Nostalgia Alert! 2018’s Top 25 TV Anniversaries
With so many new scripted shows on the air (making it very hard to choose what to stick with) that people are now just watching old E.R. episodes on Hulu instead, maybe it’s a fine time to look back and revisit some TV classics.
There are plenty of iconic shows to celebrate in 2018 – from modern giants like Breaking Bad to iconic sci-fi series like The X-Files and Deep Space Nine. There’s the bloody vampiric splendor of True Blood, the non-stop suplexes of Monday Night RAW, and the late ’90s glory of WB hits like Dawson’s Creek and Felicity.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance Would Make a Great TV Series
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is currently available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Be sure to check out our full review right here.
I’m 36 hours into my first playthrough of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and while I was trotting along the lush Bohemian countryside with my trusty steed (Pebbles), it occurred to me that the game’s story would be perfect for television. Sword and shield epics like Vikings, Game of Thrones, and Knightfall are very popular nowadays, so why not adapt developer Warhorse Studios’ new RPG?
Creating any new series is a difficult undertaking, but before the studio executives crunch the numbers, showrunners scout locations to film, sets are built and actors are cast, having a great story is paramount. KCD has one of those classic rags to riches tales with its lead character, Henry. He’s just a regular guy — the son of a blacksmith who enjoys throwing poop at people’s houses, drinking at the local pub, flirting with the ladies, and occasionally trying his hand at swordplay even though he’s not very good when the game begins. After an attack on his village results in the death of his parents, Henry sets off on an epic quest for revenge where he gets involved in a large-scale conflict involving lords, kings, and popes.

AMC’s McMafia Is The Godfather for a New Generation
If you’re looking to scratch that crime drama itch then you should check out McMafia, AMC’s excellent new series. It’s The Godfather for a new generation. The show is called McMafia because it’s all about franchising crime, just like you would a McDonald’s. Now, in The Godfather, most of the crime was relegated to New York and Las Vegas, but these gangsters are dealing in Dubai, Tel Aviv, Mumbai, and Prague. In the digital age, they can control shipments and lock down deals with the press of a button. Imagine what kind of empire Michael Corleone could have amassed if he’d had an iPad.
The story centers around Alex Godman, played by James Norton, who looks like he’s auditioning to be the new James Bond in every scene with his tailored suits and dashing good looks. Like Michael from The Godfather, Alex is a good son trying to make his way in the legitimate business world, but his father and uncle have ties to the Russian mob. After an attack on his family, Alex takes it upon himself to protect the ones he loves, which pulls him deeper into the world of organized crime. Been there, done that, right?
