We continue the list trend with the best 5 TV series of 2011. I have been watching a lot of TV this year. Mostly sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation, and How I Met Your Mother. But there is nothing really as great as genre television done absolutely well. True Blood started well for me, but the last few series have been a bit of chore for me to follow. And then there’s the surge of shitty telly that is showered upon us. Falling Skies was a bit too boring for me to follow, Terra Nova was trying to mashup Twilight with Avatar, and I gave up on The Event after episode 2.
So, it is indeed, with great relief, that I have been able to manage this complete list of 5 awesome TV series in 2011. They aren’t flawless – far from it. But it did bring a whole lot of excitement back into our living room. So, here it is people, presenting -

After 6 whole episodes of rambling and wandering around, and screaming back n forth at scumbag Shane, we finally arrive at the mid-season finale of Season 2 of The Walking Dead. We all know why this has been so. The budget reduction and simultaneous increase in number of episodes, meant more shooting indoors, and much lesser walker confrontation scenes. And so we got Andrea and Dale fighting over their “rights”, Shane getting all jealous because he’s thrown back in the friend-zone. Carl gets shot because of deer-watching, and the dragging anchor of the season, stupid Sophie wandering off in walker land. The only good thing about this season so far has been the rise and rise of the badassness of Daryl and his blood-thirsty crossbow.
Having said that, the mid-season finale ends on a very high note, and pun intended, it does end with a very big bang. And I am compelled to say, that the wait has been worth it. Hit the jump, as we discuss how all the loose ends fit into the mid-season finale.

The Walking Dead series 1 was so good, that I completed watching the boxset in three days flat. It was critically applauded, and universally lapped up as the next big thing on telly. With hopes and expectations soaring high on Season 2, as well as budget being cut down and episode count increased, a lot could’ve gone wrong. And having seen Episode 1 of Season 2 – What Lies Ahead, it is fairly accurate to say that this series kicks the shit out of the way. It picks up straight from where we left off, with team Atlanta escaping the exploded CDC building and making their way into the unknown, dodging their lives from the biting walkers and trying hard to survive. The things to like in this episode were in abundance, so I didn’t really care about the minor annoyances. Hit the jump to join the discussion. [SPOILER ALERT]

This dude [ Brendan Halpin ] is so wrong. I am perhaps the last horror fan on the planet to see this movie. And with the blogosphere exploding with comments on the dethroning of Shaun Of The Dead as “The Zombie Movie” [ Read Lee's 2009 Good List of movies ], I had to see it for myself. And having watched it now, I’d say it was an enjoyable movie throughout and my 90 minutes well spent. It wasn’t as awesome as Shaun. There were awesome moments, and a kickass beginning. The pace gets slow somewhere in between. But with an awesome geekdom tribute to one of the most awesome movies – Ghostbusters, and Woody Harrelson in top notch form, there is hardly any reason why you shouldn’t check this out. But again, being the geek that I am, I like listing down proper reasons why Zombieland is friggin’ awesome.
Of course, this post is going to be choke full of Spoilers. So if you haven’t watched it, take it on face-value, and GO buy, borrow, rent, whatever!!! WATCH THIS MOVIE.
And for the countdown list , go hit the jump.
