Even though I have been away for a large portion of this year and probably missed lots of great telly, some of what I have seen has been incredible!
Number 5 - CSI: NY
The CSI franchise is my favourite thing on TV and the final season was so bittersweet to watch. NY was my favourite of the 3, so seeing it end was tough, but it ended on a high point with some great episodes, and everyone ended up happy!
Number 4 - Homeland
Series 1 and 2 of Homeland contain some of the best acting I have ever seen, and the story left me on the edge of my seat every week. While the first half of this series wasn't as good, the second half made up for it and last nights series finale.... so many tears were shed on my part. I'm looking forward to searie 4 already!
Number 3 - Africa
Nothing can beat a good bit of Attenborough, and BBC natural history unit. I would watch nature docos all day every day if I could. This series focused on different areas of Africa each episode, and showed the diversity of the huge continent, from desert to savannah to the oceans. The elephant scene broke me, as did Attenborough playing with the blind baby rhino. I can't wait for what ever Attenborough has in store for us next year!
Number 2 - Strictly Come Dancing
I loooooooove strictly and have watched it every year since it started! I love all the sparkles and glamour, and also seeing peoples relationships grow with the cast. This year has been super good, with some amazing dances - Abbey's waltz in the final, Susannah's paso doble, and Sophie's Charleston. I have also fallen in love with one of the professionals - Kevin from Grimsby. He is such as sweetie, and when (yes when!) I am on Strictly one day I want him to be my partner.
Number 1 - Top of the Lake
Set in New Zealand, a pregnant 12 year old girl goes missing and no one seems to care, apart from one police officer. It is a very dark program exploring the workings of the remote town it is set in. The story is intense, the characters are strong and the scenery is incredible. Definitely one of the best series I have ever watched.
What's been your favourite telly this year?
