With so many new options for new, quality programs, Network TV is being left in the dust. This week's contest is about the many NON-NETWORK shows that are now available---excluding the very popular Netflix (just to narrow the field). There's Hulu, HBO & Showtime, Amazon, youtube programs,FX, Starz, etc. For the sake of the contest, let's define "Network TV" as ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, FOX and CW. Any genre is OK, as long as it doesn't air on Network TV or isn't a Netflix Original. Some examples: The Tick, Man in the High Castle, The Night Of, The Handmaid's Tale, Fargo, Legion, Game of Thrones, Outlander, etc.

Standard av rules apply--200 x 200 pixels, 1 MB max.
The poll will go up Sunday, October 8th.

Here's mine, one of my new favorites:
Westworld

We don't even get Hulu up here, but I was finally recently able to watch this on DVD, and enjoyed it a great deal.

(Sorry, I know you can't necessarily even tell what show it's from with the image I picked, but I really liked the imagery in that shot, and decided to just go with it.)
 
Ok I'm confused as to what does/doesn't count. Is The Walking Dead a network show or not?

Yeah, what clouds the situation is that some cable shows are only shown on Netflix as Netflix originals, and vice-versa, depending on the country and origin. An example would be the upcoming Alias Grace, which in Canada is being shown on CBC, but available as a Netflix Original internationally. I guess in that case, we'd have to go with country of origin.
 
As I said in the OP, "Network TV" would be ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, FOX and CW. Any genre is OK, as long as it doesn't air on those channels and isn't a Netflix Original. If you have a show that's from any other channel AND Netflix doesn't tout it as one of their "original shows," it's fine. If there's some wiggle-room, make an argument. I'll probably buy it.

So Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Outlander, Fargo, Legion,Black Sails--all of them are fine.
