Manhattan
Another new series about scientists in the late 1930's and 40's working on the atomic bomb in New Mexico. Loosely based on fact, there's been guest appearances by Oppenheimer, Niels Bohr and....Heisenberg
I first thought it would be about the scientists and their wives/girlfriends and maybe degenerate into a soap opera...I was wrong. It focuses on the race to beat the Germans and is quite engaging at times if you're interested in the nerdy side of the arms race...
Falling Skies
Under the Dome
The Strain
all sci-fi, all cheesy in their own way, and all perfect brain-check-in-at-the-door type shows

Extant
New series with Halle Berry as an astronaut who returns from a solo 13 month mission in space....and she's pregnant.
Some neat tech ideas as it's set in the near future. Her scientist husband has built a lifelike human boy robot that lives with them. A few simultaneous ideas going on...
The Killing
Slow paced detective series set in Seattle. During the first season each episode represented 24 hours of the investigation.
People complained it was too slow, real detectives commended it as being close to the truth of real police investigations...
I watched all of the seasons but ffs....at times I thought it was going to rain inside my house because of the mood of the series
both leads were fantastic IMO

okay that's off the top of my head, after work posting.....I should let others make some suggestions
I love this totally badass show like nobody's business. It's centered in Kentucky and was originally based on a short story by the recently deceased amazing writer Elmore Leonard called "Fire In The Hole". The main character, Raylan Givens, is a US Marshal that walks around like a modern day Wild West gunslinger. Dresses like one too. Seasons 2 and 3 will hook you hard. Unfortunately the next season (season 6, I believe) will be the last.Originally Posted by Hal-9000
Justified
Modern day marshal who works near the redneck town he grew up in. Good performances and funny, then hardcore situations throughout.

Sons of Anarchy
Final season starting soon.
Show about a Cali-based outlaw biker gang called the Sons of Anarchy and their trials, tribulations, and exploits. There's some brutal hardcore shit in this show.

The Walking Dead
A group of survivors of a zombie apocalypse try to survive the new post apocalyptic landscape. Led by former sheriff Rick Grimes, it shows how people and families react and adapt to the situations of the atmosphere. Lots of gore (when they're not centered in one location looking for someone for half a season) and brutal stuff. Based on the still running comic book series of the same name.

Just 'cause...
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
we have a crew at work that loves it too..
So far I agree with all your suggestions minus gay vampires
and Boyd Crowder...perhaps one of the best supporting roles in any series

oh and I almost forgot
The Vampire Diaries
spin off called The Originals
spin off called Suck my bag you Californian Queen
Dr. Who
A time traveling Alien who thwarts off alien problems.. This is a very creatively written show.. Kinda brit corny with some intense stuff thrown in. You can tell some of the writers have some issues in their life they seem to be dealing with through their character selections.. example.. Every new doctor (he regenerates instead of dying, into a new person) has a companion ( usually a hot female) that he never gets romantically involved with.. But it seems like a lot of these companions either has or ends up with some black British guy. I could see once, but this is recurring.. Why the diss on the white boys?
Anyhoo.
I just discovered I have 12 new episodes to watch on Netflix!
Can't wait it will be crazy
