3. Vikings
Like many people, I was slightly wary of History Channel's first scripted programming. I was also pleasantly surprised. This is a fantastic show about Norse legend Ragnar Lodbrok and his family. If you aren't familiar with his story, I would recommend not doing any research on him. There's no way of knowing how closely the series will reflect traditional Viking lore, but it may be better to play it safe to avoid any spoilers. Regardless, this is an intriguing new series that gives some fascinating (although maybe not always 100% accurate) insight into a culture that seems to be underutilized by modern film and television.
The series will return for a second season sometime in 2014 on History Channel.
2. The Walking Dead
This show is great. I love a good zombie movie every now and then, and this delivers just enough zombie action every week to keep me interested. The pace seems to dip a bit every now and then, but it always manages to pick itself back up. I do have to point out though, that they manage to kill off all of the characters that I like while keeping all the awful ones.
The series will return for a fourth season in October 2013 on AMC.1. Game of Thrones
If you haven't seen any Game of Thrones yet, you're probably sick of hearing about how awesome it is and having people try to get you to watch it. Stop reading right now and watch it. The reason your friends are telling you to watch it is because they love you. The acting is incredible, the special effects are stunning for television, and the story (based on George R.R. Martin's series A Song of Ice and Fire) is absolutely breathtaking at times. If you only watch one TV show at a time, this should be that show.
The series will return for a fourth season in Spring 2014 on HBO.
