Utopia is the last truly excellent TV series I've seen. My all-time favorite TV series include: Breaking Bad, Hannibal, Daredevil, and Utopia. I'm in constant search for new stuff to watch, but end up (mostly) dissapointed. I had high hopes for the new HBO series "Westworld", but after 3 episodes I'm neither impressed or hooked by it.
shareFrom what You write I gather we might have similar tastes, so I'll throw a recommendations Your way:
Fargo
An anthology series set in the same universe as the movie and with seasons roughly 30 years apart. Somewhat captures the spirit of the Coens and extends on it a lot. The first season was excellent and the second a downright masterpiece.
True Detective Season 1
I wont't be able to encapsulate the greatness of this work of art in a single paragraph, so I'll just say this: if You like edgy police drama with deeply philosophical aspects (relative for a TV series) this is the second coming.
Justified
A crime drama set in rural Kentucky based on the works of Elmore Leonard. Thoughtful writing and intriguing storylines, great to watch.
Some others include:
The Sopranos
The Wire
The Shield
Bosch
Stranger Things
Firefly
House of Cards (although a bit inconsistent in terms of quality)
The Man in the High Castle
Hope I could help You out a little :)
Cheers.
