Vox Populi: New TV Series

Having just finished Westworld and the second season of The Wire, I need a new series to watch. I have a shortlist but am undecided as to what I should start.

This.

Voted for Stranger Things, but it's the only one I've seen. Season one of Mr. Robot does not have me enthused to see season two.

The Sopranos is the greatest TV show of all time, so you should probably watch that further (season 5 is the best). The Wire (especially season 3 and 4) would be an acceptable alternative, I suppose. Deadwood and The Americans are great too, but lower priority.

^ The binge-watching force is weak with this one.

It is actually strong, which is why I must practice restraint.

You have a very clear path ahead of you then.

Sopranos Season 4
Wire Season 3
Sopranos Season 5
Wire Season 4
Sopranos Season 6A
Wire Season 5
Sopranos Season 6B

Alternatively you could do season 6 of The Sopranos in one go, but they really play as two different seasons (one of which is much better than the other, but 6A is still better than most shows).
