I think it’s fairly safe to say that we are currently amidst a golden era of high-calibre television on the old ‘idiot box’. Forget all that Reality TV tripe that’s being shoved down our gullets, I’m talkin’ bout the gooood stuff. The type of drama that cable networks like HBO, AMC, Showtime etc have been projecting on to our screens for the better part of a decade. Amazing shows that offer incredibly unique and captivating storylines, brilliantly dramatic performances by talented actors and incredible scores, cinematography and direction.
To celebrate the amazing selection of television drama that’s out there at the moment, I’ve put together a selection of my Top 10 Favourite TV Shows. All of these shows have provided countless hours of top-shelf viewing with each show offering it’s own brilliant elements of uniqueness, including characters with substance, plots with depth, topics that provoke thought and humour so dry you’ll be begging for a slice of day old sponge cake.
I hope you enjoy this list of incredible television as much as I have and get the opportunity to watch each and every episode. However, be warned, if you are known to have an addictive nature or obsessive tendencies, you may want to limit yourself to one show at a time, as all of these shows can single-handedly consume your life. Lastly, if you do decide to delve into this list, keep in mind that you’re gonna need a few spare Sundays (or a lot of spare time) and a comfy couch to tackle this mountain of champagne celluloid! Enjoy. Read on!
