Top 20 New Shows of 2010: #5

My annual TV Awards, the AFT Television Awards, are given out during the summer. But this year, during both the spring and the fall, produced many impressive new television series. As 2010 closes out and 2011 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#5: The Walking Dead
A truly awesome two-hour pilot started off a tragically short six-episode first season and demonstrated that it’s possible to create compelling, dramatic television about zombies and the survivors who have been left behind. The show is suspenseful, gripping, and decently acted. Its potential for the future is what’s most promising, and season two in 2011 is sure to be much (and rightly) anticipated.
