IMO Some of the Best TV Shows
Lists like this are always subjective. Some of these shows you might like and not others. These are just my choices, and in no paricular order (alphabetical because it was easier).
If this list helps someone find a new show to watch and they enjoy it then my work here is done :)
edit - If you find something new from this list and you like it, please let me know in the comments section, I would be interested to hear ^_^

- 41 titles
- CreatorsMaurissa TancharoenJed WhedonJoss WhedonStarsClark GreggMing-Na WenBrett DaltonThe missions of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.A Marvel production that doesn't just focus on super powered individuals. At least for the first 2 seasons anyway.
- CreatorsBrad FalchukRyan MurphyHalley FeifferStarsLady GagaKathy BatesAngela BassettAn anthology series centering on different characters and locations, showcasing different aspects of horror.I like this one because each season is a complete story unto itself, and every season has a different theme.
Also, having some actors come back and play different characters each season shows the versatility of said actors. - CreatorsDavid SchicklerJonathan TropperStarsAntony StarrIvana MilicevicUlrich ThomsenAn ex-con assumes the identity of a murdered sheriff in the small town of Banshee, Pennsylvania, where he has some unfinished business.Not the best show I've seen but it kept me watching... and not just for the soft-core scenes, of which there are quite a few.
- CreatorsVince GilliganPeter GouldStarsBob OdenkirkRhea SeehornJonathan BanksThe trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer Jimmy McGill in the years leading up to and past his fateful run-in with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.Often slow moving, but some of the long takes are amazing. And the fact that sometimes the actors are not always centered in the middle of the screen as they deliver their lines is very refreshing.
- StarsCallan MulveyMatt NableSusie PorterThe story of the Milperra massacre, when the bikie clubs the Bandidos and Camoncheros went to war on Father's Day in suburban Sydney.If you were a motorcycle rider in Australia in the 80s then this will bring back a lot of memories. I know it did for me.
- CreatorsRobert LevineJonathan E. SteinbergStarsJessica Parker KennedyToby StephensHannah NewFollows Captain Flint and his pirates twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel "Treasure Island."A period piece about pirates, what more could you ask for?
- CreatorVince GilliganStarsBryan CranstonAaron PaulAnna GunnA chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family's future.Everything that can be said about this show has already been said. I can add no more.
- CreatorsDan GoorMichael SchurStarsAndy SambergStephanie BeatrizTerry CrewsComedy series following the exploits of Det. Jake Peralta and his diverse, lovable colleagues as they police the NYPD's 99th Precinct.I have never liked SNL but Andy Samburg nailed it with this series.
- StarsKevin SmithWalter FlanaganMike ZapcicAn unscripted series set in Smith's iconic comic shop Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash and captures the world of the neighborhood comic book store and fanboy culture.Real life nerds.... and comic book related stuff. Nuff said.
- CreatorSimon BarryStarsRachel NicholsVictor WebsterErik KnudsenA detective from the year 2077 finds herself trapped in the present day.Good enough to keep me watching to the end. And it's filmed in Vancouver !
- StarsPaul 'Bubble' FergusonJaime WinstoneAndy NymanDuring a fictional series of Big Brother, a zombie outbreak occurs, but the house-mates are unaware of the impending doom outside of the Big Brother House.A mini series that shows when the zombie apocalypse happens there will be no winners.... except maybe the zombies.
- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and his nights committing them.A bizarre concept. Kept me glued to the screen for all 8 seasons.
- CreatorJoss WhedonStarsNathan FillionGina TorresAlan TudykFive hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them.A timeless classic. The first time I saw Westerns and Sci-fi mashed together.
- CreatorsJames BobinJemaine ClementBret McKenzieStarsJemaine ClementBret McKenzieRhys DarbyBret and Jemaine are Flight of the Conchords, a folk-rock band from New Zealand living in New York City in search of stardom.A quirky show interspersed with some amazing songs. It shows that Kiwis can be funny (Pulp Sport is another good example of this).
- CreatorsDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Another show where everything has already been said leaving me nothing to add.
- CreatorBryan FullerStarsHugh DancyMads MikkelsenCaroline DhavernasExplores the early relationship between renowned psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter and a young FBI criminal profiler who is haunted by his ability to empathize with serial killers.If you liked The Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon then you might like seeing how the characters got to where they were in those movies.
- StarsKatherine ParkinsonGemma ChanLucy CarlessIn a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a 'Synth'--a highly-developed robotic servant that's so similar to a real human--is transforming the way we live.A slow moving piece that begs the question - "When and where can I buy me an android?".
- CreatorsDiane Ruggiero-WrightRob ThomasStarsRose McIverMalcolm GoodwinRahul KohliA medical resident finds that being a zombie has its perks, which she uses to assist the police.I don't normally like DC produced stuff, this being a rare exception. And they didn't just try and recreate the comic on the screen.
- CreatorHoward GordonStarsSean BeanMorris ChestnutAli LarterA deep-cover operative, Martin Odum, has an uncanny ability to transform himself for each job. His own identity is questioned when a stranger suggests he's not who he believes.Suspenseful, and with only one season so far a lot of questions need answers !
- CreatorJohn FuscoStarsLorenzo RichelmyBenedict WongJoan ChenIn a world replete with greed, betrayal, sexual intrigue and rivalry, "Marco Polo" is based on the famed explorer's adventures in Kublai Khan's court in 13th century Mongolia.An excellent series that has some of the most beautiful location shots.
I rate this up with Vikings as a supurb historical drama that's sorta based on fact... I mean... there really was a Gengis Khan, Marco Polo... and vikings weren't there? Yeah? - StarsMasaaki SakaiShirô KishibeMasako NatsumeAn adaptation of a Chinese folktale about a pilgrimage to the West undertaken by a monk and his divine guardians.For some reason a lot of my atheist friends love this show. If it had been Christian based instead of Buddhistic they would have ignored it. Maybe it was the cheezy kung-fu fighting?
- StarsChris O'DowdDavid RawleDeirdre O'KaneMartin Moone is a young boy who relies on the help of his imaginary friend, Sean, to deal with the quandaries of life in a wacky small-town Irish family circa 1990.A quaint little comedy out of Ireland, a country not exactly known for its contribution to sitcoms.... and it's stars Chris O'Dowd, a very funny man.
- CreatorSam EsmailStarsRami MalekChristian SlaterCarly ChaikinElliot, a brilliant but unstable cyber-security engineer and vigilante hacker, becomes a key figure in a complex game of global chaos when he and his shadowy allies try to take down the corrupt corporation his company is paid to protect.This show blew me away! Everytime I thought it was going to turn formulaic another twist would happen to keep me fascinated.
- StarsTom RosenthalRyan SampsonTom Basden"Plebs" follows three desperate young men from the suburbs as they try to get laid, hold down jobs, and climb the social ladder in the big city--that happens to be Ancient Rome.An English comedy that shows life in ancient Rome wasn't much different than life today.
- CreatorsPeter DuncanRichard RoxburghCharles WaterstreetStarsRichard RoxburghMatt DayKate BoxCleaver Greene is a drug addict who has a massive gambling debt with some very shady characters and is in love with a prostitute. He's also a very good criminal lawyer, capable of winning unwinnable cases.An Australian quasi-drama/comedy that doesn't try to be either. Such a shame that North Americans had to remake it in order to understand it.
