So up first are my honorable mentions. So last year my honorable mentions were ones that I really liked but were cancelled or not airing anymore. This year I watched way too much tv sooooo my honorable mentions are ones that I enjoyed but were not on my top 10.
Supergirl
Up first is Supergirl! So as you all knew, I was pretty excited for Supergirl to air and now that is has aired, I am a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy this show but not as much as my other ones. Kara is precious and I love Alex and Cat and Maxwell Lord but James and Winn seem so pointless to me. Neither boy has been developed into characters yet and they just irritate me when they appear on the screen. I know what you're going to say: "But Allie, it's only been half a season" but in response to that, the first half of the season is supposed to be where all the characters are fleshed out if I'm being honest. James is just a pretty boy who Kara has a crush on and Winn is just creepy. I used to be annoyed with Hank as well but after the big reveal of him being Martian Manhunter, I've suddenly started to like him. The feminism theme is a little heavy handed to me as well. Rather than telling me how great and strong Kara is, I would love Supergirl to show me! But despite this, I do really like this show and click here to see all my Supergirl posts! The second half of season 1 will return in January!
Reign
So looking back at my previous top 10 lists made me notice that I listed Reign in my top 10 during season 1 but not season 2. The reason for this is despite loving most of the storylines and the costumes and most of the characters, the writers seem to love triangles which drives me crazy. I really enjoyed season 1 and the beginning of season 2 but then Mary got raped and then she "fell in love" with Conde (aka not her husband) and basically a storyline which could have been a way to have Mary grow turned into a storyline about how she was taken advantage of by some guy. Season 3 has finally started to go back to what I liked in season 1 and even though Francis (my favorite character) died, I'm interested in where the story is going. Unfortunately due to the bad taste season 2 left in my mouth, this show is going to stay on the honorable mentions. The second half of season 3 of Reign will return in January and click here to see all my Reign posts!
And now, MY TOP TEN!!!
Quantico
Once Upon A Time
At number 9 is Once Upon a Time!! I bet this is surprising based on how high Once ranked last year but the thing with that was that I had binge watched the entire show last year and to be honest, the earlier seasons were much better than these two. The Queens of Darkness has to be the worst season of Once I watched without a doubt. Before that I thought the Wicked Witch season was my least favorite but while I was watching the Queens of Darkness arc, I was missing the Wicked Witch arc. The writers destroyed Rumple, Rumbelle and Outlaw Queen in one foul swoop and you all know Rumple was my favorite because of his troubled anti-hero thing. Watching that season it was like the showrunners completely forgot what made Rumple himself. To make things worse, Robin and Regina suddenly turned into a horrible soap opera with a secret baby from an evil sister. The only saving grace was Captain Swan and Hook but then this Dark Swan arc had to destroy them too. I was excited to see dark Emma but the whole season was a build up (and a boring one at that) to nothing and then out of the blue, Hook turned evil again and then one episode later, realized he was good again. What? Once Upon a Time returns for the second half of season 5 in March. Click here for all my Once Upon a Time posts!
Coming in at number 8 is Jessica Jones!! Another show in it's freshman year but one that I highly enjoyed. I was not expecting to enjoy this show based on my experiences with Marvel's Daredevil but after watching a full season, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the show. I loved Jessica and Trish and their relationship. I really liked Malcolm and David Tennant was beyond amazing as Kilgrave. He brought the perfect amount of creepiness and mixed it with his David Tennant charm to make you pity a truly horrible character. The way they portrayed Jessica's PTSD and trauma was very realistic and her broodiness was not as annoyed as most characters. I binge watched this show in a weekend and I did not regret a single moment. There were some negatives in that I could have lived without Robin and Jerry but overall I really liked this show.
At number 7 is The Musketeers!! So this show was on my list last year and it's on my list this year as well! Everything I loved about the Musketeers during season 1 was present in season 2 and the stakes were amped up! I fell even more in love with the characters this year and the storylines each episode were very fun to watch. I enjoyed watching the romances blossom and I'm very excited to see where the storyline about the war goes. I've never been more nervous than when Queen Anne was accused by the King and he found out that Aramis was actually the father of his son. Click here to see all my Musketeers posts!
Coming in at number 6 is Arrow!! Ooh what a shot down on my top 10 list. Last year Arrow was my number 1 and this year it's at 6. The major reason for this is simply due to how little I enjoyed the second half of season 3 last year. I remember writing about how epic season 3 was going to be but after the midseason finale, it went downhill fast. There were episodes here and there that were interesting but as a whole, not so much. I do however think that the first half of season 4 seems interesting and I really like Damian Darkh as a villain. I'm pumped that Sara's alive again and that Olicity is finally a thing. My favorite thing about Olicity is that they're written without the over the top drama like last season. I like the new way the episodes are shot and Laurel is finally coming into her own.

At number 5 is the Flash!! When I first started watching this show I thought it was fun but I didn't know how much I was going to enjoy it until now. The back half of season one of the Flash was beyond amazing and the finale had a couple of my favorite scenes from the show with Eddie dying and the black hole opening and THAT SHOT OF KILLER SNOW! I liked how they mostly dropped the procedural element of the show and now almost everyone knows Barry's secret so there's no awkward I have to run cause whatever thing. I am a little disappointed in the beginning of season 2 just because the finale for season 1 was so exciting and the show came back in the most boring way possible. Unfortunately this half of season 2 has mostly consisted of me waiting until something happens and the best episode of this half season has to be the Flarrow crossover which is awkward because it was 70% an Arrow episode and 30% a Flash episode. I do like Jay Garrick a lot though and I am excited to see more of the Zoom so here's hoping! The second half of season 2 airs in January! Click here to see all my Flash posts!
Coming in at number 4 is Outlander!! I really enjoyed the first half of season 1 but like every other show that went through it's freshman year this year, the second half was where things really got interesting. Claire fell in love with Jamie and she finally started to really trust him. Black Jack got crazy evil and one of the best acted scenes I have ever seen was with Jamie in the cells when Black Jack was torturing and trying to rape him. The impact and the weight the show placed on Jamie's rape is unlike any other I have seen and it was exactly the way it should have been. Most shows just brush over it or pretend it never happened rather than digging into the grit of it all. I am excited to see Claire's pregnancy and the fact they are going to France is very interesting as it provides a way for the show to mix things up with a new cast and a new setting. Outlander will return for season 2 in March. Also click here to see all my Outlander posts!
At number 3 is the 100!! I don't even know what to say about this show to describe my love for it except season 2 is definitely the season to beat in my eyes. Most shows either have season 2 as their best like Arrow or they hit a slump like the Flash but luckily for all of us, the 100 is following Arrow's trend!! Every episode left you on the edge of your seat wanting more. The storylines this under appreciated show has touched upon are ones for the ages. Despite having so many characters in the cast, each one went through an arc and came out a different person. The episode where Finn died has to be one of my favorites but part 1 of the two part finale slayed me. I was sitting there in front of my TV with my jaw dropped and I didn't know what to do. The deaths are shocking and the romances are perfectly placed in the backdrop and family and friends are the backbone for this show. Each episode is better than the last and here's to (hopefully) an even better season 3! Click here to check out all my 100 posts!
Coming in at number 2 is Black Sails!! I feel like I keep saying the same thing over and over but honestly it's true. Season 2 was better than season 1 in that now that we truly knew each character, we could throw a bomb right in the middle of them and watch the audience's hearts explode. I loved every bit of season 2 from Eleanor and Vane's rekindled romance to Jack and Anne Bonny's plan to captain a ship and steal the Spanish gold to Flint's backstory revelation. I have never been more shocked (and in a good way) then when we found out that Flint was never in love with Miranda but her husband!! I loved seeing Jack and Bonny steal the treasure away from Flint's crew and the finale when Vane saved Flint's life stole my heart. I'm excited to see the English attack Nassau in season 3 and I can't wait for more epicness from this show. Season 3 returns in January! Click here to see all my Black Sails posts!
AND FINALLY THE MOMENT OF TRUTH!! MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE SHOW OF 2015 IS AGENTS OF SHIELD!! *Screams* *Confetti is thrown* But seriously guys, you had to have known this was coming. I have never been anything but in love with this show despite what others believe. I without a doubt think Agents of SHIELD is the best superhero show I watch let alone my favorite show this year. Each season has a new arc for every character and each season makes you fall more in love. Each episode raises the bar and each episode has a bigger and better storyline. I never thought I'd enjoy Bobbi and Mack as much as I do and the inhumans are amazingly fun to watch! The original cast just keeps getting better and better and the midseason finale where Ward was killed shocked me. I was not expecting him to die because hello it's Ward but Coulson did it. I am excited for the second half of season 3 to air and it will return in March! Click here to see all my Agents of SHIELD posts!
Well that's all for now! I hope you've enjoyed this peek into my mind. Tbh it's a lot of squealing and so I've tried to write all those feelings into words for you. Hopefully it worked out the way I wanted to! Tomorrow you'll be getting my Top 10 Favorite Movies of 2015 post so keep an eye out! Ta-ta for now!
