There are a few good shows that cover another part of the waterfront.  Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple.

There's "True Detective"(HBO), starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.  It is an 8 episode series, 2 of which have already aired. I have found it to be intelligent, well-written, well-acted and the story arc is compelling for those who enjoy buddy cop-drama procedurals.

From the other side of the pond comes "Sherlock" (BBC).  To me, the underlying premise of any story/film/series featuring Sherlock Holmes is so automatically intriguing, they attain the same exalted status as do blowjobs and pizza: even when they're bad - they're good! In this particular offering, the series is set in modern-day London.  Sherlock and Dr. Watson now come equipped with computers and cell phones instead of the old standby of Deerstalker Caps and Meerschaum Pipes.  As of this writing, 9 episodes have been aired from 3 "seasons" that are completed.
