Votes: 996,114

10/10 - Almost perfect

In Progress - Season 4.

Amazing acting; especially from the two leads. Superior winding, twisting and turning plots with a good dollop of humour. Perfectly paints Sherlock in our modern world. The best of a British set drama.

5. The Wire (2002–2008)

TV-MA | 60 min | Crime, Drama, Thriller

The Baltimore drug scene, as seen through the eyes of drug dealers and law enforcement.

Stars: Dominic West, Lance Reddick, Sonja Sohn, Wendell Pierce

Votes: 376,456

9/10 - Outstanding

Another show that needs little comment, was considered the best show ever until Breaking Bad showed up and levelled the playing field. Once your hooked your never forget it; a classic.

6. Fringe (2008–2013)

TV-14 | 46 min | Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi

Votes: 257,244

9/10 - Outstanding

Series completed - 5 Seasons.

At first I didn't warm to the characters but once you do everything changes from that first season. You become one with the characters by the end it. John Noble plays his character (Walter Bishop) spectacularly; bringing wonderful humour to the show. The plot is stupendous and allows for a huge spectrum of variety which in turn causes the cases of the week to be consistently brilliant.

7. True Detective (2014– )

TV-MA | 60 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery

Anthology series in which police investigations unearth the personal and professional secrets of those involved, both within and outside the law.

Stars: Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch

Votes: 654,913

9/10 - Outstanding

In progress - Season 3.

A hardcore sophisticated drama near zero action yet your drawn to the screen like a moth to light. Mesmerising script and beautiful cinematography. Matthew McConaughey is mind blowing as his character in season one (Rust Cohle) along with the sensational Woody Harrelson (Marty Hart).

Each season is independent of each other and season two just was not on the same level. With more characters and the case not as interesting it couldnt hold par.

8. Hunter x Hunter (2011–2014)

Stars: Andy Whitfield, Lucy Lawless, Manu Bennett, Daniel Feuerriegel

Votes: 256,674

9/10 - Outstanding

Series completed - 3 Seasons and the miniseries Gods of the arena.

A very entertaining script, i assume not historically correct but does so well to pull you into the setting along with the gore and nudity. One of the best prequels i have seen with Gods of the arena which ties in and adds to the main story of spartacus exceedingly well. Packed with treachery, twists and turns it is one of the great shows were you feel you dont just watch the journey of Spartacus but live it with him.

10. Prison Break (2005–2017)

Votes: 578,486

9/10 - Outstanding

Series Completed - 4 Seasons.

People thought it could only get worse after the first season but for me it maintained a brilliant plot, acting and entertainment. Robert Knepper was dazzling as T-bag; bringing one of the best ever villains to our screen.

The Sherlock of diagnostic medicine. Huge Laurie takes the crown but special honours to an amazing supporting cast. Some how a show stuffed with humour most of which is the dark variety is also able to pluck at all your emotions. The epitome of a character driven show where each member clicks with each other bringing a marvel to your screen. Props to a few episodes that are no less than masterpieces.

8/10 - Very good

Series completed - 6 Seasons.

A great gritty drama. James Gandolfini/Tony pulls you magnificently in to the gangster world. Brilliant acting from the cast with fantastic chemistry between Mr & Mrs Soprano. A show that packs a powerful emotional punch. Not to mention the highly controversial ending, I think it worked but don't read up on it! Witness it after 6 seasons.

8/10 - Very good

Series complete - 7 Seasons.

Led by a superior actor and character (Jon Hamm/ Don Draper) you cannot help but weirdly be drawn into his life leaving you asking, who is Don Draper? A great 60's drama. John Slattery as Roger Sterling is gloriously humerous and able to size up any situation in a single hilarious sentence. You want to watch this just for the marketing pitches. There will be at least one of them you WILL NOT forget.

Sensational acting from Kevin Spacey especially but the entire cast are super. A show which is surprisingly interesting given its about politics :P , a testament to how well show comes together.
