Drama World Series: Vote for Your Favorite TV Show!

Championships! Parades! Tailgate booze fests! It seems like sports fans are always having all the fun. But what about those of us who prefer a well-crafted mystery or a clever period drama? Where's our competition worthy of eating guacamole and guzzling shots on a truck bed?

Questions like these inspired us to create the Drama World Series, a three-week bracket smackdown between eight of your most beloved television shows. The victor will get an all-day marathon on KQED PLUS on Sunday, October 29, 2017.

So step up to the plate and vote for your favorite in this first round of matchups!
