What series do you recommend?

[BadgerHorn 147]

Lots of good recommendations.  I'd keep the Wire, Mad Men, GoT, WW near the top.

Lots of people like Justified, but I have a hard time watching Timothy Olyphant.

Need to add Veep to the comedy list - I put it right at the top of my comedies with Seinfeld and The Office.  Consider Archer.  I didn't think I'd like animated comedy, but there's some sharp humor in it.  Curb doesn't work for a lot of women, but worth a shot.  If she gives up on watching with you, go with Mystery Science Theater 3000

A few others that I'd add that only got a mention or two: Deadwood, Rome, Sopranos, the Tudors (mainly for Natalie Dormer), Band of Brothers

Downton Abbey isn't a bad compromise if she isn't into the HBO/Showtime format.

Watch the first season of Dexter and then pretend it got cancelled. It goes downhill quickly after that.
 

Aw come on. That Trinity Killer season was pretty damn good

Trinity killer was the best season, and so good that Lithgow killed the series.

To be fair, Dexter's season 2 is pretty good.  And then Season 4, the Trinity Killer is arguably the best season of the series (maybe a tie with Season 1).  The rest of the 9 seasons, (#3 & #5-#9) are among the worst television to ever come out of Showtime/premium cable...and that's fucking say something.  Although, season 5 or 6 (forget which it was) is worth it only to watch Sgt. Batista try to say the word "tableau" several times.  

If I were you...I'd spend the next 2-3 weeks watching Season 1 of "Ozark" and then dive right into Season 2, which starts 31 August.
