I barely watch series, because I really need to be hooked to spend hours and hours into a series and its characters. When I have an hour of free time for myself, and I can choose between one episode of something or hubski + facebook + reddit + youtube channels + forums + etc, I mostly pick the latter because it's more fulfilling and enjoyable.

So the series I do watch have to be really good and progress the damn plot. I didn't really get into GoT or Breaking Bad because it just felt so slow the first couple of episodes and I didn't find it that impressive. On the other hand, I watched an entire season of Community in one sitting. Doctor Who I found really enjoyable when I started with season 5 (no I'm not one of those fans, but it's a pretty solid likeable series).

Recently I watched Suits season one, which hooked me on its premise but became a kind of one-trick-pony throughout the season (summary: Mike Ross has to do something he can't, tries it, fails a bit but succeeds with Harveys help. Add romance and competing colleagues to fill the hour). Had a similar problem with House of Cards.

Might try The Wire though.
