I can't get into modern television. (Off-Topic)
Caveat, I'm married and 90% of my television watching is with my wife. So with that I'll group them into those categories.
The other categories are whether we are stressed out and want to watch a stressed out drama vs a more "silly" show. So I'll mark shows accordingly. Just in case, these are my views not my wife's ;-)
Me and the wife:
Suits - Stresser, inteligent, awesome, 45 minutes
Game of Thrones - Yes, we watch it. It's really solid. It's a stresser/drama. But I have no problem meeting other people, getting to know them, and never recommending this show.
Supergirl - light hearted, fun, 45 minutes
The Flash - light hearted, fun, 45 minutes
Psych - Really light hearted/funny, we both watch. Often a nightcap if we can do 45 minutes
Silicon Valley - Straight comedy, often a nightcap if we can only do 22 minutes
Big Bang Theory - Straight comedy, often a nightcap if we can only do 22 minutes
The Ranch - Straight comedy, often a nightcap if we can only do 22 minutes
Solo shows:
The Arrow - Another DC comic show (along with Supergirl and The Flash) but more violent. It's a good background watching time killer.
House of Cards - Heavy, drama, and you have to tolerate politics (which my wife doesn't do well), but incredible acting and writing. Certain earned every award it's received.
The Expanse - Solid modern science-fi that Xenos and I both love, but for completely different reasons :)
Fate/Stay Night - Anime, English dubbed. I'm not a HUGE anime fan but I've watched maybe 4 complete anime shows over time. This one (so far) has some great writing, such that watching previous episodes actually reveals things I should have caught the first time around... and I pride myself on never missing clues.
Discovery (watch with brother) - The newest Star Trek. Love it. Can go into details or can trade blows if you want to come to Seattle :-)
Agents of Shield (watch with friend) - Solid start, meh middle ground, intriguing current season. Lacking a friend that cares the first few seasons make for a good background show. For example I watched Seasons 1 and 2 while playing Civilization :-)
Feel free to inquire about any particular show. In the mean time I'm going to go reconsider life decisions considering how many shows I watch...
