Homeland
Described by the (the New Yorker or New York Magazine, I forget) as "24 for adults." Clare Danes may have described the Philippines as a country of cockoroaches but she sure does well as a paranoid, looney CIA agent. I forgive her. This one may really show who the real enemies are.
Suits
Don Draper has Doogie Howser as his sidecick. They all work in Ally Mcbeal's office. Another response to all the mud slinging against lawyers, or an attempt to show that not all of them are sharks in suits.
Boardwalk Empire (Season 2)
Shows about prohibition are always perfect with beer. The challenge of writers and producers is that audiences can predict plots. This season makes sacrifices to keep us surprised. It kills its own main characters, or commits transgressions against itself - that in the end seem not only believable, but logical.
