    Action seems like the wrong genre for most of this shows - they have action scenes but when I think action I imagine movies like Die Hard.


    Anyway voted for my favourite two shows on the list, Justified and Orphan Black. Justified did have that epic episode 'Decoy' which felt like a movie.

    Covert Affairs, Orphan Black and Banshee for me.

    Orphan Black, Continuum and Banshee for me, all 3 are unique with great casts, addictive story lines etc

    Justified!! I LOVE that show. The cast is fantastic, even for the small characters, the dialog is amazing and ....well, Boyd Crowder is in it....need I say anymore?!
    And Banshee....that is a real action show, lots of action, fun, and a nice sexy vibe.
    And Orphan Black... I like that too.


    I have loved SOA for so many seasons, but it ust got a little too dark and depressing for me.

  8. Ana Flávia da Cruz11 October 2013 at 11:36

    The Americans doesn't count?
    I voted fo Justified. Even whether it's just a few episodes thatactually fit the "action" label. haha

    Falling Skies, Defiance and Gracelend. Graceland's opening season was aaamazing as was Defiance's

  10. Lunaticbabe11 October 2013 at 11:43

    Game of Thrones. There may not be a Blackwater Bay in every episode, or wedding of any colour (gods forbid), but if the listed shows count as action - then so does GoT. And it has my vote. Hands down.

    Justified, Longmire & Cracked( Friday on Reelz)

  12. Jamie Coudeville11 October 2013 at 12:00

    Orphan Black!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Jonathan_Andre11 October 2013 at 12:16

    definitely continuum and orphan black. the third option will have to be a tussle between graceland, defiance and longmire. also, if i were to have finished either the bridge or the americans (up to episode 6 and 8 respectively), those would've also been in the mix for best action series on cable as well.

  14. DarqueMode11 October 2013 at 12:19

    I have a hard time really looking at many of the listed shows as "Action" series.


    As far as real action-driven TV goes, I think Banshee and Strike Back are probably the two best series on cable. Every episode has intense action , drama and humor.

    For more drama-based less action driven series I like Justified, Sons of Anarchy and of course Game of Thrones.

    I love Longmire and Orphan Black, but I just cannot call them Action series at all honestly....

  15. DarqueMode11 October 2013 at 12:21

    I forgot Cracked airs in the US now!


    Slightly different from the usual Crime Drama. I like the psychological aspect of it a lot!

  16. Abdelrahman Osama11 October 2013 at 12:34

    Best action series is Strike Back, undoubtedly.

    I like how the series got its name..he's not broken, just cracked. lol

    I chose Sons of Anarchy, Orphan Black and Justified.

  19. Freda11 October 2013 at 13:27

    The only two I have seen on the list was Orphan Black and Continuum. I am not sure they are "action" series, although they can have action scenes.

  20. Jessica11 October 2013 at 13:34

    Orphan Black, Sons of Anarchy and Justified!

    ReplyDelete
  21. omabin11 October 2013 at 13:41

    Would you recommend Banshee? Not that I have time to start another show now, but I have heard a lot of great stuff about that one. I have tried the pilot and even though I liked what I saw, it didn't feel innovative enough for me to stick around at the time, even though I thought it had potential if they were to be bold.

    ReplyDelete
  22. omabin11 October 2013 at 13:42

    I wouldn't classify The Americans as action and I love the show. But then again, neither I would classify Orphan Black.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lilith Hellfire11 October 2013 at 15:36

    Sons of Anarchy, Justified and Continuum (I swear on all three shows there is always at least one shootout).

  24. CP11 October 2013 at 15:42

    Mine was Burn Notice when it was on.

  25. Matthew11 October 2013 at 15:50

    Strike Back most definitely. Banshee too. I'm not sure if Orphan Black belongs to the 'action' category, but I voted for it anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Weegiburd11 October 2013 at 16:02

    Without a shadow of a doubt it's Justified the cast is stellar and the writers are terrific. Some of the other shows are really good but are missing the mix of drama and comedy that Justified has in abundance.

  27. Setheriel11 October 2013 at 16:07

    Continuum, Orphan Black. Both are simply awesome.

  28. SymSoa11 October 2013 at 16:09

    Sons of Anarchy

  29. Elen11 October 2013 at 16:42

    Defiance and Continuum for me.

    OB, JUstified and Continuum

  31. DolphinGirl11 October 2013 at 17:08

    Justified has the best choreography of a gun fight. Both the dialog and the fight choreography are art forms within themselves. Sheer genius!!

  32. Ricky Terry11 October 2013 at 17:28

    I recommend Banshee. I watched the whole season on demand, and couldn't get enough.

    ReplyDelete
  33. thedane511 October 2013 at 17:55

    I too would recommend Banshee. Great action show, fun, compelling characters,

    ReplyDelete
  34. phnxgrl11 October 2013 at 17:57

    I have to agree Justified has it all.

    ReplyDelete
  35. DarqueMode11 October 2013 at 18:11

    I would try again maybe.
    It is only 10 episodes, so it will not take you too long to catch up when you do have time.


    I found it to be one of the more original series in the last few years honestly. A lot of unique characters and unique plotlines. Some more common aspects too I guess, but by the season's end even those more routine aspects have evolved into something a bit different.

    ReplyDelete
  36. ShatteredOne11 October 2013 at 18:12

    Orphan Black is phenomenal, and Justified is entertaining. So those 2 in that order that I listed them.

    ReplyDelete
  37. DarqueMode11 October 2013 at 18:12

    Did you watch the "Origins" webisodes?
    Each character had a prequel webisode between 1-minute and 3-minutes that showed a little back story and how that character fits into the season.

    ReplyDelete
  38. DolphinGirl11 October 2013 at 18:16

    A love Longmire, too. I agree this isn't a good category for the show.

    ReplyDelete
  39. damasta41411 October 2013 at 18:17

    Looking at the results I get the feeling that people don't know what the word "action" means. Banshee and Strike Back are the ultimate action shows, almost non stop action. To the point where I'm on my feet ready to fight somebody after every episode. The shows on the list are good shows but the word action doesn't come to mind when I think of Orphan Black.

  40. damasta41411 October 2013 at 18:18

    Banshee is like crack. Very easy to get addicted to it.

  41. omabin11 October 2013 at 18:41

    Thanks guys. I will give it a try (next summer I guess) if I have the time!

  42. Justyna Kubica11 October 2013 at 19:38

    Continuum and Orphan Black are my favorites on the list.

  43. laura334111 October 2013 at 19:48

    Agreed,i don't know how anyone would consider Longmire an action show?

  44. Rodman12 October 2013 at 17:18

    Love those 3, Banshee, Continuum and Orphan Black

  45. DarqueMode12 October 2013 at 18:43

    They had them onDEmand at one time... Not sure if they do now where you live.

    If you go to Cinemax here is the link:

    http://www.welcometobanshee.com/index.html?episode=vault



    You will have to enter in your DOB (or someone's) to prove you're 21.Ha! XD
    Then in the upper right corner there is a link to "Go to Origins"


    I see there is also some vault you can unlock, but I never did that so not sure what is inside.

  46. DarqueMode12 October 2013 at 21:01

    I could upload them to SpoilerTV if you want..

    Actually, I checked on Youtube and they are available there.

    Burn Notice had by far the best action of all cable shows I've seen. I also voted for Graceland, which usually has at least one good action scene an episode, and Defiance, which when it does action scenes usually does a good job of it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Dahne13 October 2013 at 18:35

    I was thinking of both Burn Notice and Covert Affairs when I checked Other.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Dahne13 October 2013 at 18:36

    Graceland got better every episode. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next season.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Dahne13 October 2013 at 18:39

    Burn Notice was the fist show I thought about when I saw the topic. It fits the term "action" genre better than most of these listed in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Mercy14 October 2013 at 19:51

    Cool, my second poll. Ok to give a Little transperancy to the listing, These were my criteria this time:
    Cable Shows, currently on TV (so no Burn Notice), sorry I dunno how I could skipp Covert Affairs but for these cases there is other. And since I don't watch all of them (actually only Strike Back, Banshee and Oprhan Black are on my to do list) I checked which Shows categorize themselfs as Action - this was indeed very interesting as you can see from the list.

    the Network.....

  54. Mercy14 October 2013 at 19:58

    Strike Back is better than many movies in the Cinema and it has a good writing in storyline and character development! What they did with Dalton so GRRM, but logical.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Mercy14 October 2013 at 20:02

    Sorry about skipping Covert Affairs. I think I will put that show on my to do list.
    Since Burn Notice has ended it is not on the list.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Dahne14 October 2013 at 23:53

    You have every right to include or not include any show in your polls. No one can watch all shows in a genre so it doesn't bother me when someone doesn't include a show I like. That's what Other is for. :-)

  57. Dahne15 October 2013 at 00:34

    Hope you end up liking Covert Affairs. It is a quick moving show.

  58. Halliebear17 October 2013 at 02:36

    I think The Americans is as much an action show as some of the others nominated and it would get my vote for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Halliebear17 October 2013 at 02:37

    I would say "The Americans" for sure. It may not be purely an action show, but it's as much an action show as some of the others on this list, and absolutely great!

    ReplyDelete
  60. sashafein20 October 2013 at 17:23

    Definitely Strike Back, it packs tons of action scenes with some good actors, intense stunts and good writing. The whole package.

    ReplyDelete
  61. playdoc22 November 2013 at 03:33

    Continuum is my favorite show, of those listed. However, I haven't watched several of them, and didn't realize a few on that poll even existed.

  62. Mercy8 April 2014 at 06:13

    yeah I know. but on my criteria this should have been on the list.....
