We think you’re gonna be surprised by these picks:
1
NEIL’S PUPPET DREAMS
YouTube
“Well written, amazingly produced, the best of indie TV.” LB
2
THE GUILD
YouTube
“Limited resources. Unlimited Creativity. Take a bow, Felicia Day.” LB
3
COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE
YouTube
“Wonderfully useless. Funny guys being as funny as they can be.” munchman
4
PERSON OF INTEREST
CBS
“Batman without a costume & working for Alfred. What’s not to love?” munchman
5
LUTHER
BBC
“The King of Badass.” LB & munchman
Uh-oh, this, unfortunately, is as far as we could go and still sort of agree.
For #6, LB chose BBC’s INSPECTOR LEWIS (“The epitome of British bucolic mystery” according to LB), but munchman wanted to go with Fox’s FRINGE (“At last, a show that thinks the way I do, only more positive about its negativity,” is how munchman put it).
After that we just started shouting and waving our arms and threatening each other’s lives so, um, that’s it. TVWriter™’s short list of Top 10 series for 2012.
Seeya next year!
