The only thing on that list I've watched is Dr. Who and I think that's pretty worthwhile. I saw a few episodes of Mr. Robot and really liked it, but I haven't had time to watch more.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

I'll second the recommendation for Longmire. Katee Sackhoff (aka Starbuck) has a prominent role on it. There's a lot of stuff about Native American/white relations—both interpersonal and societal. I think the writing's good, and some of the scenery is amazing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I got a text this morning that my great-uncle passed away yesterday. I guess that's a step up from reading it in the paper, which is how I found out last time there was a death on that side of the family.

I would vote for Jane the Virgin and Miss Fisher. Times being what they are, you need some TV watching that isn't so intense and bleak.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'll dissent and say if you stopped watching Breaking Bad, you're probably fine. I found myself becoming less and less impressed with the shenanigans as that show went on.

Of your list, I would pick Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Jane the Virgin, and Orphan Black.
Jane the Virgin you'll want to binge first so you can be caught up when the WTF of the S4 finale gets resolved in the fall.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, sj.
I need to look at your list myself, msbelle, but Jess makes good points.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I watch almost no TV these days, so my opinion is largely uninformed, but Jane the Virgin is the best!
(My current shows: Jane the Virgin, The Good Place, and Fresh Off the Boat, which I am slowly catching up on via Hulu.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend would be a definite yes from me.
Capaldi's Dr. Who is a mixed bag. Capaldi himself is awesome, but the companion sort of curdles and takes over the show in his first two seasons—everything will depend on your tolerance for Jenna Coleman's take on her character.
I feel quite safe in saying your life will not suffer from never watching another Drop Dead Diva episode.
