So this is coming a little late because I went to the country and there was no wifi. Dark times. Anyways: Wow! There actually are a lot of great shows that came out this year. Special
mention goes out to Sleepy Hollow, Blacklist, Hannibal, and OUAT Wonderland,
though they didn't make our cut.
1. Hello Ladies- It's an HBO show about an
awkward Brit, trying to find love in LA. It's a hilarious, unique take on what
could be a used up topic. Brilliant, surprising writing and acting all around. -Rachel
2. Broadchurch- BBC genius. David
Tennant. Watch it. The End.-Rachel
3. Orphan Black- Also BBC genius, though it's made in Canada. The actress is on everyone's watch list because she does amazingly. She plays clones of herself interacting with herself and pretending to be clones of herself... What?! One of the best moments comes when the house-wife clone tortures a guy
in her craft closet. -Rachel
4. House of Cards- Netflix made a
name for itself with this dark, Shakespear-esque Drama. Kevin Spacey is
brilliant. He's like Richard III with a Southern accent... so evil, but you
still want him to succeed. It's Season 2 looks just as bloody and brilliant. -Rachel
5. Orange is the New Black- Also
Netflix. Also brilliant. Almost all female cast. The main character goes on a
huge journey from beginning to end of season and the characters are so
different then what I've seen. -Rachel
6. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.- Written
by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen. Marvel. Need I say more. -Rachel
7. Graceland- New Police Drama on
USA. It's about young, undercover agents, living together in a nice pad in
Southern California. The season starts a little rough, but as the episodes go
on, the story finds its footing and the characters start to gel. I'm looking
forward to the second season. -Amy
8. Brooklyn Nine Nine- Andy Samberg
is great and the guests are some of the funniest characters I've ever seen. It
is law without any order and a new look at the traditional cop drama. -Rachel
9. Family Tree- A good friend recommended the show to me earlier this year
and I’ve had the most fun watching it. Selfishly I hope the show doesn’t
continue (gasp!) because the season ended so perfectly. The main character,
(played by Chris O’Dowd, the cute cop in Bridesmaids
and Jessa’s brief husband in Girls)
searches for a deeper understanding of his heritage. It’s a British comedy filled with quirky
characters and the dry, witty British humor that you should love.
Food pairing while watching: pizza and a stout of choice. -Annie
10. Masters of Sex- It's set in the
1950's and chronicles Dr. William Masters' study of human sexuality and how his
research in a taboo subject led to the sexual revolution. It's sexy and awkward
and smart. -Rachel
I also just have to say it- There were GREAT moments in existing TV shows this year. Breaking Bad Finale is the best I may have ever seen. And if you aren't watching Game of Thrones, Sherlock, and Doctor Who you are wrong. -Rachel
