Recommend a TV show!

[mousme]

Okay, so I'm looking to (slowly) increase my library of DVDs, specifically TV shows. All the television I get at home is what I see on DVD, so I'm looking for recommendations from my LJ friends. You guys have similar tastes, or at least tastes that overlap with mine. :)

Here's the kind of thing I like:

-drama
-crime/detection
-fantasy
-science fiction

Basically it has to be fiction (I am not a fan of reality shows, news shows, etc. I like documentaries but not enough to own most of them). I am looking for well-written, well-paced shows. Plot and characterization is key. :)

So. Recommendations?

:::ETA:::

The show need not be current, but it does need to be available on DVD.

ROME (historical drama)
Carnivale (historical fantasy/horro)
Supernatural (modern occult investigation)
Deadwood (historical drama)
Entourage (modern dramedy about Hollywood)

Pretty much everything HBO does, really. Bastards.

I have these available for viewing should you wish to sample before purchase.

I am still kicking myself for not picking up the first season of Supernatural when it was on sale for $19. I have yet to find it for under $30 or $35 these days.

I have seen the first two seasons of Deadwood, and am enthralled. However, the price tag is a wee bit steep these days. I am still waffling about it.

temporarily, of course
