- 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.A series with grand scope, perhaps the most beautiful TV series ever made.

- CreatorSam EsmailStarsRami MalekChristian SlaterCarly ChaikinElliot, a brilliant but unstable cyber-security engineer and vigilante hacker, becomes a key figure in a complex game of global chaos when he and his shadowy allies try to take down the corrupt corporation his company is paid to protect.Where do I start, this series has been called a successor to breaking bad, and one of the finest shows of the year. It's has shown a nod to fight club, and even used its ending music for a crucial scene. It's got the most unimaginably perfect blend of retro/techno music and a modern sleek cityscape. The characters are beautifully written, and the show has more twists and turns than any other series I have ever seen. If this level of quality continues you will not only see it at the top of my list but also most likely at the top of the main imdb top rated shows. I can easily see this being called the best series of all time. The writers really do have a colossal hit on there hands and they must know the pressure they are under not to let the genuis series decline.
