In fact, a number of returning series have actually improved, offering more enticing and exciting plotlines and characters than ever before. Fare like Mad Men or Parks &amp; Recreation doesn\u2019t qualify for this last because it\u2019s just as good as it ever was. Here are 12 shows that had their best seasons yet this year.<\/p>\n<p>12. <strong>The Killing<\/strong> (Season 2)<br \/>\nAMC\u2019s slow-burn drama kept its season one mystery going but finally got into some of the more compelling elements of its dark vision of Seattle. The relationship between its prickly lead detectives was the best reason to watch, and its ambiguous ending makes the case for a third season on a network other than AMC, which opted out of continuing the show.<\/p>\n<p>11. <strong>Burn Notice<\/strong> (Season 6)<br \/>\nUSA\u2019s spy show has been somewhat cyclical in how its plotlines have played out, always marooning Michael after the death of his latest confidante. In its sixth season, however, the intensity was upped and a more serious tone has made the show darker and more creative than ever. A recurring guest spot by John C. McGinley of <em>Scrubs<\/em> as the man who trained Michael didn\u2019t hurt either.<\/p>\n<p>10. <strong>Game of Thrones<\/strong> (Season 2)<br \/>\nHBO\u2019s fantasy drama found its characters all over the realm fighting over who could wear the biggest crown. Pairing some of its most fascinating characters \u2013 like young Arya Stark and patriarch Tywin Lannister \u2013 ensured that the dialogue was just as awesome as the action. A mind-boggling, game-changing finale set the stage for an even wilder season three.<\/p>\n<p>9. <strong>Hell on Wheels<\/strong> (Season 2)<br \/>\nAMC\u2019s Reconstruction-era railroad drama found its footing in its second year, restructuring its camp and creating more internal trouble than external conflict. Multiple love triangles and rampant lawlessness made for magnificent character studies, and even main characters weren\u2019t safe from the bloodshed.<\/p>\n<p>8. <strong>Alphas<\/strong> (Season 2)<br \/>\nSyfy\u2019s superhero series set the stage for an intense season-long conflict between the good Alphas and Stanton Parrish\u2019s army of angry outcasts. Involving Dr. Rosen\u2019s daughter, enlisting a spunky new Alpha, and bringing back Summar Glau helped to intensify the war in the run-up to the shocking season finale.<\/p>\n<p>7. <strong>Person of Interest<\/strong> (Season 2)<br \/>\nCBS\u2019 technologically-charged procedural continued to feature excellent guest stars on a weekly basis, framing its antisocial central character as a guardian angel. Allowing its two star detectives to take a greater role in the secretive operations conducted by Finch and Reese has helped to make this show more exciting, and its sense of humor makes it enjoyable to watch.<\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>Dexter<\/strong> (Season 7)<br \/>\nAfter a strong sixth season fueled by religious fanaticism, Showtime\u2019s serial killer drama has achieved its most fantastic season yet by putting its forensic expert protagonist on the trail of two fascinating new characters with homicidal motives rather than just one serial killer. Ray Stevenson and Yvonne Strahovski are stellar additions to the show.<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Episodes<\/strong> (Season 2)<br \/>\nThis joint BBC-Showtime production has become so much more than just a show starring a former \u201cFriend.\u201d Matt LeBlanc has turned into a deeply flawed protagonist, and the rocky relationship between Beverly and Sean was great comedic fodder. An increased focus on the television industry and its zany players turned out to be hilarious on a regular basis as well.<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Boss<\/strong> (Season 2)<br \/>\nStarz\u2019s Chicago-set political show got darker in its second year, revealing the immense corruption and promiscuity rampant within its fictional government. New cast members Sanaa Lathan and Jonathan Groff were terrific, and the show didn\u2019t lose focus even as its protagonist lost control of his senses. It\u2019s a true shame that Starz didn\u2019t feel a third season was worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>The Walking Dead<\/strong> (Season 3)<br \/>\nAMC\u2019s zombie thriller relocated its characters to two new venues, both with unsettling, frightening qualities. Violence has increased exponentially, and new characters The Governor and Michonne have become immensely watchable. The show\u2019s outlook on human nature is by far the most chilling part.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Sons of Anarchy<\/strong> (Season 5)<br \/>\nFX\u2019s motorcycle club drama is becoming fearless, unafraid to kill off main characters in extremely disturbing and brutal manners on an episodic basis. The story is tremendously compelling, and it\u2019s hard to imagine any character on this show getting anything close to a happy ending.<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Boardwalk Empire<\/strong> (Season 3)<br \/>\nHBO\u2019s Prohibition-era gangster show added Bobby Cannavale as the easily offended, out-of-control mobster Gyp Rosetti, and the show has been entirely captivating since. The plot points that Gyp\u2019s behavior has created are truly spectacular, and each episode reveals a deep knowledge of all the show\u2019s multi-faceted characters.<\/p>\n<p>By <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvwithabe.com\">Abe Fried-Tanzer<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dexter_Yvonne_Season_7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dexter_Yvonne_Season_7.jpg\" alt=\"Dexter and Yvonne Season 7\" title=\"Dexter and Yvonne Season 7\" width=\"580\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-110494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dexter_Yvonne_Season_7.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dexter_Yvonne_Season_7-300x182.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year has been flush with quality TV, and a few new freshman shows aren\u2019t the only reason.
