None of my suggestions made the list but that is only because Deadwood had already been mentioned before I got to it.

Timothy Olyphant is pretty hot so I'd say after Deadwood go straight to Justified.

If you like to hear the word "Cocksucker" a lot you definitely need to watch Deadwood.

i voted deadwood because it's great

silicon valley is also great but they're 30 minute episodes and the show is only 3 seasons long so he'd get through it in like one day

stranger things should have made the list


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

Justified is one of my favorite shows of all time. I'd recommend it and Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley will be quick to get through. Watch both immediately.

the best part about this poll is that ricky d knows enough to know that quality is more important than quantity and that deadwood is the clear winner here.

I've seen a few of them. they are good and ndt is btib, but I need something I can really "get into". something that really "edge of seats" me.

I think Mr. Robot is the only show I watch that isn't sports or reality. And if I'm forced to go to the Mariners game tonight, I'll probably take my iPad so I can rewatch last week's and be super prep'd for tomorrow's finale. So I voted for Mr. Robot.

Does Deadwood take a while to build up?  I have watched like 4 or 5 of them and it's pretty standard western meh stuff still.    :dunno:

Anyone who stops after the first 4-5 epis should, if they are being honest. 

Willing to listen if anyone wants to tell me that the show is just building for a while then goes nuts.   :dunno:

Otherwise, its stereotypical old'ish school western stuff.

Once Wild Bill dies (spoiler alert but not really cause history and stuff) in episode #4 the show will speed up.
