Actually i watch rectify and Mr. Robot and really like both. Just forgot those two. Definitely good choices though. The shield i've heard great things and forgot about. Thanks guys! Keep them coming if anyone has a hidden gem or big show i'm missing. Speaking of missing just reminded myself i've seen The Missing and really like that one too. Also forgot i've seen and enjoyed season 1 of true detective but not season 2 yet though.

Been watching the mtv show scream as well and find it enjoyable as it fits my whodunit criteria. I was surprised as it's better than i thought it would be considering it's on mtv. But i guess since wes craven's doing it he wouldn't let it be crappy.

It seems blasphemous to say, but I think DarkCheck might like Tyrant. He should probably try Person of Interest, as well, though there have been a lot of episodes. Grimm and Burn Notice are also potentially good choices.

Bates Motel might be an interesting choice, as well. Halt and Catch Fire?

I just finished The Killing season 2 and really like it. Is it worth continuing to season 3? Also, I'm loving Rectify, just starting season 3.

If you've watched the first 2 Killings, I'd definitely watch the 3rd. It's not that long and it's not that bad, it's ok. And you'll get some closure. And you'll get more Holder, love that dude.

I watch Person of Interest, Grimm, and Bates Motel and like all of them. They just just slipped my mind to add to the list but good choices. Burn notice, white collar, and suits i was considering as they get some praise for usa shows. Burn notice considered the best of those or just for what it looks like my taste is? I saw the pilot for Graceland and thought it was kinda cool but never got around to seeing that. Prolly not a great show but it wasn't boring. Tyrant and Halt and catch fire i wasn't considering as i remember seeing some people rip Tyrant when it first started and haven't heard anything bout halt and catch fire. I suppose tyrant got better? Heard great things about Justified and The shield but never got started on them. I think i need to get on those 2 asap. Then maybe Burn notice and halt and catch fire. Thanks guys!

justified is better than 99% of your list.
season 2 is one of the GOAT seasons of tv.

You have a wide palate, which is why I would potentially recommend Tyrant. It was entertaining but laughably horrible in season 1. It remained the same at the beginning of season 2, but if you could suspend your disbelief it became often decent and always entertaining. The writers think their audience is stupid, but the show has never not been entertaining in some way.

Burn Notice is one of the best USA shows they've ever done. Suits is sometimes entertaining, but they rinse and repeat storylines all the time, which makes it annoying. I checked out on Graceland in season 1. Common Law was a good buddy cop show that USA had a few years back that only lasted one season. If you like non-suspenseful whodunits, you'd probably like both Monk and Psych. I never watched White Collar.

Halt and Catch Fire was maddeningly inconsistent in season 1, but was excellent in season 2. Look up the premise and see if it interests you. I'd probably put it right after Justified and The Shield because it's short.

I've seen Monk and Psych and enjoyed them both. Not for the whodunit as it wasn't intense/suspenseful enough, but enjoyed them as they were more fun light-hearted shows when needing a break after finishing some of the darker heavier shows. The type of whodunit i guess i like is scream, The mentalist when they were trying to figure out who Red John was i thought was a great lead up but the reveal sucked, and the last season sucked, as it didn't have the intensity/mystery surrounding it like it had with Red John. I heard Harper's island is like scream so i may check that out at some point too. Seen Top Of The Lake and Broadchurch(u.s. version) which were up my alley. Stuff like that. I even liked the ABC shows "whodunnit" and "The mole".

Read the premise on Halt and Catch Fire and seems interesting. Definitely gonna give that a try. Appreciate the help everyone!

I'll +1 for Grimm & Bates Motel. TBH I would stay away from Suites. It's fun for a few episodes, but it loses its interest pretty quickly. It's just not worth it. Both Grimm & Bates Motel have an interesting story, good characters, backstory, etc. Quick note though: if you start Grimm, give it one season at least. It took me some time to get used to the main character, and his wife. But it does get really good.

Also, god damn it you all need to stop about Justified. Still haven't seen it and have noo time to add it to my schedule! But yeah... I will.

I've only seen the first few seasons of 24. I really enjoyed it as it was an intense thrill ride. Also the first show i ever marathoned. But as the new shows were airing i was busy at the time and didn't want to watch after missing some episodes so decided to put off watching until ready to marathon. But never got around to start watching the show again as i started getting caught up in all the shows i listed. Also i thought there were reports that it got worse as it went on so it made me less gung ho about getting back on it. But i think i will give it a go again. Good recommendation.

Never seen an episode of fringe. I was tempted to but i read somewhere where some people liked it at first but then falls off so made me not pursue it yet.

This tv talk made think to go real old school and watch a show i've never seen, Twin Peaks! Bout to watch episode 1. Can't wait to see who killed Laura Palmer.

Fringe is the opposite of what you read, it starts out a bit slow (IMO) in the first season, but it just gets better and better with each season. It also has a very good finale, which to me is one of the critical things I look for in a TV show. Nothing worse than following a show through multiple seasons only to watch a terrible final episode (**** U DEXTER)

Right, that Dexter finale was awful.

I'll give fringe a try one of these days then.

Oh alright, then yea Fringe should be one of your top picks. By a mile.

I loved Fringe and thought the main story arc was great.

However, their long ~20 episode seasons did result in a load of filler episodes, if I remember correctly.

Not that they were that bad in general, but if you're marathoning an 100 episode show they can begin to drag.

No episode is a filler when you love the dynamic/characters
