15. Alpha House

Orphan Black Clones Tatiana Maslany

Created by Pulitizer Prize winning cartoonist Garry Trudeau, Alpha House tells the story of four Republican U.S. Senators who all share a house in Washington D.C.

It's inspired by the real-life story of three Democratic legislators who share a house in the nation's capital, with the politicians played by John Goodman (reason enough to watch it right there), Clark Johnson, Matt Malloy, and Mark Consuelos. 

Serving as a political satire, Alpha House was one of Amazon's first success stories, being part of its first pilot season back in 2013, and having ran for two seasons (so far) since then. Oh, and Bill Murray makes a few cameo appearances, which is always a bonus.
