There are a lot of shows out there, what have you watched recently that you would advise others to see or to skip, and why? Please try to avoid spoilers, for extra challenge :)

as for me, I am watching Fringe for the first time recently and even though it is an older show it is a definite see, I wish I had gotten to it earlier! I really like the thing-of-the-week format that still has a bigger story, and was pleasantly surprised that there is quite a bit of horror in it, I was only expecting sci-fi!
