CBR's 10 of the Best-Written Drama Shows of All Time

"Drama is one of television's most important and challenging genres. The best dramatic series can encompass a wide variety of topics, from politics to supernatural crime, but what sets them apart is the quality of their writing. Without strong dialog, plots and characters, high-budget shows with incredible casts can quickly wither on the vine. It's incredibly challenging to tell a meaningful story in under an hour but it's every drama's chief goal. A fair number of dramatic TV series are able to rise to the occasion. A skilled creative team is able to tell a cohesive story in each episode and expertly connect their separate plots into an overarching story that evolves and grows over the course of a whole season. Dramas are about telling human stories and making viewers care. These shows are some of pop culture's greatest triumphs." - cbr.com
