off top of my head I'd say:
1. Breaking Bad - Considered putting Mad Men here, but when shit went down in BB it was near unbearable and is the most compelling and captivating visual story I've seen. VG is also great at keeping the visuals interesting, constantly filming from creative angles. He's also great at moving the camera to different perspectives to tell the story, like in those two big scenes at the end of the S4 finale, (camera shows
2.Mad Men - Maybe the best use of visual storytelling I've seen in anything, ever. I doubt I've spent more time analyzing single shots in anything than I have in this. It's never cheap or pretentious either, it's probably the most subtle show of all time. One small thing I particularly love in it is the blocking of the characters.
3. Game of Thrones - The directing is good in general MOST of the time, but I put a particular emphasis on the scenes of spectacle such as fights and battle sequences which are fucking awesome. Also the music is matched really well to accompany the scenes.
4.Fargo - They used split screen and freeze frame and it fucking worked. Most memorable and unique style of directing and editing in any show I've scene.
5.Better Call Saul or House of Cards - VG and Fincher are both top notch, needless to say
