Or just read the books instead, but I dunno if you like fantasy stuff. They're great.
In terms of recent shows...honestly even the ones I like have disappointed me lately. I used to be a huge Homeland fan, but S2 really shat in my cereal. S3 was a strong rebound, but I dunno about the show's long term potential. Likewise Downton Abbey had a great first season but has fallen since then, although I still enjoy it for the characters.
do you like American Horror Story? It started so good, for a couple episodes...then turned to shit.
