15 Best Gothic Horror TV Shows, Ranked
Who doesn't love some spooky thrills with some gothic vibes sprinkled in? Here are 15 incredible gothic horror shows that every horror fan should check out.


'"Dark Shadows" is an enormously influential gothic horror show.'

For a change it's nice to see DS get the recognition it deserves, rather than it being presented as a camp joke.

Also, it's nice to see that so many of the shows that we follow are on the list.

15 Best TV Shows Like The Mentalist
In the "The Mentalist," an ensemble of eccentric characters put their differences aside to solve crimes. It's a tried-and-true formula for a good reason.


Includes Elementary:

"As the most famous detective duo of all, the stories of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson have been adapted hundreds of times on both the big and small screens. The CBS series "Elementary" has the distinction of being one of the most unique iterations of the characters. Jonny Lee Miller plays Sherlock, who in this story is a recovering drug addict who's recently relocated to New York City. In a stroke of utter casting genius, Lucy Liu plays Joan Watson, a former surgeon hired to be Sherlock's sober companion.

On paper, the differences between "Elementary" and its source material stand out, but in practice, these distinctions are more than just a trendy schtick. Miller's Sherlock retains the character's quick-witted brilliance and eccentricity, while imbuing him with complexity and an underlying sense of kindness. Liu's Joan Watson is equally as patient and empathetic with Sherlock as she is frustrated with him, and she is given the chance to shine just as much as her partner.

While "Elementary" doesn't fulfill the enemies-to-lovers trope, Sherlock and Watson's relationship is the most tender, nuanced take on the duo we've ever seen. Indeed, that their relationship remains platonic is part of what makes it so profound. The quiet love they have for one another is not something we often see on screen."


Nice photo of Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu (though they don't look too happy in it)...

Interestingly, I watch or did watch every show on the list. Currently I absolutely love High Potential.

I wonder if they'll move past the Barnabas' storyline's first 26 weeks? That's all MeTV ever showed when DS was on that station.  [santa_sad]
