I second Deadwood and In Treatment.HBO hits more than it misses. If you pick a random series on HBOGo, the odds are you will land on something good. Here are some that I haven't seen mentioned:
Boardwalk Empire - it's not the Sopranos, but nothing is
Deadwood - you have to pay me to watch westerns, but this
is great
In Treatment - enjoy the emotional pain of others
Curb Your Enthusiasm - legendary
Entourage - meathead drama at its best
Rome - Game of Thrones without the white walkers; much of it actually happened
Bored to Death - made me love Ted Danson again
Family Tree - if you like Christopher Guest mockumemtaries (e.g., Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, This is Spinal Tap); a tragedy that it only got one season
Netflix
Bloodline - it's just good
Narcos - organized crime is so good when it's done well
Derek - The Office spiked with sentimentality
Freaks and Geeks - a tragedy that it only got one season
Arrested Development - you'll never settle for mediocre sitcoms (e.g., The Big Bang Theory) after watching this
The Gilmore Girls - I didn't want to like this, but I'm a sucker for wit
The Twilight Zone - you don't have to wait for the New Year's marathon on SyFy
24 - Breathtaking! I watched the entire first season over the course of about 25 hours (had to take a nap, at one point). Goes down hill after a few seasons, though.
Damages - Glenn Close is a great lawyer that manipulates people and there's always more going on than meets the eye.
