10 Current TV Dramas That Show This Is A Golden Era

5. The Walking Dead

When Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma, he discovers that the world is not quite what he's used to, in fact it's dominated by zombies. Rick adapts to his newfound world surprisingly quickly for someone who has just regained consciousness and heads to Atlanta, Georgia where he meets a small group of survivors. But what makes The Walking Dead such a great current drama and how did it garner 10.9 million views for its premiere episode of season 3? Perhaps it's the fact that despite being a zombie drama, The Walking Dead actually manages to be relatively realistic and with a lack of CGI but plenty of fright-inducing makeup, this show definitely gets our vote as one of the best dramas on current T.V. In regard to its critical reception, the show did exceedingly well as a result of its well written script juxtaposed with gory bleeding zombies and has won numerous awards as well as being nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Television Series - Drama. So, if you're the kind of person who maintains that they do not enjoy the zombie genre, then I guarantee that The Walking Dead will have you rethinking your opinion.
