Matt Roush's Top 10 (And Then Some) of 2011

1. HOMELAND

The best new series of the year is Showtime's twisty nail-biter of a psychological thriller, an emotionally intense cat-and-mouse game between two damaged souls: Damian Lewis as Nicholas Brody, a Marine POW who may have been turned by terrorists during eight years in Iraqi captivity, and Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison, the unstable CIA analyst who breaks all the rules to get under his skin — and at times under the sheets. (Bringing new meaning to undercover agent). The actors are as electrifying as the storytelling in this taut tale of homeland insecurity, which also features a marvelously restrained Mandy Patinkin as Carrie's melancholy mentor and a revelatory Morena Baccarin as Brody's understandably conflicted wife. Homeland comes from the veteran producers of 24, who have lost none of their knack for sustained suspense, but within this more realistic framework have been able to concoct a thoughtful and gripping meditation on the human toll of the war on terror.

SAG Awards Surprises and Snubs: Patrick J. Adams Makes the Cut, But Where's Homeland?

Is USA slowly becoming an awards magnet? A year after Covert Affairs' Piper Perabo scored a Golden Globe nomination, network-mate and Suits star Patrick J. Adams pulled off a Screen Actors Guild nod Wednesday, where he'll face off against such heavyweights as Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Michael C. Hall (Dexter). But his nomination wasn't the only SAG shocker.

Batman: Year One Takes an Animated Peek Under the Dark Knight's Cowl

Bruce Wayne was a one-man army with the world's greatest detective skills and the dream of striking fear in criminals' hearts. How he went from orphaned playboy to Dark Knight was the basis of a classic 1987 comic book by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli, and is now retold in the faithfully hard-hitting animated film Batman: Year One, which goes on sale today on DVD, Blu-ray, digital download and on demand.

  • Family Guy "Okay, so anyone who loves this show is destined to go to hell... but hell hath no fury like this jaw-droppingly funny show. Seth McFarlane and his team have ignored walking the fine line of what is too far and what is not far enough. They always go too far. And though I cringe at times at the audacity of what is presented, I am secretly smiling through the attack on my conscience. Family Guy is a ride through the scariest, funniest, most surprising fun house of any carnival in the world."
  • The Daily Show With Jon Stewart "Intelligent, funny and current -- three components that are very hard to pull off successfully. They do it regularly. Is there a more perfect host that is adroit in all these?"
  • 30 Rock "At the top of their game in smart, sophisticated, adult humor. Maybe that's why it's always been a ratings-challenged show. Can a show be too smart? Not for me. I appreciate how it makes me listen carefully to catch each innuendo, pop culture reference, and the inside political skewering. What run-of-the-mill comedies would use as a centerpiece set-up and punch line joke, 30 Rock tosses off within normal conversation. Brilliant. This show has always made me laugh."
  • Mad Men "Consistently well written and performed. The show has the courage to dispense the story on its own time, not succumbing to the pressure of our society's fast-paced, quick-cutting TV standard. The art direction is superb. The hair and costumes take us back to that rich and alluring era."
  • Modern Family "Not since my days on Malcolm in the Middle have I seen a show that can make you laugh out loud and at the same time resonate on some deeper level. Extremely difficult to do because if the audience smells a "message" in an episode -- game over, show loses. This program has it all: wonderful writing, fantastic actors. Bravo."
