Top 10 TV series of 2012 according to Me
This is a list of series that I have watched have not just
picked them from nowhere, I have watched and enjoyed them most of them to the
last episode.
Let’s get started am sure if you are a fun of TV series
whether Action, Drama, Romance, Science fiction or even comedy you know what I mean.
1) Homeland – These series is rated
8.6/10 by IMDB which is a good rating for this newcomer series.
It revolves on a story about Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody(
Damian Lewis) who comes back to his family after 8 years of
going missing in Iraq where he was tortured and corrupted to join the Muslim faith.
The series doesn’t fall off stars that make up the cast with names such as
Claire Danes, the beautiful Morena Baccarin (I like her on V series) and the
young Morgan Saylor who plays Brody’s daughter. Brody is forced to cope with
the disconnect created after leaving her wife who has fallen for Brody’s old
friend Sgt Mike Faber. I pity the army sometime on a serious real note, leaving
your beautiful wife for 8 years and expect no one will bang her, that’s hard to
imagine..lol!! Check it out if you haven’t yet. With season 1 and 2 completed let’s
wait for season 3 2013
2) Suits – Rated 8.9
by IMDB, I think I like watching series that have good ratings, it just
happens.
Suits is a comedy drama series that revolves around Mike Ross
who is a genius. Mike (
Patrick J.
Adams) is introduced to the law firm after a drug deal goes sour and he
ends up being hired by Harvey (
Gabriel
Macht) who discovers this kid can make a formidable duo as lawyers. They
work together combining Harvey’s aggressive and non emotional type of lawyer
and mikes ingenuity .The series is full of some office drama with mike’s endeavors
to win the Sexy Rachel Zane, funny thing is Rachel who struggled to pass her Harvard
exams doesn’t know that mike who used to sit for exams for other students will
end up doing the exam for her. The series has other notable stars such as Gina
Torres and rick Hoffman.
3)Person of Interest –
These series is revolves around a software
genius Harold Finch(Michael Emerson) who made a lot of money by coming up with
a surveillance system that watches everybody’s move by using cell phones, computers,
webcams and street cams to monitor acts of violence and act to stop them.
Together with an Ex CIA operative John Reese they use the machine to apprehend
criminals and prevent deaths. Together the two work against the Police and CIA that
are still looking for the whereabouts of the John Reese. But they don’t know
the mystery guy is john who has inside connection by gaining the trust of two
police officers inside the force Detective Carter and Fusco. Detective Fusco is
a former bad cop who is trying to reform and the fight for justice. The series
is rated 8.3/10 and it sure is packed with some good action, drama and mystery
4) Magic City - I never thought I would enjoy this series but
I did. It talks about the life of Miami Mobsters in the early 1959 who run unscrupulous
drug businesses ,gambling .The story revolves around Ike Evans who runs the
Magnificent Miramar hotel that’s is overlooking the beach of Miami. Ike is struggling
to keep up with the life of running a big hotel, dealing with gangsters, hookers
and raising his family. Her wife the gorgeous Vera Evans(Olga Kurylenko)
played by the Ukrainian beauty with from Cuba who used to be a dancer is also
trying to fit in to these lifestyle and playing the mother to Ike’s children
who are grown. Ike constantly is crossing with the Mob boss the butcher who
loaned him some money to secure the hotels expenses and Taxes. The authority
also is on his heels concerning a murder that they suspect he was involved in.
I don’t want to spill everything get it to see for yourselves. Expect some life
of Miami at night. The series is rated 7.5/10
5)Hell on Wheels – rated
8.1/10 these TV series is awesome. I never thought I would sit down watching
some Western drama. Its based on 1850s struggle to build the Transcontinental
Railroad. Thomas ‘doc’ Durant who supervises the railroad, He appoints Cullen
Bohannan a former soldier and slaveholder and a gunslinger to lead the violent slaves.
Bohannan means business and will do anything to see it done. They also work
together with Lily bell who has the surveying skills. Bohannan is haunted by
his past and has to deal with leading the slaves who are struggling to cope with
Racism with the blacks being downplayed by the white slaves. These series is
full of action, Drama , and even Romance watched season 1 and 2 and really
enjoyed, only one person who dies at the end of season 2 and I feel like its
gonna kill the show. Am not gonna tell you who that is just get it Cowboy.
6) Last Resort – If
you like naval warfare stories with submarines and guns these is your show.
After defying orders to fire a nuclear missile in Pakistan the Nuclear submarine
picks Navy seals in the sea after they came back from a Mission that went wrong
in Pakistan. The captain refuses to fire the missile since it would hurt
innocent people and thus the government turns to him and threatens the whole crew.
The crew has to fight to survive after docking on an abandoned Navo station to
take refuge where they encounter resistance from the natives of the island. The
crew also grows weary and starts resisting the leadership of their captain. The
series is graced by beautiful cast the likes of Daisy Betts, Camille De pazzis,
Dichen lachman. Won’t write much about this show I feel bad it got cancelled
but I enjoyed up to Episode 11 waiting for 12 probably the last episode. I give
it a 7.6/10 though
7) Revenge – Amazing show

with the intention of getting back to the people who killed and destroyed his
father. She’s out for revenge and few people know that. She plays cool and
normal even though she has got plans to get her revenge one person after the other.
I know this show is good and am still watching it so am not gonna tell you much
but look for it if you haven’t done so. Season 1 is complete and season 2 is
almost coming to a close. The show is rated 8.8/10 by TV.com, Similar series are
Ringer or lying game
8) House of Lies – These
show by SHOWTIME is one hell of a drama with Don Cheadle playing Marty kaan a
clever and slick consultant that leads his team of consultants who convince
corporate clients to in striking business deals, mergers and corrupt deals. Cheadle
is also dealing with separation from his Ambitious attractive wife. The show
brings out the satire in America corporate world of today. The show also is graced
by the gorgeous and Sexy Kristen Bell who is struggling to keep her
relationship with his boyfriend alive with his her looks and every man wishing
they would have her. Nice one from showcase..Remember Californication and
Trueblood which are hits too are shows by SHOWCASE.Check it out season 2 is

9)Arrow – Arrow as
the name suggests is story of a Billionaire son who survives a deadly shipwreck
accident and re-appears after 5 years to write the wrongs in the city where he
used to be a playboy carefree young bloke. His father left him a list of the people
that need to be eliminated to clean up the city of Bad business people and
secret society that exists that his father used to be a member of. Oliver queen
is the hooded mystery archer by night and normal son of a rich family during
the day. He also comes into terms with his absence and is trying to reconcile
with her Girlfriend whose father is a detective that is trying to unmask the
mystery of the hooded guy. These series is action packed as Arrow fights with
bad guys and kills them or destroys them. His mother is part of this society
and has a lot of secrets that his stepfather is also starting to know. Like the
Wreckage of the ship. The un accounted money that disappeared from the account
to purchase a warehouse. Great performance by Kate Cassidy.I liked her on Melrose
Place plus she is fierce and sexy..
10) Finally My long
time favorite comedy
– How I Met Your Mother – Its legen – wait for it dary.These
show is not new but it still is my favorite can put the DVD and start from any
season and it still rocks.Barney Stinson and
Robin
Scherbatsky are my favorite. From season 1 – 8, season 8 where
marshal and lily are playing parents to their son and Robin is still confused
since she dated Barney.Barney even tries to woo her once again. I think both
have feelings for each other. Anyway you need to suit up and check out this
awesome series.
