The Best of the 2011-2012 Fall TV Season

With the worst list out of the way, it's time for the best! This season saw many a good show, and quite few great episodes, but what's making it onto this post? Let's find out.
Best Show:

3. Grimm Season 1
In third place is Grimm, NBC's new fantasy-crime drama which follows Portland detective Nick Burkhardt, who discovers he is a grimm, which basically means he can see when certain people, called Wessin, change into fairy tale-like monsters. These monsters often kill, and when that happens, Nick, while investigating with the police, has to track the monster down and kill it. It does a great job with the whole genre-bender thing that's been big lately, offering plenty of chills, action, and humor along with great characters in Nick, Monroe, and Rosalie. In terms of storytelling, it's good, often great, but there's room for improvement, which is why this only comes in third. Grimm also wins the honorary title of best new show.
Best episode: Organ Grinder.

2. The Walking Dead Season 2
AMC's hit serial drama about survival and humanity in the zombie apocalypse returned for 13 episodes this year. So as our rag-tag group of survivors make there way across the wasteland, they come across a farm that may provide a potential haven and served as season 2's primary setting. There was a good amount of zombies getting there brains blown out in adrenaline rush action scenes, most notably in the season premier and finale, as well the dramatic depth we've come to expect. I wanted to make this number 1 at first, but I can't mostly because season 2 was slower and more dramatic then season 1, which occasionaly felt sorta soap opera-ish. That being said, it was still a good season. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be on this list, would it.
Best episode: Beside the Dying Fire.

1. Sherlock Season 2
The second season of BBC's modern rendition of Sherlock Holmes takes first place this season. After resolving last season's cliffhanger ending, the master sleuth and his side kick John Watson tackled three more cases based on classic Sherlock Holmes stories, while at the same time dealing with the nefarious Jim Moriarty. I honestly think it was possible, but season 2 actually outdid season 1. It was... indescribably good, covering all the bases and ending with a cliffhanger finale. I don't know what else to say beyond it kicked all manners of ass.
Best episode: tie between all of them.
