Without duplicating previous suggestions, I think these are good:
Dead Like Me focuses on a group of Grim Reapers, following most closely a newly deceased Ellen Muth, a young woman of about 20 whose attitude towards her new job, collecting the souls of those who are about to die a violent death to prevent them the trauma to their souls. It, like all good drama, is really about how people live and deal with their lives, as seen through the lens of an extraordinary situation. It had a short run, but is worth it for the time you get to see it.
If you don't mind something a little older . . .
The Avengers is cool personified. It's stylized, and sometimes a bit silly, and varies from standard cold war stuff to sci-fi to some seriously surrealistic weirdness, but it's never dull. It's episodic, so you don't need to see it from the beginning. You can safely skip the Cathy Gale episodes and start with the Emma Peel ones. There were two seasons, and they're both good, the first a bit better than the second. The idiots running the show didn't want to pay Diana Rigg enough to keep her after that and lost her.
