Votes: 422,165
Une série d'anthologie fantastique. Les scénaristes débordent quand même de l'anthologie en reprenant certains personnages secondaires.

Stars: Kevin McKidd, Ray Stevenson, Polly Walker, Kerry Condon
Votes: 185,464
Une série à couper le souffle. Les décors à eux seuls valent le coup d'oeil. Malgré certainement idée reçue, la série a une vraie fin digne de ce nom. Les scénaristes ont simplement condenser ce qui était prévu comme 2 saisons dans la troisième. Un arc narratif devait constituer une ultime saison mais la fin se suffit à elle-même.
11. Sherlock (2010–2017)
TV-14 | 90 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
The quirky spin on Conan Doyle's iconic sleuth pitches him as a "high-functioning sociopath" in modern-day London. Assisting him in his investigations: Afghanistan War vet John Watson, who's introduced to Holmes by a mutual acquaintance.
Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Una Stubbs, Rupert Graves
Votes: 999,275
Une série à voir impérativement. Chaque épisode est un film (tant par la durée que par la qualité). Le casting composé de Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, H2G2, Fargo, ...) et Beneditch Cumberbatch (Star Trek into Darkness, Imitation Game, ...) est époustouflant.
12. Homeland (2011–2020)

Votes: 361,038
Malgré quelques faiblesses en saison 3, la série parvient à nous surprendre avec des saison 4 et 5 de très bonne facture.
13. Six Feet Under (2001–2005)
TV-MA | 60 min | Comedy, Drama

L'un des meilleurs final de la télévision.

Stars: Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway, Yunjin Kim, Evangeline Lilly
Votes: 595,525
Malgré un final qui nous laisse sur notre fin on retiendra quand même LOST pour son suspense, ses personnages, son ambiance et surtout sa science du cliffhanger!
15. Carnivàle (2003–2005)
TV-MA | 60 min | Drama, Fantasy, Mystery

Stars: Michael J. Anderson, Adrienne Barbeau, Clancy Brown, Debra Christofferson
Votes: 46,880
Une série à l'ambiance proprement unique. Une fresque épique opposant le Bien et le Mal sur fond des années trente, au fin fond des Etats-Unis. Malgré l'absence de fin cette série est immanquable.
16. Twin Peaks (1990–1991)
TV-MA | 50 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
An idiosyncratic FBI agent investigates the murder of a young woman in the even more idiosyncratic town of Twin Peaks.
Stars: Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Ontkean, Mädchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook
Votes: 215,532
À la même manière que Carnivale, mais une décénnie plus tôt. Cette série à une ambiance unique, trop unique pour le public. Faut d'audience la série ne connaîtra jamais de saison 3. Twin Peaks marque pourtant le début des séries tv actuelles.
EDIT : Et pourtant une saison 3 verra le jour... à voir ?!
17. House of Cards (2013–2018)
TV-MA | 50 min | Drama
A Congressman works with his equally conniving wife to exact revenge on the people who betrayed him.
Stars: Kevin Spacey, Michel Gill, Robin Wright, Kate Mara
Votes: 531,047
L'une des série actuelles les plus prometteuses. Espérons que Spacey ne retourne pas trop vite au grand écran. À suivre absolument.
18. Boardwalk Empire (2010–2014)
TV-MA | 60 min | Crime, Drama
An Atlantic City politician plays both sides of the law by conspiring with gangsters during the Prohibition era.
Stars: Steve Buscemi, Kelly Macdonald, Michael Shannon, Shea Whigham
Votes: 203,211
Un casting exceptionnel, un background réaliste et fouillé sur fond de prohibition. La série de gangster à son summum. Quelques légères faiblesses en saison 4 sont amplement rattrapées par une saison dernière saison parfaite en tout points.
19. The Leftovers (2014–2017)

Votes: 4,030
Une excellente série. Un ovni à la télévision française.
22. True Detective (2014– )

Anthology series in which police investigations unearth the personal and professional secrets of those involved, both within and outside the law.
Stars: Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch
Votes: 656,910
Une saison 1 époustouflante. Une saison 2 en demi-teinte. Peut-être que la troisième (certainement dernière) remontera le niveau... ?
