Mine! These recs are written for an abstract general audience :).

1. Six Feet Under (best gay relationship ever on television, serious about faith, inter-generational wonder, perfect blend of psychological and spiritual)
2. The Wire (mandatory viewing for U.S. Americans and the people who have feels or curiosities about us)
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (duh)
4. Dollhouse (yep. for real. the whole thing. particularly, I would recommend this show to anyone who is uncomfortable with their level of investment in popular culture)
5. The Real Girl's Guide to Everything Else (mandatory viewing for anyone who ever enjoyed an episode of Sex and the City, but also for any feminist who can dedicate an hour of their life to watching a web series about cool feminists)
6. Glee (just the first two seasons, but I think that, like with Mean Girls, anyone who went to a large public school at any point in the United States, or knows and loves someone who has, could learn from Glee)
7. X Files (because my yahoo id was princessmulder for a reason)
8. My So-Called Life (some of the best representations of women's relationships with one another I've ever seen, a fundamental inspiration for Joss, who wrote lovingly about it on the DVD set)
9. Awkward Black Girl (the fact that this web series has not been picked up by a network is nothing short of appalling. U.S. media culture, you suck. Issa Rae, you deserve all the awards.)
10. The Guild (if you're reading this, you are on the internet. If you have been on the internet, you can get something out of The Guild. TRY IT.)
