THE BEST SERIALIZED TV POSTERS 2011
5. Fringe — Season 4
If you don’t follow Fringe you might be curious enough to wonder why this poster has fold lines — which is a good thing. If you are a member of the Fringe faithful you’ll most likely appreciate the concept behind it. An intriguing poster that plays with the show, and nothing says that more than a cheeky Observer grabbing an eyeful of Olivia’s fringe-bits. Ooh-er.
4. American Horror Story — Season 1
This FX UK poster for American Horror Story doesn’t reveal much, but its ambiguity works a treat with its bloody message peering through the tatty wallpaper. A clever way to introduce the House at the center of the mystery while giving us the jitters as we know the message can’t say anything good, but can’t help but wonder what. (it says “you’re going to die in there,” in case you want to know). To top it off, it almost seems as though there’s more than just words buried underneath the wallpaper. Creepy!
3. The Killing — Season 1
Great use of color and tone, along with a smiling Rosie that reflects her innocence, or something else. This poster for The Killing makes good use of the central question – “Who killed Rosie Larsen?” — scrawled right across her face (almost disrespectfully so) to further involve us in the mystery. While Rosie is already gone, the tagline, “every hour counts” puts the clock on the race to find whodunit. An instant poster classic.
2. Falling Skies — Season 1
Not only is this a good reason to have a protagonist ambiguously facing away; showing off the iconic harness at the center of the Falling Skies mythology. But the tagline: “We Lose Control,” is fitting. Particularly with the human-like alien structure in the murky distance, and the character facing, if not walking, towards it. We lose control, indeed.
1. The Walking Dead — Season 2
A simple yet cinematic poster that invites curious minds. Rick Grimes has his gun drawn and is running down a dirt road towards a shady looking farmhouse, yet there’s not a single zombie in sight. There’s an eerie, foreboding feel about this Walking Dead one sheet, one that I wish the show itself managed to capture more consistently. A fitting winner.

I would’ve put Fringe in #3, it’s way better than The Killing and American Horror Story.
The Walking Dead is great #1, even if I don’t watch the series, it reminds me of Resident Evil 4 movie

Good: Dexter, AHS, The Killing, Falling Skies, TWD.
Bad: V, Alphas, OUAT, Secret Circle, Fringe.
This list needs more Lost, they had some good ones as I recall.
