Even if you're not a sci-fi person (I really, really am not), give Battlestar Galactica a try for a few episodes. It's really very good. DH talked me into watching it with him, and we've now watched the entire series probably 3-4 times on DVD.
Also - The Americans (premiered last year) is very good. The next season starts in late February, so you have time to catch up before then!
True Detective on HBO (currently midway through the first season) is really good so far.
And, Rome (HBO), if you've not seen that.
Crap, that was supposed to be American HORROR Story, sorry!
