Het beste van 2014 volgens de internationale pers

Hoewel er dit jaar zoveel series zijn uitgekomen, valt het op dat het toch steeds weer dezelfde zijn die terugkomen. Net als bij de films heb je ook hier het probleem dat niet iedereen alles heeft gezien wat wil zeggen dat bepaalde Britse series in de VS nog niet zijn uitgezonden. Verschillende sites splitsen hun lijstjes op in 'nieuwe series' en 'lopende series'. Naast deze lijstjes purbliceren wij ook de lijst die Metacritic samenstelde op basis van 60 magazines, kranten en websites.
