- CreatorRonald D. MooreStarsCaitríona BalfeSam HeughanSophie SkeltonClaire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, mysteriously goes back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a dashing Highland warrior and gets drawn into an epic rebellion.An excellent female protagonist, some science fiction/fantasy elements, excellent period costumes & scenery, great love-making scenes that you can both find arousing... What's not to like about this one?
- CreatorJohn LoganStarsJosh HartnettTimothy DaltonEva GreenExplorer Sir Malcolm Murray, American gunslinger Ethan Chandler, scientist Victor Frankenstein and medium Vanessa Ives unite to combat supernatural threats in Victorian London.The show is still finding its niche, but creator John Logan seems to be revelling in all of the grotesques, scandals, and luridness that made the penny dreadful (a type of fiction popular in the Victorian era for its violence and lasciviousness) popular in the first place.
- 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.Though it's a little heavy handed on the violence and swordplay some times, and it certainly suffers from HBO's cookie cutter formula of 'lady on top' and bias towards female nudity, the show still has plenty of excellent characters, intrigue, and witty dialog to elevate it above standard high fantasy that tends to appeal more to a male audience only. There's also some powerful female characters that stand toe-to-toe with the boys.
- CreatorGreg DanielsMichael SchurStarsAmy PoehlerJim O'HeirNick OffermanThe absurd antics of an Indiana town's public officials as they pursue sundry projects to make their city a better place.Women will find Amy Poehler, Aubrey Plaza and Rashida Jones' characters genuinely identifiable and hilarious, whilst men will find something to latch on to from the performances turned in by Chris Pratt, Rob Lowe, Nick Offerman, and Aziz Ansari. It helps that the show is filled with excellent deadpan humour.
- CreatorJulian FellowesStarsHugh BonnevillePhyllis LoganElizabeth McGovernA chronicle of the lives of the British aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the early twentieth century.Though at first this seems like a dry soap opera set in an old English manor house, it's actually an engrossing period drama filled with powerhouse performances. Anyone can enjoy the portrayal of important historical events, and how they may have been viewed by the people who lived through them, and anyone can enjoy the attention to detail paid by this series.
- CreatorAdam ReedStarsH. Jon BenjaminJudy GreerAmber NashCovert black ops and espionage take a back seat to zany personalities and relationships between secret agents and drones.Excellent female characters, hilarious office politics, international espionage, bawdy wordplay...
