1. Lost (2004)
A long Journey with highs and lows, but forever one that has had some of the most impactful moments I have felt in any form of entertainment. Starting from the excitement of the departure, getting into the mysteries along the road, going through the confusion of getting lost and ultimately reaching the much expected destination and feel all the raw emotions that go with it. Was there a point to all of it? I don't know. Was it worth it? Definitely.

Lost will forever be one of the most memorable things in my life.

Talk to me about Lost and I'll be the first one to admit its flaws, but I will also try to show you how enlightening this series can be.

2. Dexter (2006)
The most interesting character of all time.

The most thrilling TV series I have ever watched.

The most amazingly well-crafted twists in any form of entertainment.

I rest my case.

Yes I love this show, there's no words on my vocabulary that can express the excellency of Dexter. Lost is much more emotive, but Dexter simply amazes me in every season finale, every episode and every moment. It could grab the 1st place, but there's something about Lost that steals it (and I kinda grew up with it).

Dexter is still up there though, above everything else that goes on Television.

3. Breaking Bad (2008)
What a freaking fantastic series! Insane at least, with no limits at best!

Walter has one of the most fascinating processes of development I have ever seen in a character. That together with the brilliant writing of Breaking Bad makes this series stand out from every other TV series that aired at the same time. This is quality material, 99% pure.

Simply mind-blowing.

4. Game of Thrones (2011)
As Sean Bean said: "It's Lord of the Rings with sex"

Well of course there's a joking tone about it, Game of Thrones is much more than that. There's a main plot that resolves around the conflict for the throne and the various parties involved, but then there's also betrayal, love and twists. The narrative is one of the best of the last years and the characters are all so unique and perfectly developed that by the end of the first episode, there's simply no coming back.

5. Firefly (2002)
A fantastic cast, great western/sci-fi settings, a lot of humorous elements and some episodes that are simply masterpieces of storytelling.

7. The Walking Dead (2010)
A zombie apocalypse-dedicated full TV series? Hell yes! This is the one that gave us what we wanted and the hype was huge! But it somewhat delivered. Good narrative, drama, romance, and plenty of zombie action!

Note: HOLY F*@% at a certain season 2 twist! I died a little inside. One of the finest twists of TV Drama, honestly.

8. Spartacus: Blood and Sand (2010)
THIS IS SPARTACUS!

General Maximus meets King Leonidas in a raw form of entertainment that simply pulls you in and leaves you wanting for more!

-Gods of the Arena (2011)
A much interesting prequel that lives up to the amazing and surprising "Blood and Sand". It's more of the same, but somewhat more refined. While the season "Blood and Sand" is a rough diamond, this mini-series "Gods of the Arena" is a more polsihed work.

9. Prison Break (2005)
This series stands in my top series for the amazing first and second season. It kinda went downhill from there, but still a pretty good show.

I'm just in the beginning, but it already looks very promissing. It's some kind of Sopranos on wheels, really interesting stuff and hardcore TV!
