Longmire is fantastic, especially if you like Westerns and/or character-driven series. Fargo's conclusion was so satisfying; I love (mini)series with a carefully crafted beginning, middle, and ending.

I'm afraid I haven't watched Hannibal. I've heard good things about it, though. I somehow never got into the source material (the films or books), so I didn't know if this would work for me. Would you recommend it to a "newbie"?
