- CreatorSteven S. DeKnightStarsAndy WhitfieldLucy LawlessManu BennettThe life of Spartacus, the gladiator who lead a rebellion against the Romans. From his time as an ally of the Romans, to his betrayal and becoming a gladiator, to the rebellion he leads and its ultimate outcome.Such a good first season (RIP Andy Whitfield), the new Spartacus isn't that bad either, one of my all-time favorite shows for sure.

- CreatorPaul T. ScheuringStarsDominic PurcellWentworth MillerAmaury NolascoA structural engineer installs himself in a prison he helped design, in order to save his falsely accused brother from a death sentence by breaking themselves out from the inside.The 1st & 2nd season are amazing, the only reason why this show isn't at the top of my list is because of the next couple of seasons, but I'd still definitely recommend this.
- StarsAlexander SkarsgårdJames RansoneLee TergesenA Rolling Stone reporter, embedded with The 1st Recon Marines chronicles his experiences during the first wave of the American-led assault on Baghdad in 2003.Marines fighting in the Iraq war, this series is as real as it gets.

- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and nights committing them.Very unique and interesting story-line. Sort of becomes a lot like Death Note if I were to compare it to anything.

- CreatorJoss WhedonStarsNathan FillionGina TorresAlan TudykFive hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them.Space-Outlaws/Western Sci-Fi whoa... I'm not going to lie, there's an ocean of cheese that had me face palming throughout the show but the characters are so well-developed and the little (almost unnecessary) twists & turns the story had to offer kept me always wondering what was going to happen next.
- CreatorTom FontanaStarsErnie HudsonJ.K. SimmonsLee TergesenA series chronicling the daily activities of an unusual prison facility and its criminal inhabitants.Revolves around prisoners, this show is very interesting with some major plot twists.
- CreatorShawn RyanStarsMichael ChiklisCatherine DentWalton GogginsDrama series following the lives and cases of dirty cop Vic Mackey and the corrupt LAPD unit under his command.A show about a team of corrupt LAPD cops, nice story-line & characters.
