AMC’s The Walking Dead has a long history of memorable villains – some good, and some not so good.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan has finally arrived, and despite the cliffhanger Season 6 finale, he’s turning out to be exactly what fans have hoped for.
There’s absolutely no question that made a serious impression on audiences last year. Not only did it revive a once defunct franchise, but it also introduced audiences to Charlize Theron’s badass Imperator Furiosa. Her character became a fan favorite, and easily outshined even ’s Max Rockatansky.

The first season of American Crime Story has proven that the American Horror Story model can easily work within a new genre. The People V. OJ Simpson captured the attention of the world, and quickly became one of the most popular new shows in recent memory.
