Don't get me started on American Beauty, a film I used to quite like until I was forced to "study" it in AS-Level Media Studies (don't judge me). Every tiny little thing apparently had meaning, even though it's highly unlikely the people working on the film knew about it.
Same here, I really don't see what all the fuss is about. People have told me it gets better but I didn't particularly like any of the main characters so I'm not sure I'd ever enjoy it.
I'd recommend:
House of Cards
Fringe
