Both are good in their own ways, but Top Of The Lake kinda edges it as it has more binge allure. You're more likely to watch it all in one sitting than you would The Fall.

Your bro is wise. The year that nonsense debuted, I watched it, and, hated it, that was 8 years ago (when I enjoyed genres I wouldn't give the time of day now). The whole drama was a proper lesson in bad writing and poor acting from the beginning to the end.

I have read good things about this show, and so far, it's staying true to hype. The French are rather good at dark crime shows, aren't they. Pretty much like the The Wire, both in plot and premise.

Yeah its so worth it, but it depends on what genre you fancy. Westworld is a western syfy thriller with a lot of philosophical influence on its overall premise. some might say its an acquired taste.

I just finished Game of thrones...and I just can't wait to get more of it.
Since season 8 is coming out in 2019...I opt for other TV series...but am just disappointed in them
1)breaking bad:too subtle
2)vikings:no intrigue, no scheming
3)supernatural: no suspense,each episode ends in itself
I just don't know the series to opt for
But before GOT,have watch series like
1)Spartacus
2)Revolution
3)Merlin
4)Blindspot:ongoing
5)Empire:left
ETC
I mention the TV series I have view so that you can at least grab what I love in a series and give me a list of TV series I can watch
NB:I love suspense in a movie,secrets,mystery,twist,episodes linking with each other
Thanks

Since you liked Merlin, I'll assume you like shows with with a fantasy setting, a lil' bit sci-fi and magic missed in, yes? Okay.
- Atlantis
- Outlander (more medieval sci-fi than magic, tho)
- Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel
- Penny Dreadful
- Shannara Chronicles (meh)
- Once Upon A Time
- Buffy The Vampire Slayer
- Angel
- Siren (Newish)
- Grimm
- Lost Girl


Revolution is a short lived post-apocalypse tv series that was never short on intrigue, if a little lacking on everything else. You'll definitely be upgrading with:
- The Walking Dead (Episode 1-6)
- Fear The Walking Dead
- The Last Ship
- Fringe (Season 5 is post-apocalypse)
- The Strain
- Battlestar Galactica
- Colony
- 12 Monkeys

Spartacus and it's miniseries, Gods Of The Arena are peculiar animals in the sense there's very few shows like them. It's history and fantasy missed in an electrifying romp.
Shows that came close are:
- Game Of Thrones
- Black Sails
- Da Vinci's Demon
- Britannia
- The Last Kingdom
- KnightFall
- Vikings
- Camelot

Shows like Blindspot
- Taken
- The Blacklist
- Limitless
- CSI: Cyber
- Agent X
- Stitchers
- Cracked

Mystery and all the extra baggage that goes with (twist, suspense blah blah blah). Every episode is linked - jump one and you missed a big part of the puzzle.
- Broadchurch
- Top Of The Lake
- Liar
- Riviera
- Lost
- Happy Valley
- Bloodline (Season 3 is subpar, though)
- The Fall (Subpar Season 3)
- True Detective (Season 1)
- Fargo
- The Killing
- Sherlock
- Strike
- The Terror
- The Sinner
- Marcella
- The Alienist
- Luther
- Dark (German language)
- The Night Of
- Line Of Duty
- Bosch

How do you watch so many series?

Loneliness have boredom is school, have made me wanna start watching series again.

24, GoT, Spartacus, Prison Break, Narcos, Stranger things, Heroes, Kyle XY, The Event, True Blood, (I stopped watching Originals, Walking dead, The Vampire diaries when they dragged too long and i lost focus).

These are the only series i have watched from their pilot episode to the last.

I like Mortal Kombat setting, array, diversity and back stories of its characters.

Yeah, it has a web series. Each episode is 10 mins long and give a backstory on one of the universe principals - Scorpion, Sub Zero, Cage, Jax et al. And you should watch the short movie Mortal Kombat: Rebirth before the webisodes, for context.

Well, I started watching TV series from the time I was old enough to comprehend what's going on. I remember Secret Of The Sands being my favorite back when I was 7  years old. A story about two twin sisters, a dashing young rancher and a mentally challenged man. You should look it up, it's pretty good. One of my oldest memories.

Passion, Full House and Friends were also pretty huge back then, and later, Buffy, Dark Angel, Egola: Place of Gold, and eventually, Oz which forever changed my perception in tv shows. Naturally, I started seeking shows just as meaningful and hardcore. Prison Break, The Shield, Six Feet Under, The X-files, Masters Of Horror, The Sopranos, Lost, Sons Of Anarchy, Heroes, The Wire, 4400, 24, etc were worthy thrills.

I was also a big fan of fantasy and the supernatural (remnants of my Buffy days I guess), thus I took an instant liking to Supernatural, which incidentally made me take an interest in it's producers, the WB (now the CW), and I got exposed to teen and young adult dramas like One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Gilmore Girls, Hart of Dixie, Melrose Place and Nikita.

Eventually, I took a dislike to teen dramas, and by extension the CW, and by extension, all their shows as I moved on. The cable channel, Syfy was and still is a worthy replacement. And for good reasons too, because that's where I became exposed to sci-fi classics like Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, Caprica and Santuary.

Then, I became more selective of tv shows. Invariably, I found myself more and more likely to watch HBO, FX, AMC, Showtime and lately, Netflix shows, much more than the NBC, FOX, ABC and CBS shows, because of the quality content more prevalent on the former. The shorter seasons also play a big part as I would rather watch quality than quantity.

Seems to me you've been away from the tv series scenes for awhile. My advice, stick to shows similar to the ones that you mentioned and work up your way to the ones that are more complex. Don't jump right in to shows like Breaking Bad & The Leftovers cuz you'll go running for the hills back to your movies (yeah, I know you're a movie guy).

Hmm...
