1) Game Of Thrones:
While
a civil war brews between several noble families in Westeros, the children of
the former rulers of the land attempt to rise up to power. Meanwhile a
forgotten race, bent on destruction, plans to return after thousands of years
in the North. This show not only pleases fans of fantasy but also introduces
people who don’t really like that genre with its bloody violence and sex, not a
show to be missed.
2) Breaking Bad: Mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher Walter White thinks
his life can't get much worse. His salary barely makes ends meet, a situation
not likely to improve once his pregnant wife gives birth, and their teenage son
is battling cerebral palsy. But soon Walter learns he has terminal cancer.
Walter makes a desperate bid to earn as much money as he can in the time he has
left, with the help of one his ex-students he turns an old RV into a meth lab
on wheels. The show is compelling and only gets better with every season.
3) The Wire: This series looks at the narcotics scene in Baltimore through the eyes of law enforcers as well as the drug dealers and users. Other facets of the city that are explored in the series are the government and bureaucracy, schools and the news media, the show is great at changing the tone of the scenes from violent and intense to heartbreakingly sad as characters and situations change with the last two seasons being one of the best on telly.
4) This Is England: The story takes place during the 1986 FIFA World Cup. As Shaun completes his last school exam, he realises he will have to find his way in the world. His now-estranged friends including Woody, Lol, Smell, Gadget and Meggy, are still around the area, looking for love, entertainment and employment. The show never shies away from tough watching subjects like drugs, relationships and abuse.
5) Misfits: Five juvenile offenders with nothing in common find themselves working together on a community service project, and their differing personalities soon cause sparks to fly. But that's nothing compared to what happens when a freak electrical storm hits town. Soon finding that they are developing superpowers in the E4 black comedy.
6) True Detective: An anthology series in which police investigations unearth the personal and professional secrets of those involved, both within and outside the law. The opening season stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrleson and explores both character and their own personal demons surrounding a particular case.
7) Ash Vs Evil Dead: Ash has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead until a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind and Ash becomes mankind's only hope. Hilarious and extremely bloody this is the perfect continuation of the horror movie classics.
8) Mr Robot: Mr. Robot follows Elliot, a young programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and a vigilante hacker by night. Elliot finds himself at a crossroad when the mysterious leader of an underground hacker group recruits him to destroy the corporation he is paid to protect. Mysterious and exiting this show will keep you on your feet with dramatic situations constantly changing.
9) Band Of Brothers: The story of Easy Company of the US Army 101st Airborne division and their mission in WWII Europe from Operation Overlord through V-J Day. Emotional and compelling with one of the most realistic war dramas ever made with the characters emotional situations effecting the viewers, created by the creators of Saving private Ryan, Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg
10) Fargo: Various chronicles of deception, intrigue and murder in and around frozen Minnesota. Yet all of these tales mysteriously lead back one way or another to Fargo, North Dakota. With a vast variety of well known names including Martin Freemon in season 1 and Patrick Wilson in season 2, with its realistic violence and comedy that shouldn't be missed.
