On the (lucky) 13th position, we have a series that was both Heather and Trillium's #2. A series that I haven't watched, which is...
NCIS
(18 points)


NCIS is a police procedural/drama series that currently runs for 8 seasons (174 episodes), since 2003. It revolves around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which conducts criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
As said above, I haven't watched the series, but the plot made me very interested and got into my "waiting list". So feel free to write a review.

BAND OF BROTHERS
(19 points)


Band of Brothers is a World War II mini-series that ran for 10 episodes in 2001. The narrative centers on the experiences of E Company of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army. The series covers Easy's basic training at Toccoa, Georgia, the American airborne landings in Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of Bastogne and on to the end of the war, including the taking of the Kehlsteinhaus (Hitler's Eagle's Nest).
I think that the 9.6 (!) rating it currently holds on IMDB, could speak on my behalf, but since I voted it as my favorite television series, I'd like to say a few (well, maybe more) words.
The production is barely reminiscent of television; I am sure many films would be jealous of Band of Brothers' production. Every single detail is set perfectly. The cinematography is so realistic, that you think you're watching an actual war. All of the actors are suberb and once again for an HBO programm (The Wire, Carnivàle) they are relatively unknown outside the series. The story, while based on historical events, not only isn't boring but keeps unfailing interest. And the characters are so fully developed, just like everyday persons; flawed yet extraordinary, not the superhero soldiers many war films present. They are heroes but they are also humans.

P.S.: If you enjoyed Band of Brothers, check out the Pacific (2010). It is another mini-series set during World War II; this time, however, the story focuses on the United States Marine Corps' actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War.

FRINGE
(21 points)


Fringe is a science fiction series that currently runs for 3 seasons (52 episodes), since 2008. The series follows a Federal Bureau of Investigation "Fringe Division" team based in Boston, Massachusetts under the supervision of Homeland Security. The team uses unorthodox "fringe" science and FBI investigative techniques to investigate a series of unexplained, often ghastly occurrences, which are related to mysteries surrounding a parallel universe. One of the creators is J.J. Abrams, who has connected his name with LOST, that's why half of the viewers anticipate a crazy and unexpected ending, while the other half a fiasco.
