1.The Walking Dead(AMC)
1.《行尸走肉》（美國經(jīng)典電影有線電視臺）

I'll be the first to admit that when I heard that series about zombies was being made (based on the comic book series), I had absolutely no interest in tuning in -- boy was I wrong. The Walking Dead isn't just about zombies, it's about the human race surviving an apocalypse and how they must form a whole new civilization without the luxuries we have in this world. The downside AMC only makes 13 episodes a season -- we need many more episodes to feed the zombie within!
不得不承認(rèn)，一開始知道有人在拍攝僵尸題材（基于漫畫系列）的作品時，我一點都不來電。最后，事實證明我的想法是錯的?！缎惺呷狻凡⒎莾H僅介紹僵尸，而是揭示關(guān)于人類幸存的啟示，即人類如何建立一個不存在奢侈用品的全新的文明。然而，美中不足的是，該劇一季僅13集，我們想看更多的劇集！

2. Mad Men (AMC)
2.《廣告狂人》（美國經(jīng)典電影有線電視臺）

There's a reason Mad Men cleans up at the Emmys and Golden Globes each year -- it's one of the best written and performed dramas of our time. I may not have grown up in the '60s, but this series does an amazing job at bringing that decade to life and allowing us to understand how things were back in those days.
《廣告狂人》之所以能夠年年橫掃艾美獎和金球獎，是因為這部劇是體現(xiàn)我們所處時代的最好的作品和電視劇之一。也許多數(shù)人并非成長于60年代，但是，讓觀眾走近那十年的生活，理解那個時代所發(fā)生的事情正是本劇的特點所在。

3. Game of Thrones (HBO)
3.《權(quán)利的游戲》（HBO電視臺）

Based on the bestselling fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones tells the tale of two families fighting for power of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Fans of the book series have flocked to this drama and will defend it against naysayers as valiantly as those brave souls who guard the Wall. Like the other contenders in this list, this series has the good fortune of brilliant writing combined with an equally compelling performance week after week and it's all people can talk about on Monday mornings.
《權(quán)力的游戲》，改編自美國作家喬治R.R.馬丁基于的奇幻暢銷小說《冰與火之歌》系列，講述了兩個家族為奪取維斯特洛七國而斗爭的故事。本劇吸引了大量喜愛《冰與火之歌》系列的粉絲，這些粉絲像那些鎮(zhèn)守長城的守夜人一樣勇敢地反對質(zhì)疑者。較之于其他連續(xù)劇，該劇劇本上乘，演員表演出眾，周一早上人人都在聊劇。

4. Homeland (SHO)
4.《國土安全》（SHO有線電視網(wǎng)）

We all loved 24 for a reason -- the thrilling and jaw-clenching drama that unfolded week after week, and some of the same people who brought us all that excitement are behind this incredible series. While Homeland may not have all the action of 24, the psychological action is insurmountable.
大家喜看《24小時》是有原因的——該劇每周為觀眾呈現(xiàn)驚心動魄、扣人心弦的劇情以及那些銀幕背后使觀眾興奮的人。也許，《國土安全》并非完全覆蓋《24小時》的情節(jié)，但是，本劇在心理方面的刻畫，是無法超越的。

5. Revenge (ABC)
5.《復(fù)仇》（美國廣播公司）

When her father is set up to take the fall for a heinous terrorist plot, a young girl's life is completely turned upside down. Years later, upon learning of her father's innocence, Amanda Clarke sets into motion a plan for the ultimate revenge against ALL who have ruined her life -- and she's taking no prisoners and no mercy. We know we're not supposed to like Amanda/Emily, but we just can't help it.
父親陷入可怕的陰謀后，一個年輕女孩的生活徹底顛覆了。數(shù)年后，獲悉真相的阿曼達(dá)·克拉克籌謀了一項復(fù)仇計劃，以報復(fù)所有毀了她生活的人---不留活口、冷漠無情。我們知道不該喜歡阿曼達(dá)/艾米麗，但就是情不自禁。

6. Once Upon a Time (ABC)
6.《童話鎮(zhèn)》（美國廣播公司）

It's got Snow White, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, Prince Charming and all those other legendary fairytale characters we've known all our lives and placed them in our world by the evil queen, along with back stories on all of them -- we are hooked and cannot wait to see when and how these characters will finally remember who they really are and what they will do with that knowledge. It's a fantastic mystery we love watching unfold each week.
《童話鎮(zhèn)》有我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪惺煜さ陌籽┕?、灰姑娘、侏儒怪、白馬王子以及其他童話人物形象，由于邪惡皇后的原因，這些人和人類生活在同一世界，故事以此而展開---我們?yōu)橹?，迫不及待地想知道這些人物是何時通過何種方式記起了自己的身份，又會怎么利用自己的魔法呢？這是一部神秘的科幻劇，每周必看。

7. The Vampire Diaries (The CW)
7.《吸血鬼日記》（哥倫比亞及華納兄弟聯(lián)合電視網(wǎng)）

It's got one of the most compelling love triangles on television and we can't seem to decide who we want Elena to wind up with. Those who have read the books know where Elena is headed and those of us in the know cannot wait to see if TPTB will eventually follow this all-important storyline or continue to take liberties for the remainder of the series.
《吸血鬼日記》一度成為熒屏最引人注目的三角戀愛，作為觀眾，我們似乎也無法確定希望艾琳娜最終與誰長相廝守。讀過原著的觀眾自然知道艾琳娜的選擇，同時，也會迫不及待地了解劇作者最終會選擇尊重原著還是有所發(fā)揮。

8. American Horror Story(FX)
8.《美國恐怖故事》（20世紀(jì)?？怂构荆?/strong>

We all love a great mystery that involves trying to figure out who’s dead and alive, but when you combine that with a spooky horror element, you have one of television's guiltiest pleasures. Each season brings us a new haunted venue, with some of the same actors (playing different roles) and a whole new mystery to solve.
我們都愛看神秘故事,試圖確定誰死了誰還活著。但是，一旦將這種探索與令人毛骨悚然的恐怖元素相結(jié)合，你便體會到劇情帶來的某種罪惡的樂趣。該劇每季有不同的鬧鬼場所，講述全新的恐怖故事，演職人員不變（每季扮演不同的角色）。

9. True Blood(HBO)
9.《真愛如血》（HBO電視臺）

Over the last few years, vampires have been hotter than ever and HBO's True Bloodups the ante by presenting some of the most outrageous (and hottest) vampires we've ever seen on television. It's the coolest show on television and we're proud to be viewers.
在過去的幾年中,吸血鬼題材的作品比以往任何時候都更熱，而HBO電視臺出品的《真愛如血》提出了更多的要求，展示了一些我們在電視上看過的最可惡（和最熱）的吸血鬼形象。這是最酷的電視節(jié)目，身為觀眾，我們感到自豪。

10. Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family)
10.《美少女的謊言》（美國廣播公司家庭頻道）

Got a secret, can you keep it...? ABC Family shows may be for that younger demographic, but millions of adults are completely hooked on Pretty Little Liars. Just when we thought the mystery of 'A' was finally solved, we learn that someone else is pulling the strings -- it's one of television's best mysteries and we kind of hope it never gets solved!
有一個秘密，你能守住嗎？雖然美國廣播公司家庭頻道出品的連續(xù)劇或許針對年輕一代而打造，但是成千上萬的成年人卻迷上了這部《美少女的謊言》。就在我們以為終于揭開了“A”奧秘時,才發(fā)現(xiàn)幕后黑手另有其人---電視劇最具魅力的奧秘之一就在于此，希望它永遠(yuǎn)不會解決！
