SPLICED FEATURE / TEN TV SHOWS YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING 10 TV SHOWS YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING TV shows come and go, some are good and some not so. We become attached to characters we relate to, feel empathy when bad things happen to them, and sad when when our favourite shows come to an end, especially when they end badly (we’re talking to you Dexter). Of course there are amazing shows that most of us are currently or have already watched like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Sons of Anarchy to name but a few. What will we do once all those familiar characters and the situations they find themselves in cease to exist except through reruns and DVD box sets? Well, that’s why we’ve put together this list of ten shows you should be watching to fill the void when that eventually happens. The criteria for the list were simple. The series had to be a must-see and no longer than one or two seasons in. There are of course more shows that have recently made their debut but did not make it here due to them only having a few episodes out at the time of this list going live. But without further delay, here they are. 44 ISSUE 05
