10大熱播劇集，你都看過嗎？
Walking Dead(AMC)
1.《行屍走肉》（美國經典電影有線電視臺）
I'll be the first to admit that when I heard that series about zombies was being made (based on the comic book series), I had absolutely no interest in tuning in -- boy was I wrong. The Walking Dead isn't just about zombies, it's about the human race surviving an apocalypse and how they must form a whole new civilization without the luxuries we have in this world. The downside AMC only makes 13 episodes a season -- we need many More episodes to feed the zombie within!
不得不承認，一開始知道有人在拍攝殭屍題材（基於漫畫系列）的作品時，我一點都不來電。最後，事實證明我的想法是錯的。《行屍走肉》並非僅僅介紹殭屍，而是揭示關於人類倖存的啓示，即人類如何建立一個不存在奢侈用品的全新的文明。然而，美中不足的是，該劇一季僅13集，我們想看更多的劇集！
2. Mad Men (AMC)
2.《廣告狂人》（美國經典電影有線電視臺）
There's a reason Mad Men cleans up at the Emmys and Golden Globes each year -- it's one of the best written and performed dramas of our time. I may not have grown up in the '60s, but this series does an amazing job at bringing that decade to life and allowing us to understand how things were back in those days.
《廣告狂人》之所以能夠年年橫掃艾美獎和金球獎，是因爲這部劇是體現我們所處時代的最好的作品和電視劇之一。也許多數人並非成長於60年代，但是，讓觀衆走近那十年的生活，理解那個時代所發生的事情正是本劇的特點所在。
3. Game of Thrones (HBO)
3.《權利的遊戲》（HBO電視臺）
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones tells the tale of two families fighting for power of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Fans of the book series have flocked to this drama and will defend it against naysayers as valiantly as those brave souls who guard the Wall. Like the other contenders in this list, this series has the good fortune of brilliant writing combined with an equally compelling performance week after week and it's all people can talk about on Monday mornings.
《權力的遊戲》，改編自美國作家喬治R.R.馬丁基於的奇幻暢銷小說《冰與火之歌》系列，講述了兩個家族爲奪取維斯特洛七國而鬥爭的故事。本劇吸引了大量喜愛《冰與火之歌》系列的粉絲，這些粉絲像那些鎮守長城的守夜人一樣勇敢地反對質疑者。較之於其他連續劇，該劇劇本上乘，演員表演出衆，週一早上人人都在聊劇。
4. Homeland (SHO)
4.《國土安全》（SHO有線電視網）
We all loved 24 for a reason -- the thrilling and jaw-clenching drama that unfolded week after week, and some of the same people who brought us all that excitement are behind this incredible series. While Homeland may not have all the action of 24, the psychological action is insurmountable.
大家喜看《24小時》是有原因的——該劇每週爲觀衆呈現驚心動魄、扣人心絃的劇情以及那些銀幕背後使觀衆興奮的人。也許，《國土安全》並非完全覆蓋《24小時》的情節，但是，本劇在心理方面的刻畫，是無法超越的。
5. Revenge (ABC)
5.《復仇》（美國廣播公司）
When her father is set up to take the fall for a heinous terrorist plot, a young girl's life is completely turned upside down. Years later, upon learning of her father's innocence, Amanda Clarke sets into motion a plan for the ultimate revenge against ALL who have ruined her life -- and she's taking no prisoners and no mercy. We know we're not supposed to like Amanda/Emily, but we just can't help it.
父親陷入可怕的陰謀後，一個年輕女孩的生活徹底顛覆了。數年後，獲悉真相的阿曼達·克拉克籌謀了一項復仇計劃，以報復所有毀了她生活的人---不留活口、冷漠無情。我們知道不該喜歡阿曼達/艾米麗，但就是情不自禁。
6. Once Upon a Time (ABC)
6.《童話鎮》（美國廣播公司）
It's got Snow White, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, Prince Charming and all those other legendary fairytale characters we've known all our lives and placed them in our world by the evil queen, along with back stories on all of them -- we are hooked and cannot wait to see when and how these characters will finally remember who they really are and what they will do with that knowledge. It's a fantastic mystery we love watching unfold each week.
《童話鎮》有我們日常生活中熟悉的白雪公主、灰姑娘、侏儒怪、白馬王子以及其他童話人物形象，由於邪惡皇后的原因，這些人和人類生活在同一世界，故事以此而展開---我們爲之吸引，迫不及待地想知道這些人物是何時通過何種方式記起了自己的身份，又會怎麼利用自己的魔法呢？這是一部神祕的科幻劇，每週必看。
7. The Vampire Diaries (The CW)
7.《吸血鬼日記》（哥倫比亞及華納兄弟聯合電視網）
It's got one of the most compelling love triangles on television and we can't seem to decide who we want Elena to wind up with. Those who have read the books know where Elena is headed and those of us in the know cannot wait to see if TPTB will eventually follow this all-important storyline or continue to take liberties for the remainder of the series.
《吸血鬼日記》一度成爲熒屏最引人注目的三角戀愛，作爲觀衆，我們似乎也無法確定希望艾琳娜最終與誰長相廝守。讀過原著的觀衆自然知道艾琳娜的選擇，同時，也會迫不及待地瞭解劇作者最終會選擇尊重原著還是有所發揮。
8. American Horror Story(FX)
8.《美國恐怖故事》（20世紀福克斯公司）
We all love a great mystery that involves trying to figure out who’s dead and alive, but when you combine that with a spooky horror element, you have one of television's guiltiest pleasures. Each season brings us a new haunted venue, with some of the same actors (playing different roles) and a whole new mystery to solve.
我們都愛看神祕故事,試圖確定誰死了誰還活着。但是，一旦將這種探索與令人毛骨悚然的恐怖元素相結合，你便體會到劇情帶來的某種罪惡的樂趣。該劇每季有不同的鬧鬼場所，講述全新的恐怖故事，演職人員不變（每季扮演不同的角色）。
9. True Blood(HBO)
9.《真愛如血》（HBO電視臺）
Over the last few years, vampires have been hotter than ever and HBO's True Bloodups the ante by presenting some of the most outrageous (and hottest) vampires we've ever seen on television. It's the coolest show on television and we're proud to be viewers.
在過去的幾年中,吸血鬼題材的作品比以往任何時候都更熱，而HBO電視臺出品的《真愛如血》提出了更多的要求，展示了一些我們在電視上看過的最可惡（和最熱）的吸血鬼形象。這是最酷的電視節目，身爲觀衆，我們感到自豪。
10. Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family)
10.《美少女的謊言》（美國廣播公司家庭頻道）
Got a secret, can you keep it...? ABC Family shows may be for that younger demographic, but millions of adults are completely hooked on Pretty Little Liars. Just when we thought the mystery of 'A' was finally solved, we learn that someone else is pulling the strings -- it's one of television's best mysteries and we kind of hope it never gets solved!
有一個祕密，你能守住嗎？雖然美國廣播公司家庭頻道出品的連續劇或許針對年輕一代而打造，但是成千上萬的成年人卻迷上了這部《美少女的謊言》。就在我們以爲終於揭開了“A”奧祕時,才發現幕後黑手另有其人---電視劇最具魅力的奧祕之一就在於此，希望它永遠不會解決！
