It’s a testament to how good the first and fourth seasons were that it still gains a place upon this list, despite a deeply disappointing final season. Do yourself a favor, however, and don’t bother with Dexter‘s final four seasons.

There’s a great opening season, a fantastic fourth season, and in between the two, a couple of decent ones. Hall is absolutely terrific as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police department who moonlights as a serial killer and tries to keep his two lives separate. In its first season, Ryan infiltrates a terrorist cell with nefarious plans after uncovering how the criminal communicate with each other, but when he’s thrust into the field, things get dangerous. He plays famed CIA analyst Jack Ryan in this series that explores the character’s beginnings as an up-and-coming agent whose confidence in his abilities often lead to him clashing with higher-ups like his boss, James Greer (a fantastic Wendell Pierce). John Krasinski’s return to television marks a dramatic departure from his The Office days.

And now that season two is here, everyone gets the chance to ramp up the crazy and get in touch with their inner Spice Girl. The humor is raunchy and sharp, the action is bananas, and the cast is an eclectic mix of talent who all find time to shine on on-screen.

Urban’s gruff vigilante pairs up with a nobody (Jack Quaid), who has his life ruined by a group of corrupt supes. Based on a Garth Ennis comic series, the show takes a darker look at those supernaturally gifted heroes we all love to fawn over. Karl Urban headlines this wild, gory, vulgar ride through superhero-dom from Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and showrunner Eric Kripke.
