2013's Runaway Television Hits

By Justin Shorter


2013 has seen a lot of fantastic TV shows but there are several that have stood out a lot more than others. Based on popularity, we were able to pull out the top six, beginning with Game of Thrones. It's a HBO television show that's set on an imagined continent that's the home of 7 kingdoms. With the leaders of each of these kingdoms embroiled in a civil war for the iron throne, the show brings out issues about religion, loyalty, sexuality and more.

Up next is Breaking Bad. This show follows Walter White, a chemistry teacher, who falls prey to cancer, and needs to resort to drug dealing to pay for his treatment. With his super pure meth and his underworld ex-student, Jesse Pinkman, they rise up the drug food chain in his quiet Texas town.

Another big hit is Dexter, a show about an LA cop who murders serial killers. How long can this vigilante keep going before he is discovered?

Pretty Little Liars is also grabbing viewers' attention every week. Based on the books by Sara Shepard, the show follows the lives of teenagers who grapple with the disappearance of one of their friends.

For a sublime and trendy show, you simply can't go wrong with Mad Men. Follow Peggy Olsen as she tries her best to shatter the glass ceiling in 1960s corporate America.

You cannot speak about 2013 TV shows without talking about Parks and Recreation. Meet Leslie Knope, the Assistant Director of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Team. Her boss hates his job and hates federal government and her co-workers are equally as apathetic. She needs to do whatever she can to keep the team active, and her overzealousness can be hilarious.

For those who havemissed 2013 TV, watch these shows and you will be all caught up.
