Today sees the start of round two, and it's a cracking start with HBO's Game of Thrones taking on Breaking Bad in a battle between two critically acclaimed dramas.
We also have the cancelled-before-its-time Pushing Daisies taking on another critically acclaimed drama in Friday Night Lights in a poll that is sure to divide two different fan-bases.
In the final day of round one we saw Sherlock and Moonlight take their place in the next round, but both face tougher opposition in the next round. Perhaps it was surprising to see both Dexter and The Sopranos exit so early, but surprises are something you can always count on in this competition.
