1.The Walking Dead(AMC)

　　1.《行尸走肉》(美国经典电影有线电视台)

　　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!

　　不得不承认，一开始知道有人在拍摄僵尸题材(基于漫画系列)的作品时，我一点都不来电。最后，事实证明我的想法是错的。《行尸走肉》并非仅仅介绍僵尸，而是揭示关于人类幸存的启示，即人类如何建立一个不存在奢侈用品的全新的文明。然而，美中不足的是，该剧一季仅13集，我们想看更多的剧集!

　　2. Mad Men' (AMC)

　　2.《广告狂人》(美国经典电影有线电视台)

　　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.

　　《广告狂人》之所以能够年年横扫艾美奖和金球奖，是因为这部剧是体现我们所处时代的最好的作品和电视剧之一。也许多数人并非成长于60年代，但是，让观众走近那十年的生活，理解那个时代所发生的事情正是本剧的特点所在。

　　3. Game of Thrones' (HBO)

　　3.《权利的游戏》(HBO电视台)

　　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.

　　《权力的游戏》，改编自美国作家乔治R.R.马丁基于的奇幻畅销小说《冰与火之歌》系列，讲述了两个家族为夺取维斯特洛七国而斗争的故事。本剧吸引了大量喜爱《冰与火之歌》系列的粉丝，这些粉丝像那些镇守长城的守夜人一样勇敢地反对质疑者。较之于其他连续剧，该剧剧本上乘，演员表演出众，周一早上人人都在聊剧。

　　4. Homeland (SHO)

　　4.《国土安全》(SHO有线电视网)

　　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小时》是有原因的——该剧每周为观众呈现惊心动魄、扣人心弦的剧情以及那些银幕背后使观众兴奋的人。也许，《国土安全》并非完全覆盖《24小时》的情节，但是，本剧在心理方面的刻画，是无法超越的。

　　5. Revenge (ABC)

　　5.《复仇》(美国广播公司)

　　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.

　　父亲陷入可怕的阴谋后，一个年轻女孩的生活彻底颠覆了。数年后，获悉真相的阿曼达·克拉克筹谋了一项复仇计划，以报复所有毁了她生活的人---不留活口、冷漠无情。我们知道不该喜欢阿曼达/艾米丽，但就是情不自禁。

　　6. Once Upon a Time (ABC)

　　6.《童话镇》(美国广播公司)

　　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.

　　《童话镇》有我们日常生活中熟悉的白雪公主、灰姑娘、侏儒怪、白马王子以及其他童话人物形象，由于邪恶皇后的原因，这些人和人类生活在同一世界，故事以此而展开---我们为之吸引，迫不及待地想知道这些人物是何时通过何种方式记起了自己的身份，又会怎么利用自己的魔法呢?这是一部神秘的科幻剧，每周必看。

　　7. The Vampire Diaries (The CW)

　　7.《吸血鬼日记》(哥伦比亚及华纳兄弟联合电视网)

　　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.

　　《吸血鬼日记》一度成为荧屏最引人注目的三角恋爱，作为观众，我们似乎也无法确定希望艾琳娜最终与谁长相厮守。读过原著的观众自然知道艾琳娜的选择，同时，也会迫不及待地了解剧作者最终会选择尊重原著还是有所发挥。

　　8. American Horror Story(FX)

　　8.《美国恐怖故事》(20世纪福克斯公司)

　　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.

　　我们都爱看神秘故事,试图确定谁死了谁还活着。但是，一旦将这种探索与令人毛骨悚然的恐怖元素相结合，你便体会到剧情带来的某种罪恶的乐趣。该剧每季有不同的闹鬼场所，讲述全新的恐怖故事，演职人员不变(每季扮演不同的角色)。

　　9. True Blood(HBO)

　　9.《真爱如血》(HBO电视台)

　　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.

　　在过去的几年中,吸血鬼题材的作品比以往任何时候都更热，而HBO电视台出品的《真爱如血》提出了更多的要求，展示了一些我们在电视上看过的最可恶(和最热)的吸血鬼形象。这是最酷的电视节目，身为观众，我们感到自豪。

　　10. Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family)

　　10.《美少女的谎言》(美国广播公司家庭频道)

　　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!

　　有一个秘密，你能守住吗?虽然美国广播公司家庭频道出品的连续剧或许针对年轻一代而打造，但是成千上万的成年人却迷上了这部《美少女的谎言》。就在我们以为终于揭开了“A”奥秘时,才发现幕后黑手另有其人---电视剧最具魅力的奥秘之一就在于此，希望它永远不会解决!
