TV show recommendation thread

Just marathoned through True Detective (FUCKING AMAZING) and latest season of Justified (good) and thought I'd get some help from you guys to pick the next show or two to watch. I watch a fuckton of TV (10TB media array stores EVERYTHING) so I've already seen all the great shit like Breaking Bad, Rome, Wire, Deadwood, etc - just looking to pick what you think the next best show is out of this list. I love Breaking Bad, Wire, all Scifi (BSG Trek Farscape etc), Spartacus, action movies, etc.

Feel free to ask for a recommendation here too and list 2 or 3 of your favorite shows for context and I'll toss out a suggestion or two based on what I've watched.

Americans - I watched 2 or 3 episodes of season 1, felt it was really slow, haven't watched since
Sleepy Hollow season 2 - I liked season 1, I assume s2 is pretty good and now that its wrapped plan on watching it sometime soon
Bosch - Amazon Prime series, I love the main actor (smokey from Lost) but it looks kinda boring/pedestrian
Bridge - ?? looks lame
Vikings - 3d season just started, haven't watched at all
Red Widow - ?
Scorpion - ?
Black Sails - I fucking love pirates but i watched 3 episodes of crossbones and it gave me aids (DONT watch crossbones)
100 season 2 - I enjoyed season 1 even though it was dumb
Blacklist - ?

My guess right now is its a tossup between Black Sails, Sleepy Hollow, Americans, and Vikings but I can't decide which to start on first.

Probably Black Sails, then Sleepy Hollow, then Americans, then Vikings

(edit: added Blacklist)

hmm lotta banshee recco's in here, guess I'll have to check it out, thanks! The torrent description always seemed weird like a cartoon or something.

Already seen Sherlock (AWESOME everyone should see it) and watch the Good wife with the wife every sunday. I honestly think good wife is vastly overrated, while good acting and a few good episodes its way too over dramatic, "rich white people problems", and scooby doo eye rolling (kalinda solves the mystery at the last minute like 90% of the time) to ever be really considered "good" in my book.

Person of Interest is something I eventually wanna see, its got Ben from Lost who is amazing but its up to like season 3 now with 22 episodes per season... thats a lot of TV

Just found an extra 2TB of storage on my drive array too, turns out I had a drive plugged in but never formatted. Thats a lot of extra free space

What others have said vikings, banshee and black sails. For science ficition add Continuum if you haven't seen it yet, its coming into its 4th season and is one of the best scifi tv series made in the last 20 years.

hmmm really? I saw one or two episodes and it looked super lame, like a cheap canadian attempt at scifi without any budget to back it up. I know the basic plotline is basically Timecop + Sliders, but does it really work or is it just whacky adventures with cheap shitty sets and only 1 or 2 episodes per season in the future (due to budget)?

For example I sorta like Orphan Black but mostly cuz of the main actress, the story is crap and the budget is tiny so they rarely do anything cool scifi wise and drag out the story. By contrast I think 12 Monkeys, Helix, Defiance, and Black Mirror have flaws but are fun to watch, Defiance, Black Mirror, and 12 Monkeys (so far) are actually quite good although none are imo at the level of Trek or Fringe.
