pack your crucifix and silver bullets
and watch out for werewolves welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 fantasy
shows for this list we chosen shows that
incorporate magical elements and
mythical creatures rather than sci-fi
standards like advanced tech and aliens
we’ve also decided to stick to
live-action series only now brush up on
your spell’s grab your swords and let’s
get to the list number 10 Grimm this is
no fairy tale one of many shows in which
fairy tales are recycled reimagined and
repackage to fit a contemporary setting
this part police procedural part fantasy
drama follows detective Nick Burkhardt
as he hunts various mythological
creatures to keep balance between our
worlds detective Burkhardt is the latest
in a long line of Grimm’s who are tasked
with a dubious job of handling dangerous
magical beasts without getting killed
and they lose control they can’t hide
and we see them for what they really are
the result is a show that’s funny and
legitimately scary at the same time well
I got a hit
more clothes did you really smell him
dude
you have no idea number nine dark
shadows
before becoming a critical flop starring
the omnipresent Johnny Depp dark shadows
was an unassuming gothic soap opera that
aired weekdays beginning in the 60s you
make it sound like some old English
novelist rattling chains ghosts in the
corridors back then it was a seemingly
self-reflexive serial about the humdrum
everyday lives of the Collin family a
motley crew of mystery shrouded yuppies
whose oddball cousin Barnabas is
actually an immortal vampire yes what
were you going to say only that I’m
unworthy of such a lovely gift as my
bride you were unworthy of nothing
supernatural Silius ensues as they faced
off against werewolves warlocks witches
and other unearthly abominations number
8 Sabrina the Teenage Witch
look she’s meditating right on schedule
let’s wake her up and tell her she’s a
witch take three witches a talking cat
and a wacky assortment of supernatural
cameos and what do you get which can I
just turn back time this weekly sitcom
about a young girl who’s just trying to
come to terms with high school young
love and omnipotent occult power bye-bye
fun and don’t make too many hand
gestures the majority of the show
involved Sabrina dealing with situations
you’d expect a freshman to get into with
the added bonus of her magical abilities

TGIF mainstay I hate doing this only

frogs back to life I think it’s hard is
somewhere around here look dad’s alive
number seven dead like me you little

Oh though it’s an apparently morbid show
about the afterlife of a young woman
who’s tasked with retrieving the souls
of the deceased dead like me tackles the
reality of a family dealing with loss
and succumbing to pressure well I want
my life back it’s not like you were
doing anything with it after the
protagonist is struck and killed by a
deorbiting toilet seat she becomes a
grim reaper and must find people like
herself
who’ve been killed in conspicuous
accidents to escort their souls to the
Hereafter as I stood there staring at
the soon-to-be dead man I began to think
of him like a box of waffles and his
expiration date had come up number 6
bewitched this charming classic kicked
off a cycle of shows that dealt with the
intrusion of supernatural elements in an
all to normal reality
maybe I can taper off young unassuming
Darrin Stephens gets more than he
bargained for when he marries youthful
Samantha as she turns out to be a
centuries old which I have yet to see a
table letter that works just once I
would like to see wackiness is the
result as the young couple comes into
conflict with troubles both natural and
supernatural including a strange
extended family comprised of other
witches and warlocks I don’t adopt
children I only eat them
I know I’ve a delicious number 5 Xena
Warrior Princess your scenar aren’t you
do you really want to find out a
veritable cult of males young and old
were pleasantly surprised when this
Hercules The Legendary Journeys spin-off
hit airwaves starring the curvaceous
Lucy Lawless and a cast of character
actors dredged up from various soap
operas Xena tackled the trials and
tribulations of the eponymous character
who is forced to battle deities and
monsters in equal measure
to some this may be a daunting task
especially in a skimpy leather outfit
but to Xena
its standard tell him Xena says hello
number for Supernatural maybe we should
split up
ask around see if anybody’s seen him
yeah Asian kid yay hi at a university
that should be easy paranormal
investigator heartthrob Sam and Dean
Winchester are on the case when it comes
to demons angels vampires werewolves and
the like all right give us a box please

their mother was killed by demon when
they were both young and now the
brothers Winchester are out for

hit to become a mainstream phenomenon
to keep viewers intrigued writers
invented crazy twists hints and
revelations that got more outrageous by
the season guys this isn’t just fair
it’s a polar bear of course some would
say this came back to haunt them when
the audience expected a satisfactory
explanation for such fantastical
storylines I need you to help me clean
up this mess that I’ve made but to this
day true fans continue to debate what
the island was anyway why won’t you just
let them leave
because I can’t Alex number two Buffy
the Vampire Slayer
the slayer hunts vampires buffy is a
slayer don’t tell anyone
with its strong female lead kick-ass
action adventure and comedy Buffy
changed fantasy TV for good okay first
of all what’s with the elfin live in the
now okay you look like DeBarge created
and directed by Joss Whedon the series
follows Buffy Summers as she tries to
reconcile her life as a cheerleading
freshman and her ancestry as a vampire
hunter with sharp writing and enough
substance and flash to keep both diehard
fans and casual observers entertained
Buffy is loved as both a teen drama and
an epic fantasy series you burned down

not seeing the big picture here I mean
that gym was full of vampire before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions

Game of Thrones there’s a war coming Ned
I don’t know when I don’t know who will
be fighting but it’s coming with his
series of politically charged fantasy
books George RR Martin’s sparked an
international phenomenon closely
paralleling the drama heavy storylines
and fascinating characters in his books
this live-action series questions
morality and the lengths to which a
person will go to succeed the things I
do for love

titillating sex and thrilling violence

its best
