While the most popular action TV shows have found their way to the mainstream, there are some incredible shows in the genre that never got the amount of attention they truly deserved despite being nearly perfect. Action is difficult to distill down into the TV landscape. With an ever-changing scope because of technological advances, action changes somewhat more quickly than other genres.
While some shows rest on tight fight choreography, others use technology as a major part of their storytelling. Regardless of which avenue action shows choose, they tend to have stiff competition to contend with within their own genre.
