Michael S's BEST TV series (and a few best movies)
ALL these TV series are nothing short of excellent. Not perfect in the sense that in a long TV series such as for instance Smallville, there will always be filler episodes. But to manage to create 10 seasons in Smallville with an excellent main story intertwined with good short stories linked to the episodes is really a feat in itself.
I guarantee you one thing: no matter your taste, you will be really highly surprised at how good and enjoyable these TV series really are.
A few good movies are also listed but it is not the focus of this list.
Despite my love of science-fiction, there are a few non-science fiction TV series that are surprisingly excellent such as Dexter for instance. I tried to avoid anything related to crimes and murders because I find it kind of depressing. But Dexter converted me to his brand of "justice" in a compelling way!!
In a completely different way, same for Forensic Files.
You will NOT regret watching these TV series and movies listed in this list. That I guarantee you!!
