Top TV Dramas often get overlooked because of trashy reality TV. Admittedly, I’m a reality TV junkie, but I like to keep my braincells in tact – not, in fact, by watching less television, oh no, but rather by watching some of the top tv dramas. There are so many from which to choose that I had some trouble picking, so I’ve tried to limit my choices to current, or at least recent, dramas. Some of them are on network TV, others are scrumptious, dark cable offerings, but regardless these are some of the top TV dramas you can still catch either on television or on Netflix, which is like my BFF now.

1. United States of Tara

This is one of my favorite top TV dramas – but, regrettably, it’s been canceled. There are a number of petitions floating around the internet, begging for it to come back for at least one more season. I wish that would happen, but I’m not holding my breath. I just caught up on the three existing seasons through Netflix, since I always missed it when it was on Showtime, and I fell hopelessly in love. That last episode, though, it really wasn’t enough as a series finale. I want more!
