《卫报》2015年度十佳剧集
1 Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - Netflix
When have we been more in need of a joyous, candy-coloured, relentlessly perky, exclamation-mark-ridden, outrageously funny sitcom about … an abduction survivor?
2 Wolf Hall - BBC2
Mark Rylance's Cromwell became one of the people of the year, 475 years after he died.
3 Mad Men - Sky Atlantic
Sky Atlantic The really magnificent thing was not the nice feeling that Don had attained career zenith, but that expectation was so totally confounded.
4 Catastrophe - Channel 4
Catastrophe is full of cynical and sinful people, but at its heart it’s an ordinary love story, couched in some first-class swearing, about sexual honesty, served with a side-plate of adultery, lust, elderly parents, flirtatious colleagues, money worries and a dead dog.
5 London Spy - BBC2
London Spy succeeded in keeping a place in the British schedules for the idea of Hard TV: dramas that demand intense concentration and refuse to give up all their secrets on a first - or even a second - viewing.
6 Master of None - Netflix
Master of None sits in the post-Louie, Curb Your Enthusiasm genre of indie sitcoms: a hybrid of surreal moments and awkward modern manners that’s also deeply moving.
7 Mr Robot - Amazon
Prime A mesmerising, trippy tale of hacktivism, conspiracies and corporate evil.
8 Empire - E4
Call it a hip-hop soap, call it the black Dynasty, call it groundbreaking, but above all Lee Daniels’s everyday tale of record company shenanigans was a ray of sunshine in E4’s weeknight TV schedule.
9 Better Call Saul - Netflix
In the end, Better Call Saul was far better than it had any reason to be. It was funny - but it had real depth. Over its 10 episodes, Better Call Saul delved into territory more emotional (and more weird) than anyone ever expected.
10 River - BBC1
Abi Morgan's shrewd, charming and sometimes trippy detective series, set in the built-up concrete jungle of east London, did something genuinely new.
