5. PERSON OF INTEREST - Created by Jonathan Nolan, this precursor to Black Mirror had stellar combat sequences led by Jim Cavaziel. Many wanted, and still want, him to play an older Batman.

2. GAME OF THRONES - No action list would be complete without GoT. Hardholme, Battle of Bastards, even the final season's much criticised The Long Night are some of the best to be filmed on/for TV
