1. Taboo (8.8 on IMDb)
http://deadline.com/2016/11/taboo-premiere-date-fx-bbc-tom-hardy-steven-knight-ridley-scott-1201854653/
“James Keziah Delaney returns to 1814 London after 10 years in Africa to discover that he has been left a mysterious legacy by his father.” 1
This TV Show might be not just released, but it’s still relatively a new one. Dark and mystical story created by Tom Hardy about the man who returned from Africa because of his father’s death. He found out that he inherited The Nootka Sound Island, which occurs to be a very important strategic object for the Great Britain. James Delaney is not one of the easy-going people, so The East India Company are looking for the ways to cooperate with Delaney or the ways to kill him.
Great written and directed show! Highly recommend to watch.
2. Westworld (9.0 on IMDb)

“Westworld isn't your typical amusement park. Intended for rich vacationers, the futuristic park -- which is looked after by robotic "hosts" -- allows its visitors to live out their fantasies through artificial consciousness.” 2
The first season is over, so, for those who haven’t watched it yet, it’s a great opportunity to start and watch all episodes at once. This show is worth it. There are no any other TV shows like this. A huge park for the richest people in the world with robots, which look like humans. Every film fan will find “Westworld” immediately intriguing from the very beginning. 'Westworld' is an intelligent science fiction for adults definitely worth watching!
3. Riverdale (8.0 on IMDb)

“After the death of one of the rich and popular Blossom twins on 4th July, the small town of Riverdale investigates the murder. The series starts in September, the beginning of a new school year that brings new students, relationships and reveals the mysteries of the past 4th July.”3
A new TV show, made by Netflix, with only 9 episodes left. It’s a mix of drama, thriller and teenage life problems based on comics “Archie”. A story of the little town Riverdale where the son of the most powerful family was murdered. Almost everybody in the city has its own part in this murder and we can’t figure out who really made it and why.
I guess it’s the first show I’ve seen with so many red head people in leading roles. And all the fans of Beverly Hills, 90210 will be pleased to see Luke Perry as the father of the main character.
4. 13 Reasons Why (9.1 on IMDb)
http://www.wirtualnemedia.pl/artykul/13-reasons-why-nowy-serial-netflix-selena-gomez
“Teenager Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) as he returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers a group of cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford) -his classmate and crush-who tragically committed suicide two weeks earlier.”4
A great story, great acting and some dark themes which are not common in TV shows. This show intends to be hard, it intends to show some dark aspects of life of the person who is thinking about committing a suicide.
It gets pretty hardcore at the end. It makes you think and realise what you should do is sometimes very different from what you actually do.
13 Reasons Why has pretty high ranking right now and very good reviews. I highly recommend watching this TV show and share your opinion if you’ve already watched it.

Comments
The most interesting to me sounds the last one you've mentioned - "13 reasons why". I've also seen many ads about it and maybe I will watch it soon.
With no doubt my favorite TV show is Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch. It demands thinking and following the action with attention in order not to miss something. Other shows which I can recommend is for example "Black Mirror", but I think most of you have watched or although heard about. Another great TV show is "Narcos" - history of Pablo Escobar.
If you ask me which ones I like to watch, the answer is “all of them”. If you ask me which ones I’m actually going to see, I wish the answer is “none of them”. Why? It’s really simple, some time ago I realized all these TV series took me too much of my free time. “.. it’s a great opportunity to start and watch all episodes at once” - believe me, I’m too familiar with this ;) To answer your question, “Westworld” seems to be especially interesting to watch. As you said, there are no any other TV shows like this or I haven’t heard of them at least.
Currently I'm watching Silicon Valley. It's a tv show about startup in famous silicon Valley in USA. It is really funny, but also shows some real IT startups problems, especially in USA. I strongly recommend it for all IT guys.
Rest of the shows I haven't watched and their descriptions don't convince me to watch them. From what I have watched lately I can recommend to watch BoJack Horseman and Stranger Things.
I have spend many hours watching it and I think it is one of shows you have to watch.
The last series I have seen recently was Narcos. It is about drug dealer Pablo Escobar, factual story placed in Columbia in 80's.
I have heard a lot about “13 reasons why” so I’ll probably watch it during the May break.
I watch a lot of TV shows so it is hard for me to choose one to recommend, but because of the recent air of new season I recommend Wentworth.
It’s an Australian TV series about women’s prison, I’d describe it as better “Orange is the new Black”.
I have read Stephen King's book Under the Dome (~1000 pages). Few years ago they made a TV series based on it. It has 40 episodes, 43 minutes each. 29h combined. It is short comparing to other series, but I bet reading a book is a way better experience for me.
Among three of these I would choose the last one, it seems to be meaningful.
2) I think i would choose Taboo, just because i love mysteries.
3) Yes i do. How about Sherloc Holmes or Monk? I can also say that Lucifer is quite interesting (the devil comes to earth to solve criminal mysteries)
Other I can recommend:
Mr Robot for the IT geeks.
True Detective one of my favourites.
Black mirror - if you are interested in new technologies and how those can change society, you must see it.
Recently I watched “Stranger Things” on Netflix. It was something new for me. I have never seen such a good film series before. The story takes place in the early 80’s. I recommended to everyone who likes mystery films on the edge of dream.
I've heard about "13 reasons why" and after correction session I'll watch it :)
My favourites series:
Peaky Blinders
Narcos
Fargo
