He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and nights committing them.This series makes you rooting for the serial killer. It will lose some of its charm each season though

- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Its basicly medieval Europe in a fantasy setting. And definitly has more to it then: ''every character can die at any time''.
- CreatorDaisy GoodwinStarsJenna ColemanAdrian SchillerTommy KnightThe early life of Queen Victoria, from her ascension to the throne at the tender age of 18 to her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert.I always said: the crown took the wrong queen. This has the right queen.

- CreatorJulian FellowesStarsHugh BonnevillePhyllis LoganElizabeth McGovernA chronicle of the lives of the British aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the early twentieth century.Delightful costume drama. It does get a little bit to feel good after season 4
- CreatorLisa JoyJonathan NolanStarsEvan Rachel WoodJeffrey WrightEd HarrisAt the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, waits a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence.Its an extremely clever action-mystery. Especially since its about robot cowboys.
- CreatorEileen AtkinsJean MarshStarsStella GonetLouise LombardAden GillettTwo sisters in 1920s London work to achieve success in the dressmaking business.An entertaining costume drama. It does get less good after each season and ends with a cliffhanger. My advice: just watch season 1

There, she meets a dashing Highland warrior and gets drawn into an epic rebellion.A very far fetched but nontheless entertaining series. Be warned its more game of thrones then downtonabbey.

Cosimo de Medici finds himself at the helm of his banking dynasty when his father, Giovanni, dies suddenly.An historical drama that does not change real history to much.
