Best TV shows of 2015
My Rules; Since there are TV shows where their series span over more than one year and then begin another series in the same year (e.g. The Walking Dead). I have decided to review the shows where the series finale ends in 2015 in the UK. Also, the star ratings are out of 5; 5=Classic, 4=Brilliant, 3=Good 2=Average, 1=Bad. The TV shows at the bottom with no rating are ones which have not finished airing yet.
