My Favourite TV shows from the 2010s

Banshee

Wow, what a great show and a New Zealand actor in the main role too. Has you cheering him on just about every episode as he deals with some scum bag.

Breaking Bad

A unique show where the villains are the main stars, but they are villains that you can cheer for. They are manufacturing P, but you like them anyway. I love the way the terminally ill hero starts out with good intentions, just to ensure that his family are supported financially when he dies, but gradually he gets in deeper and deeper. There is no glorifying of it and it’s a great warning to those who are considering going that way themselves.

Dexter

Probably one of the greatest shows ever made. So much shock value and a unique concept. A serial killer who you can actually cheer for! Makes you wish there really were guys like Dexter around.

Game of Thrones

What an awesome show. So much going on and plenty of shocks and surprises. Sadly, it had to end some time. 

 Gotham

In this show we get to see Batman when he was a boy and how all the villains made a name for themselves. Awesome! Takes us right up to the day he becomes Batman.

Sons of Anarchy

We seem to have more and more shows where the criminals are the heroes of the show. Watched the first 6 seasons one after the other in a space of few weeks to catch up. Had me hooked all the way through. Jumped the shark though with season 6 I felt.

Spartacus

What a fantastic show. Makes Game of Thrones look tame. It's also filmed in New Zealand with lots of New Zealand actresses and actors.
