5.The Walking Dead
The best zombie TV serie continues to be The Walking Dead, where the zombies take a backseat as the story is more about survival, rations and in what kind post apocalyptic civilation the humans would like to live in.
Countless amounts of impressive gore effects, human deaths and of course the skin of the zombies keep this visually appealing for horror fans, and combined with some pretty good leading characters, this sub genre remains popular.
4.Dexter
The bloodsplatter analyst overday who seeks and delivers self justice at nights looking for criminals who got away, Dexter is a look into a serial killer's mind and life, featuring a fun cast of support characters.
The intro is a morning routine of familiar tropes, and the monologue narration of Dexter is smooth to listen to. The most fun with Dexter is that pretty much for every season, Dexter has to face a new major villain, and The Trinity Killer from Season 4 is my favorite of them.
3.Breaking Bad
Similar to the previous TV serie in the sense that both protagonists will stop at nothing to protect their families while leading dual lives, Walter White is a former chemist teacher gone drugs cooking gang lord who outplays his opponents every time.
There are some very badass characters that assist or conflict with Heisenberg such as Saul, Jesse, Mike and especially Gus, each of them acting out their persona's beautifully. Breaking Bad is an intense crime thriller!
2.Game of Thrones
Easily the most popular serie even as we eagerly await the final season, while spin-offs, prequels and such are more or less announced, Game of Thrones took the world by storm, and the action, the acting and most of all the political mind games is what keeps me watching.
Almost all of the characters have interesting personalities, backgrounds and quotes to say, while sex and gore can be very effective in their own ways. With a few fantasy elements happening, Game of Thrones is mostly about family, power and control.
1.Twin Peaks
David Lynch's unique TV series known as Twin Peaks is full of interesting characters, scenes, dialogue and most of all mystery. With a memorable intro and outro playing for each episode, it's very binge worthy, but most of all, it's a one of a kind.
Special Agent Dale Cooper investigates the Washingon stated town where a murder has taken place, and the numerous characters accompany and enhance his ascended visit as he takes another sip of damn fine coffee.
Twin Peaks is truly special and can be cryptic and creepy at times too. The recent third season shall personally be reviewed in the upcoming horror month of october, as that season takes a dramatic new turn.
Oh, and about my two Top 25 lists from 5 years ago? Don't worry, they will both be getting an update later this year.
