BETTER CALL SAUL:
SEASON 1
Walter White's lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk)
gets his own series, which is so much more than just a
Breaking Bad
spin-off – it's every bit as good!
2
THE LEFTOVERS:
SEASON 1
Two per cent of the world's population mysteriously vanish
in one of the best HBO dramas you've probably never heard
of. Bleak, enigmatic and thought-provoking.
3
MAD MEN:
SEASON 7, PART 2
Matthew Weiner's fantastic retro series wraps
up in fine style, with satisfying yet ambiguous closure
for its major players – and that includes love rat Don
Draper (Jon Hamm).
4
HOMELAND:
SEASON 4
Season Four proved that
Homeland
didn't really
need Nicholas Brody to continue, and is now even
better without him. Although Carrie (Claire Danes) is
still off her rocker.
5
GAME OFTHRONES:
SEASON 4
How do they top the Red Wedding? With a Purple
one. Even more major characters bite the dust in the HBO
phenomenon's fourth year. And there's more dragons, too.
6
THE JINX
Creepy and utterly compelling documentary series on
suspected serial killer Robert Durst, who was arrested for first
degree murder before the finale was broadcast. Must-see TV.
7
DOCTORWHO:
SERIES 9, PART 1
Peter Capaldi's second year as TV's Time Lord
has a greater sense of adventure, as well as a cracking
Dalek story and
GoT
's Maisie Williams as an intriguing
new player.
8
FORTITUDE:
SEASON 1
Nordic noir meets
Fargo
and
The X-Files
in
this chilly mystery series set in the eponymous Arctic
community. Gets progressively weirder as town
secrets are defrosted.
9
EMPIRE:
SEASON 1
Terence Howard headlines as a terminally ill
record company mogul in the sleeper series of 2015. All
the wealthy family dysfunction of
Dynasty
and
Dallas,
but
with hip hop.
10
ORANGE ISTHE NEW BLACK:
SEASON 2
The addictive jailbird series returned with conviction,
humour and heart, as well as (figuratively) beefing up
some of the supporting characters.
