from there. Metacritic rates the seasons on a 1-100 scale:

74, 85, 89, 96, 99

And I have been very pleasantly surprised by Hannibal. Frankly, I can't believe NBC has put something like that on the air. I think I'm beginning to prefer Mads Mikkelson's version of the character to Anthony Hopkins' version - which is saying something. Review of the pilot here:

And I cannot recommend Sherlock enough.
