Best Drama Series Ever
My favorite DRAMA series of all time.
For my favorite COMEDY series use the following link:
http://www.imdb.1eye.us/list/ls052123719/
There are only series included where I have seen at least one season.
As I want a certain consistency over the whole duration of a show to rate it high, I reduce the OVR Score by 4 if I have only watched one season, 3 if only two, and 2 if only three. Obviously this won't be the case if the series was cancelled earlier.
NEW ON THE LIST:
ON THE RISE:
IN DECLINE
SOON ON THE LIST (right now watching season one)
