- CreatorDavid 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.if you are reading this you should be watching game of thrones instead.
- CreatorDavid SimonStarsDominic WestLance ReddickSonja SohnThe Baltimore drug scene, as seen through the eyes of drug dealers and law enforcement.ditto game of thrones
- CreatorAnn BidermanStarsMichael CudlitzShawn HatosyRegina KingThe lives of Police Officers working for the Los Angeles Police Department.RAW and under rated, best cop portrayal show since the wire (I know the wire is not purely a cop show!).
- CreatorDavid ChaseStarsJames GandolfiniLorraine BraccoEdie FalcoNew Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano deals with personal and professional issues in his home and business life that affect his mental state, leading him to seek professional psychiatric counseling.I got so into this I only ate Italian food while watching. Also do not judge on the first ep, keep going.
- CreatorAaron SorkinStarsMartin SheenRob LoweAllison JanneyInside the lives of staffers in the West Wing of the White House.best political drama ever created.
- CreatorLarry DavidStarsLarry DavidCheryl HinesJeff GarlinLarry David stars as an over-the-top version of himself in this comedy series that shows how seemingly trivial details of day-to-day life can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events.not for everyone, another under rated gem. "The Ski Lift" is one of my personal favs.
- StarsYutaka KoizumiYui MakinoMichael C. PizzutoThis surreal dramedy follows Satou Tatsuhiro as he attempts to escape the evil machinations of the NHK.might not be well known but an great show, quite odd but dont be put off by the first episode. It gets really good.
- DirectorSabuStarsKen'ichi MatsuyamaKarinaMana AshidaA man adopts his six-year-old aunt and raises her as his own kid.such a sweet show about a man caring for his grandfathers young illegitimate child after he passes. One of the greatest character building shows I have seen.
- CreatorBruno HellerWilliam J. MacDonaldJohn MiliusStarsKevin McKiddRay StevensonPolly WalkerA down-to-earth account of the lives of both illustrious and ordinary Romans set in the last days of the Roman Republic.I was really disappointed because this is a great historical show but only had 2 seasons due to huge budget needed (or so I heard, not sure). Still worth the watch.
- CreatorLarry DavidJerry SeinfeldStarsJerry SeinfeldJulia Louis-DreyfusMichael RichardsThe continuing misadventures of neurotic New York City stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his equally neurotic New York City friends.The show about nothing, but in reality it is about everything. Not many 90s shows could get away with some of the topics approached in the show but done in such a clever way that NBC allowed it.
- CreatorDavid LittMichael J. WeithornStarsKevin JamesLeah ReminiJerry StillerDeliveryman Doug Heffernan has a good life: He has a pretty wife (Carrie), a big television, and friends with which to watch it. Then Carrie's goofy, annoying father Arthur moves in with them.This is on here for Jerry Stiller, he makes this show.
About a couple Carrie and Doug Heffernan who let Carries oddball father (Jerry Stiller) live in their basement after he burns down his house. Jerry Stillers character is similar to how he played Frank Costanza. - CreatorAaron KorshStarsGabriel MachtPatrick J. AdamsMeghan MarkleOn the run from a drug deal gone bad, brilliant college dropout Mike Ross finds himself working with Harvey Specter, one of New York City's best lawyers.works because the characters are so well written.
- CreatorAlan BallStarsPeter KrauseMichael C. HallFrances ConroyA chronicle of the lives of a dysfunctional family who run an independent funeral home in Los Angeles.Even though an interesting death happens every episode, it really does not feel as morbid as it should considering the topics covered.
- CreatorFrank DarabontStarsAndrew LincolnNorman ReedusMelissa McBrideSheriff Deputy Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma to learn the world is in ruins and must lead a group of survivors to stay alive.oh man....this might be my personal fav show on this list. It doubles as a preparation guide for a zombie apocalypse.
- CreatorJ.J. AbramsAlex KurtzmanRoberto OrciStarsAnna TorvJoshua JacksonJohn NobleAn F.B.I. agent is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist and his son in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena.Another under rated show. My fav sci fi show ever. Just different and really well done, with great characters. Every fringe event contains such interesting concepts. Even if you do not like sci fi I would still recommend this show because it feels a lot more realistic than most.
- CreatorGlen A. LarsonRonald D. MooreStarsEdward James OlmosMary McDonnellJamie BamberWhen an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony, Earth.Before I saw this I though it was only something super nerdy kids who dress up as a star wars/trekk people would watch. But I was wrong, this is a really great show that most could enjoy. Takes a crazy interesting story and follows through.
- CreatorPaul AbbottJohn WellsStarsEmmy RossumWilliam H. MacyEthan CutkoskyA scrappy, feisty, fiercely loyal Chicago family makes no apologies.Close knit family who have interesting (to say the least) events happening in their lives. Great show, great characters. William H Macy deserves a special shout out because I think he is perfect, but all the characters are great. Have also seen the English version, also good, but I like this better.
- CreatorAaron SorkinStarsJeff DanielsEmily MortimerJohn Gallagher Jr.A newsroom undergoes some changes in its workings and morals as a new team is brought in, bringing unexpected results for its existing news anchor.I have faith that this could be a really top notch series. Same creator as the west wing.
- CreatorEileen HeislerDeAnn HelineStarsPatricia HeatonNeil FlynnCharlie McDermottThe daily mishaps of a married woman and her semi-dysfunctional family and their attempts to survive life in general in the town of Orson, Indiana.I love this show!! A good alternative to serious/violent/crazy shows. Sue Sue Heck is my favorite character (name not a typo, hahahah).
- CreatorSteven LevitanChristopher LloydStarsEd O'NeillSofía VergaraJulie BowenThree different, but related, families face trials and tribulations in their own uniquely comedic ways.I was the biggest fan of season 1 and 2 but I think this show is slowly starting to drop in quality =(.
