    You're so lucky, I wish I could go back and watch 'The Good Wife' again from the start.

    Without doubt one of the best acted and best scripted shows on TV at the moment.
    It's criminal that Christine Baranski still hasn't got an Emmy for her performance despite having 5 nominations.
    CB and Archie Panjabi totally steal every scene they are in IMO.
    The show has won at least one acting Emmy every year though, so that shows how good it is I suppose.
    You're in for a treat when Martha Plimpton & Carrie Preston come in for guest appearances as well, they play fantastic characters (and both won an Emmy for their respective performances).

    Sorry, this isn't a post about Emmys though.

    Some other recommendations.

    How to get away with Murder. - Outstanding. Viola Davis is fantastic.
    Scandal. I'm not loving season 4 TBH, but 1-3 are fantastic.
    Suits, Same as Scandal I'm afraid, but definitely worth a watch.

    Reckless starts next week on Alibi but as it's already been cancelled, I'm not too sure whether I'll bother.

    I'm hearing good things about Madam Secretary so I'm looking forward to that. Starts this month sometime I believe on Sky Living.

    This show doesn't start too well, but the last 4-5 episodes have been a lot better. Worth a look if you can stick it out during the early episodes.

    If you're speaking of shows currently in production and not those which have wrapped up for good, you might try the following that have not been mentioned yet:

    Gotham
    Outlander
    Jane The Virgin
    Castle
    Bones

    Also, as I understand it, Arrested Development is going to have another season via Netflix, I'm guessing, so it would be worth catching up with that.

    I want to see Castle Seasons 4, 5 & 6 but they are not on Netflix and it is not available on Amazon Prime right now.

    I really liked Rescue Me but Seasons 3-7 are not on Prime plus it's not on Netflix.

    Is How To Get Away with Murder on UK Netflix or the US version?

    I can't recommend them as I've not seen them, yet. I tend to binge watch a lot of US shows myself, so I'm taking note of others' recommendations. I decided to add just the ones still airing or in production otherwise it would have been a long list.

    I have seen Martha Plimpton guest star in two episodes of Season 1, I am now up to episode 22 of Season 1 so two more to go.

    I have crushes on Josh Charles and Matt Czurchy and I think Julianna Margulies and Christine Baranski are fab.

    Oh, I quite enjoyed 'Transparent' on Amzon Prime (but available via other sources).
