For my part, I want to tease out the pique of others interest. (And 
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has seen Monster.)

Over the last few months I have been exploring the world of fansubs 
via BitTorrent.
By now I've seen every episode that exists of Naruto and Bleach, am 
hoping to find a group with something resembling a complete Konjiki No 
Gash Bell.
The whole cottage industry vs. entertainment industry resembles a 
complicated game of tic-tac-toe with the entertainment cos licensing 
to block. I prefer not to download licensed materials and am currently 
purchasing FullMetalAlchemist and Gantz sets and I already have the 
set of Elfen Lied.
A while back I ran across a very professionally subbed series, 
Monster.
74 episodes of engrossing psychological thriller.
Thematically the story is similar to the old 60s series The Fugitive, 
but with quite a bit more meat to chew on. Actually the Fugitive in 
comparison is simplistic and cartoony.

Monster is to put it simply, one of the finest television series of 
any kind I have seen.
The plot is gripping and the number of times I was completely caught 
offguard by twists kept me guessing and second guessing all through 
the series.

And it appears that New line wants to make a film version for next 
year:
