These are my ten favourite television shows at the moment. Some of them are between seasons while others are currently airing episodes that are actually better than a lot of contemporary cinema. Only 10% of this list is of the "reality" variety:
Boardwalk Empire
Game of Thrones
True Blood
Homeland
Boss
The Walking Dead
Mad Men
Fringe
Have I Got News For You
&
Life's Too Short
4 of them are courtesy of Home Box Office, bringing some serious production value to the output. Most of these star actors more recognised for their film work. And more than a few of them are produced by big name Hollywood directors, incl. Frank Darabont, Martin Scorsese, J J Abrams, and Gus Van Sant.
I guess my point is, TV is finally improving. The standards have been raised thanks to cinema it seems. And its about time.
Any other TV shows you think we should watch?
