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.
