- CreatorDavid ChaseStarsJames GandolfiniLorraine BraccoEdie FalcoNew Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano deals with personal and professional issues in his home and business life that affect his mental state, leading him to seek professional psychiatric counseling.The Sopranos is by far THE best television series ever produced. David Chase and Matthew Wiener absolutely killed it. A show with a GoodFella's feel and a family/characters you actually care about. Set in the best location ever, New Jersey.
- CreatorMatthew WeinerStarsJon HammElisabeth MossVincent KartheiserA drama about one of New York's most prestigious ad agencies at the beginning of the 1960s, focusing on one of the firm's most mysterious but extremely talented ad executives, Donald Draper.This is absolute proof that anything David Chase touches turns to gold. Matthew Wiener originally on the producer & writing team of The Sopranos turns a show of his own into a Picasso. Mad Men has the best writing of any television show ever. A hard hitting period drama that doesn't disappoint.
- CreatorTerence WinterStarsSteve BuscemiKelly MacdonaldMichael ShannonAn Atlantic City politician plays both sides of the law by conspiring with gangsters during the Prohibition era.Tim Van Patten, also a member of the David Chase "The Sopranos" team comes out to make his own drama. Steve Buscemi (one of the best actors in television) comes to star in this series. The boardwalk set and Atlantic City is it's star with a ensemble cast that kills. Michael Shannon and others are about the best actors which help make the show fantastic. By far the best period drama.
- CreatorBeau WillimonStarsKevin SpaceyMichel GillRobin WrightA Congressman works with his equally conniving wife to exact revenge on the people who betrayed him.I don't think we have ever seen the likes of this on Television before. A ruthless Congress man doing LITERALLY whatever it takes to get what he wants. House of Card's witty and smart writing make a fantastic drama. Kevin Spacey doing his occasional narrating at the camera is absolutely *beep* fantastic.
- CreatorMitch GlazerStarsJeffrey Dean MorganOlga KurylenkoSteven StraitA hotelier conducts business with a mob boss among the glitz and glamour of late-1950s Miami Beach.Ruthless Mob boss Ben Diamond and Ike Evans collide for control of Ike's beloved hotel. I can not express how much I love Danny Huston and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as actors, some of the best acting is in this show and they are the definitive reason why. Magic City has the most beautiful set pieces I have ever laid eyes on in a television show. The houses they film at/in are absolutely stunning. The cars are absolutely crazy. The most stunning period drama is right here and it's no disappointment.
- CreatorFarhad SafiniaStarsKelsey GrammerConnie NielsenHannah WareMayor Tom Kane, diagnosed with a dementia disorder, struggles to keep his grip on power in Chicago.Boss is gritty, dark, and crazy. Kelsey Grammer plays mayor of Chicago who is diagnosed with a dementia disorder, struggles to keep his grip on power. A dark tale of this mayor is absolutely one of the best written. His hallucination scenes are absolutely some of the best acting and writing I have ever seen. I can't count how many times I've watched this show over again. A huge disappointment that it is canceled.
- CreatorVince GilliganStarsBryan CranstonAaron PaulAnna GunnA chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family's future.
- CreatorGraham YostStarsTimothy OlyphantNick SearcyJoelle CarterEnforcing his own brand of justice, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, a strong-willed, quiet law-man haunted by his past, returns to his native town to see that justice is served to those in need.
- CreatorJoe GaytonTony GaytonStarsAnson MountColm MeaneyRobin McLeavyThe Civil War is past, but former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon can't put it behind him. Fresh are the memories of the death of his wife, killed at the hands of Union soldiers, an act that sets him on a course of revenge.
