Slice of SciFi’s Best of 2014: Television Our Top Picks in Television from 2014

Here’s what some of the Slice of SciFi crew thought made for some of the best television in 2014 (and no, some of us couldn’t stop at just 5 picks):

Sam Roberts:

1) Orphan Black
2) Arrow
3) Penny Dreadful
4) Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – soooo much better than when it started out
5) Supernatural – This makes the list on the basis of the 200th episode alone but all the Deanmon stuff is super good too
6) Cosmos
7) The Originals – I expected to like it, I did not expect to love it.

And special mentions for “near-genre” programs:

1) Sherlock
2) True Detective
3) Hannibal – I think this qualifies as horror; spectacularly beautiful, operatic horror
