Some of their most popular, and incredibly mesmerizing series include: The crime drama, Dexter; the dark comedy-drama Weeds; the complex lives of one dysfunctional family in the crime/drama Ray Donovan; and our favorite by a landslide, the drama/thriller Homeland. We have come to love, and understand, all of the characters in these series and we have given them a piece of us, just as we have taken in a piece of them. Watching their lives take place as we are ringside week after week, we are invested in them and look forward to every move they make.
Here are some of their series that we suggest looking at and past seasons are either available on DVD or On Demand.
Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody returns home following eight years in captivity. CIA agent Carrie Mathison thinks he has turned and is connected to a terror plot to be carried out on American soil, and she engages him in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that puts America's national security at risk. Later on, Carrie gets a promotion and returns to the front lines overseas. She is assigned to one of the CIA's most volatile and dangerous stations in the Middle East, where she is in the heart of battle in the war on terror. This is the most intense show of all and we literally get mad when each episode is over. You feel like you're right in the middle of what's going on and you are completely, 100% a part of it.
Ray Donovan is a "fixer" for Hollywood's elite. He is the go-to guy that the city's celebrities, athletes and business moguls call to make their problems disappear. It's a much more lucrative job than his previous work as a ruthless South Boston thug, vaulting him within reach of the truly wealthy and powerful. But no amount of money or the expensive things it can buy can completely mask Ray's past, a past that continues to haunt him with troubled brothers always calling and his father's recent release from 20 years spent in prison. Now a free man, Ray's father, Mickey, arrives in Los Angeles to get what he feels is rightfully his. Mickey's desire to reconnect and settle old scores with his family -- including Ray's wife and kids, who have never met the family's patriarch and are anxious to get to know him -- threatens to destroy everything Ray has built for himself.
Dexter Morgan is a Miami-based blood splatter expert who doesn't just solve murders; he commits them too. In fact, he's a serial killer -- but he only murders the guilty, so he feels justified with his lifestyle choices. His policewoman sister and his cop co-workers have no idea Dexter lives a double life; however, adoptive father Harry knows his secret, and does, in fact, help Dexter hone his "skills." It's a unique brand of justice for which charming Dexter feels a psychological hunger.
