- Shameless. Creator: Stars: Paul Abbott. William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum, Ethan Cutkosky, Shanola Hampton and Cameron Monagan. Meet the Gallaghers: six rambunctious kids and their single father living in poverty on Chicago’s South Side.
- Penny Dreadful. For the last fifteen years, writer John Logan has been the man behind the man. He's the writer of Gladiator, The Aviator, and Skyfall, and in his first foray into television, he used his immense literary background to forge the Gothic fantasy, Penny Dreadful.
- Nurse Jackie. In the closing line of the Nurse Jackie pilot, the likable antihero beseeches her maker, "Make me good, God, but not yet." This close paraphrasing of St. Augustine frames the entire series about a woman plagued by inner demons who still manages to act like an angel.
- The Tudors. Henry VIII and his six wives were a slice of history the world won't soon forget. Though his portraits depict a stout man with a protruding belly, The Tudors sexed up the life of Henry VIII by focusing on his glory days.

Thanks to David Duchovny's irresistible performance as Hank Moody, the alcoholic man-child who struggles to ever say "no," Showtime took Californication for a seven-season run from 2007 to 2013.
- Dexter. "Dexter" is a difficult show to pull off: The main character is a serial killer, and viewers actually root for him to get away with his crimes.
- Shameless. The various members of the large and troubled Gallagher family make themselves into Chicago legends by the time "Shameless" wraps up its 11-season run.
- Yellowjackets. "Yellowjackets" is two stories in one. The first follows a group of teenagers connected by an unthinkably tragic event, while the other is about those same young people years later, all grown up and deeply scarred by their shared experience.
- Dead Like Me. Georgia "George" Lass is a recent high school graduate with no real idea of what she wants to do with her life. It takes her death — she's struck by a falling toilet seat — for her story to truly begin.
