With all the programming options available on TV, it's sometimes hard to keep up. Luckily, many TV series now have complete seasons on DVDs so you can enjoy them at your leisure. Here are some of the best shows from the last decade that you might have missed:
Veronica Mars
On the surface, this show can seem silly as a teenage girl tackles mysteries as an unlicensed private detective. But, the show far exceeded its somewhat corny premise to become a dark and complex examination of high school life.
Lost
One of the biggest hits of recent years, this ABC series had people all over the world speculating about the mysteries of its strange island. Some say that last season was a bit disappointing, but despite that, this series found countless fans.
The Shield
This gritty police drama originally aired on FX. Vic Mackey and his “strike team” of corrupt cops try to work both sides of the law in Los Angeles, making for incredibly gripping television. Be warned, this show is not for the squeamish.
Mad Men
This AMC show is still on the air, but there’s no time like the present to catch up with it. Chronicling the trials and tribulations of an advertising agency, the show has won legions of fans and several awards with impressive acting and smart scripts that truly capture the tumultuous 1960s.
Arrested Development
Despite its chronically low-ratings, this Fox sitcom was hailed to be one of the smartest shows on TV. If offers great performances from stars Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, and David Cross.
