top 10 TV shows of 2014

TV critic David Bianculli:

10. Tie between Louie (FX) and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO).

9. Homeland (Showtime). “I think it bounced back this year after a bad previous season.”

8. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central).

7. For the last time on my list, The Colbert Report (Comedy Central).

6. True Detective (HBO).

5. Fargo (FX).

4. The Roosevelts: An Intimate History (PBS).

3. The Walking Dead (AMC).

2. Justified (FX), which is about to come back for its final season. “I think this is one of the most underrated shows on television, and it has one last chance to close its book and get some acclaim.”

1. The Good Wife (CBS). “They have the deepest roster of really strong regulars and guest stars. … What I love about the show is that everyone’s motives are always suspect.”
