In no particular order:
1. Peaky Blinders
Scrolling through some of the Netflix originals I don't know in particular what drew me to click play for this BBCTwo series. Set in post WW1 England, the story revolves around a Birmingham street gang known as the Peaky Blinder. Business runs in the family for Thomas Shelby, the cunning and ambitious leader scheming to move up in the world. Cillian Murphy, a highly underrated actor steals the performance while the opening theme has become a staple in my playlist. Picture the class warfare of Downtow Abbey blended with family gangster warfare seen across The Godfather series.
Opening Song: Red Right Hand
2. The Newsroom
Renowned for The West Wing, A Few Good Men, Charlie Wilson's War, Moneyball, The Social Network, and Steve Jobs, Aaron Sorkin has quietly (IMO) been one of the best creators and writers in Hollywood for film and TV for decades. Centered around a fictional cable news network, Sorkin's monologues and fast paced dialogue forms unforgettable moments and characters. Star Jeff Daniels sheds the Dumb and Dumber act for an Emmy award as a cable news anchor. Like West Wing, the show is a heavy political drama, though it chronicles real events from the standpoint of a news broadcast scrambling to acquire facts and present them accurately. Unlike the other two shows on my list, I would only recommend this if you enjoy the opening scene, regardless of whether you agree with the premise, a sharp theme is set for the rest of the series.

3. House
If you haven't heard of this medical drama, then I'm not sure where you were for the mid 2000's. Hugh Lauire plays title character Gregory House, a Vidocin popping, narcissistic, misanthropic, medical genius whos outlook on life has driven works of literature outside of the show about his philosophy. If your a fan of any Sherlock Holmes movie, show, book, or play then I can recommend this show enough. Between the witty comebacks, deductive prowess, and reliance on a "sidekick" like fellow doctor and friend for help, House captures the brilliance and humor of Holmes. While it would be difficult to select one scene to best encompass the show's eight seasons, instead, its a best comebacks compilation. If you haven't seen the show, I would advise not watching this video.
