Definitely give Ozark a watch.

Safe is worth a watch, just the 8 episodes.

I liked Maniac on netflix, another vote for Ozark too.

Happy!

It's trippy! funny! and Violent! unfortunately it's been cancelled after season 2

Sharp Objects may be worth a watch along with Ozark as others have suggested.

Thankyou

Justified..slow burn show about US marshall and a whole host of strange characters, moonshiners, hopeless white supremacists and slippery oxy crime lords (dixie mafia)

great dialogue and great characters...and a proper ending

There is very little out there remotely as good as Gomorrah.

Can't go wrong with Justified, Walton Goggins is just utterly brilliant throughout.

The whole cast is cracking - couldn't believe Damon is an Aussie w/ a strong accent, his Southern accent is flawless!
Natalie's quite easy on the eyes too.

edit, forgot to add what I came here for!
Generation Kill is worth a look, but sadly it's only one season.

it really did feature some great characters, Wynn Duffy was the most brilliant not quite a bad guy

Always made me think of an evil Will Ferrel

Yeah, they had some great guest baddies, jere burns, Mykelti Williamson and Neal McDonagh were all great.
i'm a huge fan of Tim from waaay back in "Go". some of his clips on youtube w/ Conan are hysterical, he's a genuinely funny guy, i'm surprised he's not done more out-and-out comedies.

He's now become generic charismatic bad guy in recent years, pops up all over the place.

Yeah i loved Go. Not watched it in years.

Have you watched Santa Clarita Diet? He's brilliant in that.
