Nothing beats House Of Cards.

Gonna bump this thread because I just watched both seasons of Hannibal in 5 days and its one of the best shows I've ever seen. That show has no right being on NBC its that f---ing good.

True Detective and Fargo both follow the anthology format, therefore each season features a different story and set if characters. Those are worth getting into due to not ever needing to "catch up" by watching previous seasons. Here's two suggestions you probably won't get from others, and both are vastly different but can be equally entertaining.

Vikings is a pretty cool show that has it's third season premiering in March. The first two seasons have a combined total of 19 episodes, so it isn't a huge commitment to catch up on. Great production values (especially the second season. The battle scenes>>>) and story. It tells the story of the Viking-legend, Ragnar Lodbrok. The writing is very consistent throughout (it's credited solely to Michael Hirst) and the directorial duties are split between 3-4 directors, which also gives it a pretty consistent feel.

Arrow is a sort-of-dumb CW show, great to watch if you're a superhero fan and want to waste an hour. It's on it's 3rd season now. 20+ episodes per season, so there's a lot more room for error, but the production budget seems to be alright. They stay more grounded with their villains and tend to steer away from superpowers, meaning an infrequent amount of bad television CGI, and most of the stunts are done practically. The fight scenes are great.
