I would recommend stuff to you, but you have probably seen most of the stuff I have. If you are looking for a totally solid non hbo show, check out Hannibal. A bit pretentious,and somewhat formulaic, but still very entertaining and ways visually pleasing to look at. I would put in on par with Dexter. Check it out if you havent already, just dont expect it tp revolutionize tv or anything. The guy who plays Hannibal is excellent.

Maybe because of all the talk of it being the end:

For some reason I thought that Season Six already aired. I guess I was wrong.

Do you know what is amazing about that show? That kind of shit really did happen- at least once (that we know of):

I'm not super big on the Americans. Mr. Robot is very hit or miss. It feels very gimmicky imo with that multiple personality stuff and the bait and switch M Night Shamalan twists. That show uses music really well though, if that makes sense. I liked the first season of Rectify, for whatever reason I stopped watching. I've heard good things about Halt and Catch fire and Justified so those are probably solid places for me to start. Out of all the shows you listed, which one is your favorite?

The Americans is my favorite of the bunch, but of the two you haven't seen and specified an interest in, I like Justified more but either is a good choice. Both Halt and Justified finish real strong, but take a little while to gain their footing.

How much of The Americans have you seen?

Halt was amazing in first season. Trailed off after that, for me.
