I’m about five episodes away from the series finale of Justified (and don’t you dare goddamn spoil it for me, Internet). Some folks like the Wire, some folks like Breaking Bad, and I won’t say anything against those; but I have so much freaking FUN with Justified. It’s got great character, just one step below comic books, but in a good way. The dynamic between the central protagonist and the central antagonist is among the best on any show; I certainly can’t think of a pair of nemeses on television that have so effectively sustained an entire series. Plus, it makes me laugh all the time. Dark, dark humor, but so funny. That’d be my recommendation. ---

Yeah, I know things like that shouldn’t matter, but to some people, they do. :rolleyes: Michael Jackson died in 2009, and you’re not going to believe HOW. R.E.M. broke up in 2011. Believe it or not, Keith Richards is still alive and kicking. :eek: ---
