Television Series to Watch Top 6 April 2013

Television Series to Watch Top 6 April 2013







                 GAME OF THRONE

1. Game of Throne - Can't get enough. I read the book and I still find myself watching the tv series just to watch the intrigues and betrayal to take place. The psychological aspect of power and control is so addicting. Just hate it that I know how it will end for some of the characters. I give it the top spot because I'm still hoping the producers go way ahead in the series before George Martin (the author of Game of Throne) finish his series and end up creating their own great ending.



                       VIKINGS
2. Vikings -Doesn't have a strong character built up or a deep story, but I find the religious and lifestyle aspect of the Vikings interesting. Also their attitude that death is so much better than life. Best part was the second episode (WARNING SPOILER) where the Vikings take on the English. Love how they pulled in soldiers one at a time into their formation to allow the other Vikings behind to slaughter them. It took the second spot as it is fast pace. The producers or maybe the director decided to skip the whole development of the characters and fast forward to months and years so one moment the monk is bald and the next he has hair and beard.


                   SUPERNATURAL
3. Supernatural - The Brothers are back! They hunt for monsters that goes bump in the night. Plus with a witty banter to lighten the mood. (WARNING SPOILER) And with them searching to close the Hell's door I find myself wondering how Dean and Sam will pull this off. I really hope this doesn't end with one of the brother sacrificing themselves for another again. That never work. Plus that's sort of a lame way to end a great show (which I am not supporting. They can do so much more). Its live to fight together or die together with a bang.


                      NIKITA
4. Nikita - The Heroine spy with the heart of gold. Who doesn't love this show. It got action, romance, and psychological twist. (WARNING SPOILER) Just hate that Amanda didn't have more twisted agents by her side to fight Nikita. But she did a nice job ruining Division. I do miss Percy though. He had a flair for setting up situation that even the viewers could believe a man of his intelligence could pull off. I hoped for more from Amanda. The storyline with her was a let down. That is why Nikita is four in my book. Or else it would have been up there in the top two.

                  ORPHAN BLACK
5. Orphan Black - (SPOILER) Okay the idea of clones was done many times before. But you really have to give the actress credit. She really can play the different parts. I mean the make up and hair is not so well done. But the contrast when she's playing the good cop Elizabeth to the Science Geek Cosima is so amazing. I really do believe their different people. Also the pace of the series is nice that its not so complicated like not focusing several episodes on how she was going to destroy DNA evidence. She just went to the computer and click delete. I hate it when series make it complicated and prolong this. They drag it on like one episode the character knows he/she has to rid of evidence but take three episodes to do it. I like my television series simple and complicated only enough so I don't loose interest. 

                     ARROW
6. Arrow - The character is base on DC comic. The Green Arrow remake is certainly well done. With scenes of the character training and back story in how adversity can create a man for the better, I find it inspiring and a good dose for the in between in my workout. I know its fiction but watching a guy do several push up and pull up allow me to relate. I just wish they proceed a little faster on the Green Arrow's back story. On how he became strong. The flash back is taking way too long. It should end the first season with him joining the secret army on the island. That way the next season can focus on how he completed his training and betray them.


Expect my last 6 pick...If you have your own top choices, leave comments below.
