2. Breaking Bad
3. American Horror Story: Asylum

The first two are really really close. Only weak one is Walking Dead so far, but it really picked up the last two episodes thank god.

Mad Men
Boardwalk Empire
Game of Thrones
Revenge
Shameless

Easy way to spot the US lower class: they watch Shameless and love it.

Riggs is Austrian, but nice try.

You need to quit it, Algren, or you'll be taking an extended vacation.
