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.

Yeah, The Prisoner was great. It was sort-of a sequel to "Secret Agent Man" which wasn't nearly as good.

And also the show with the highest WTF Factor in the history of TV, at least until Twin Peaks.

Speaking of which, Phnee, if you haven't seen Twin Peaks, it was pretty great for a while; the first season especially. Especially if you're a Lynch fan.
