5. The Walking Dead
Don't you just hate it when you get put in a coma and you wake up in a deserted hospital, only to discover a post-apocalyptic world outside? Well that is what happens to Sheriff Deputy Rick Grimes following a shootout with some armed criminals. With Grimes realising his wife and child were missing, his first job was to find them and having to deal with walkers (zombies). Grimes meets new survivors all the time, allowing a human and walker threat to flourish as the show progresses. The show's fourth season is set to air next month, and with Larry Gilliard, Jr added to the cast as former Army man Bob Stookey, the anticipation couldn't be higher. After all, if he puts in anything like his performance in The Wire then we will be given a real treat in the upcoming season.
