Underrated by who? Not sure but no heard of by most anyway.

Justified

Well I'm going to take this as those shows which are barely mentioned on boards or the like so I'll exclude 'Justified' on those grounds.

Boards people should be paying more attention to:
Archer
Happy Endings
Southland
Psych
Continuum

Southland

The Killing (gets a bad rep for carrying a case over 2 seasons, big ****ing woop, doesnt take away from what is a great character driven show)

Banshee (yeah its on skinimax, i admit its not for the fait of heart, its uber violent and there is a LOT of skin on display, but its has a solid story, and a lot of interesting characters)

Covert Affairs (this show is one that just improves season on season, if you only watched the first few episodes back in season 1 and gave up, id really advise keeping with it, season 3 was very good and 4 starts in a few weeks)

Revolution (got torn to shreds in the first half of season 1, after it came back it was a totally different show, better writing, better acting and a more detailed story, a lot of people did rightly bale early on, the issues were justified, but its worth watching just for the second half of the season)

Continuum (its maintained it quality from season 1, still a fairly underrated show)

i know some of these shows have high imdb ratings but i would considered them low rated within my circle of friends. only because they don't know how to watch them.

Community - it's a great show but they almost cancelled it at one time.

Grimm - it's good, it's has a interesting take on the grimm brothers tales.

vice - this is a fantastic show, they have now started to air it on HBO but there's loads of great uploads from them on youtube

Da Vincis Demons - i like it, i know it's not historically correct, but it's a good story and is worth a look.

House of cards - i don't think it's rated that high in ireland, due to the lack of people that have seen it. but it's on netflix and it's really good.

To follow ixoy's reasoning... shows underrated by boardsies...

Chicago Fire (NBC)
Adventure Time With Finn & Jake (Cartoon Network)
Men At Work (TBS)
Cougar Town (TBS)
Friday Night Dinner (Channel 4)

Dunno how you define "underrated"?....as Southland is acclaimed by both fans and critics, if underrated means nobody's watching....then yes, Southland was hugely underrated.

As was Boss, The Borgias and sundry other low rated but high quality shows. Banshee isin't underrated imo....its got alot of media and fan attention + a second season.
