Sons of Anarchy
I started watching this last christmas after my Dad bought series 1&2. It written and produced by the fantastic Kurt Sutter, who was the architect behind the brilliant S.H.E.I.L.D. The shows focuses around a motorcycle gang -who gain money by running guns. The shows strength is it focuses on the relationships inside the motorcycle gang, with the Queen of the bikers 'Gemma' the shows stongest character. It has now been running for five seasons and there is very rarely a dull episode, it is often brilliantly poised between season to season.
True Blood
The Vampire story has become increasingly popular in the last decade or so. However, True Blood plays the genre so well and so differently that it has created a violent, gory and extremely well written show - that would have Tarrintino off his seat in ruptures of applause. The shows strength lies in its ability to have multiple story lines running at the same time, often converging in a thrilling finale.
The O.C.
This was the original american-teen show. For my generation anyway, the character development was brilliant and the plot was always constantly changing, the scene above, is probably one of the most moving bits of television I had ever seen. It was just absolutely incredible. Season 4 was a bit rubbish though, and thankfully they quit while they were ahead.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
As I wrote in a previous blog I've probably seen every episode at least twice. Written, directed and produced by the incredible Joss Whedon. The show finished on the best possible moment, there were so many brilliant episodes and so many twists and turns,
