HBO's Rome was good. I am startting House of Cards and first couple episodes are all right. the first season of Downtopn Abbey is good -- but now its just a soap opera like Dallas or Dynasty.

Cool. Thanks. Yeah, I'm trying to avoid the soap opera kind of stuff. I prefer something with a bit of an edge to it.

That's because you're a guy.

No, it's actually better than that. Seriously.

Please give me your recommendations and tell me a little about what makes the show interesting (without giving any spoilers).

Is Mad Men any good? How about Entourage?

TIA.

Although no longer a series (short lived) this was an excellent tv series while it lasted. I am sure episodes are out on the net somewhere.
From Wiki:
The series centers on an intelligence analyst at a national think tank in New York City called the American Policy Institute (API) who discovers that he may be working with members of a secret society that manipulates world events on a grand scale.
The series is influenced by conspiracy films of the 1970s such as Three Days of the Condor and The Parallax View,^[2] in which an innocent character is caught up in, and slowly unravels, a major conspiracy.
