Pretty good year really with solid returns and a couple of newbies that show potential. It was also a year I watched more foreign TV and there really is a treasure trove there folks. So the best for the year, in no particular order except start with the reliables
1. Breaking Bad – Always going to be hard to nail the ending to such a brilliant show but they did rather well
2. Mad Men – simply a solid reliable performer that never disappoints
3. The Good Wife – could just about be my favourite show that doesnt tax the brain but always keeps one interested
4. Misfits – unique and entertaining
Some Newbies that shone
5. Orange is the New Black
6. Masters of Sex
7. Vikings
8. The Americans
And the big losers
9. Homeland Season 3 – some potential early on but then died. If only Carrie had too
10. The Mentalist – specifically the Red John reveal. After 23 seasons a complete joke. The new direction of the show is good though
11. Agents of Shield – major disappointment
12. Dexter Season 8 – simply at a loss to explain that ending
As for some foreign shows?
The Returned – creepy and gripping as only the French can do it
Borgen – great political drama/soap from Denmark
The Bridge – the original and best
And as always some simply brilliant docos. No one does better sport than ESPN 30 for 30
Other notables – Keating, Fruitvale Station, Blackfish
