I'm sure there are other good dramas as well, but these are the first addictive ones that came to my mind. Hope you agree with me, at least to some extent. ;)

- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Do I really have to say why GoT is my No 1? Well, I don't even know where to start. I didn't like bloody scenes, I hated violence, I used to hate pretty much everything that you can see in this drama, BUT, all that is wrapped in so many other "moments" that make you stop breathing and blinking for some time :) and everything that you used to dislike before becomes so unimportant. I've seen many TV dramas, it's my favorite way to relax after a tough day and to get away into some other world where I can forget about all problems and trivial things that bother me.
Let's just say that this drama is a must. After watching it, all others become so superficial and just not "deep enough" if you know what I mean. :) - CreatorJason RothenbergStarsEliza TaylorBob MorleyMarie AvgeropoulosSet 97 years after a nuclear war destroyed civilization, when a spaceship housing humanity's lone survivors sends 100 juvenile delinquents back to Earth, hoping to repopulate the planet.My criterion for deciding if a drama is worth watching is: "is it addictive from the first episode?" Maybe I'm wrong here, but why would I MAKE myself watch something if my reaction after episode one is "meh..."? This one IS addictive. If you don't like a lot of sci-fi, don't worry, there is a very tiny sci-fi element, mostly it's about survival on Earth. It's also for all generations because it deals equally with young people (not really teenagers) and their parents, the way how they handle difficult situations and how they fight to survive. It's not focused on romance, it's about surviving on your own, being able to determine whom you can trust, and there's also a lot of surprising elements, this drama is everything but not predictable.
- CreatorMike KelleyStarsMadeleine StoweEmily VanCampGabriel MannAn emotionally troubled young woman sets out to exact revenge against the people who wronged her father.Let's start with: amazing actress! Emily VanCamp is not only beautiful but definitely worth playing the lead character. As for the plotline, I have to be honest, it's an American style soap opera, but a good version of it. :) It has quite a deep and meaningful story, it shouldn't be compared with typical soap operas.
- CreatorDrew GoddardStarsCharlie CoxVincent D'OnofrioDeborah Ann WollA blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil.I'm glad that I was bored enough to watch the 2nd episode, because after the first one, it was just "OK." With every episode, it just gets better. And the second season is... wow! So much stronger and addictive, mostly because of introduction of some new characters - especially "the Punisher" and development of the story. The 1st one just serves as an introduction into the world of Daredevil, the second season is a real deal. So it went from "OK" to "amazing."
- CreatorI. Marlene KingStarsTroian BellisarioAshley BensonLucy HaleFour friends band together against an anonymous foe who threatens to reveal their darkest secrets, while also investigating the disappearance of their best friend.Mystery is the key factor. That's something that keeps your attention once you start watching it. AND fashion. They really chose beautiful girls and they are really good actresses, I wouldn't replace any of them. The series is kind of creepy, you always have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, but there isn't a lot of violence or bloody scenes, since it's far from horror.
- CreatorStephanie SavageJosh SchwartzStarsBlake LivelyLeighton MeesterPenn BadgleyPrivileged teens living on the Upper East Side of New York can hide no secret from the ruthless blogger who is always watching.This series doesn't really fit other dramas in this list but I had to add it since it IS addictive. Even if you don't like some things - like the fact that it deals with teenage stuff - it still keeps your attention and you don't want to stop. If you watch TV dramas because of hot guys/girls, this is a good choice. Also, if you are interested in fashion, this is the right place for you, especially Serena's fashion. :) I'm not some big romantic, but I REALLY loved Chuck & Blair's love story. They're like a cat and mouse, most of the time pushing each other away, and running away from that "crazy, stupid" love, but at the same time, you can almost FEEL how much they love each other.
- CreatorAlex GansaHoward GordonStarsClaire DanesMandy PatinkinDamian LewisA bipolar CIA operative becomes convinced a prisoner of war has been turned by al-Qaeda and is planning to carry out a terrorist attack on American soil.Homeland is quite good actually. I wouldn't give it a 10 because there are some weak points, but after watching all seasons, I can really understand why it has quite good ratings. Firstly, it's dealing with current issues: ISIS, terror attacks in America and other parts of the world, I guess everyone wants to see how America represents it. Secondly, there are some really good actors (Mandy Patinkin, Claire Danes, etc.), that contribute a lot to the whole story.
- CreatorHoward GordonGideon RaffCraig WrightStarsAdam RaynerJennifer FinniganAshraf BarhomAn unassuming American family is drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation.I will just say that I really, really hope that there will be a season 3. It has some weak points in the first 2 or 3 episodes, but after that it gets much, much better and you get addicted before you know it.
- CreatorKim CoghillAndrew De AngelisJeff DetskyStarsTatiana MaslanyDylan BruceJordan GavarisA streetwise hustler is pulled into a compelling conspiracy after witnessing the suicide of a girl who looks just like her.To be honest, I'm still watching season 1, but it's been really interesting from the very first episode. It's definitely different from all other TV dramas I've watched so far. First you meet the lead character and slowly you get to know that there are many copies of her. Nobody knows how many, nor who created all these clones and why, but you feel something creepy is happening as someone starts killing them off one by one.
- CreatorMelissa RosenbergStarsKrysten RitterRachael TaylorEka DarvilleFollowing the tragic end of her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her life as a private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City.It's... interesting... a lot! Quite cruel, though, so it's good for those who have a strong stomach. A lot of surprising elements, violence and unexpected turnarounds. I guess that's what makes a drama good and worth watching. But, there's a BUT. :) I'm not sure if there's going to be a season 2, we'll see...
