Terrrific Television Show Promos

[Artemis]

I love a good promotional trailer for a television show[nb]that term doesn't feel right anymore - what do we call them now Netflix etc. creates them too?[/nb]. They are few and far between, always creative and hardly ever feature some jovial continuity announcer telling us when it's on and where we can see it, or clumsy 'this is Joe Bloggs, he's like this' narrative.

It's Lost that inspired this thread. There were two really excellent promos made for it, one in the UK, and the other in Spain.

Breaking Bad also had a terrific trailer of sorts in the Ozymandias promo, giving nothing away but ratcheting up intensity nonetheless.

Can you find any good promos for shows you'd recommend? If you could mention if they give anything away, that'd be jolly nice of you.

I liked this trailer for French spook-em'-up The Returned, as broadcast on Channel 4 last year.

The first series trailer for Black Mirror, too. Very little in the way of footage from the show, and no plot giveaways, but a real tone-setter. I was told off for using that phrase in an essay once. Tone-setter. A nice, one minute short film in itself.

I remember seeing this years before I was old enough to watch Blackadder.

American Horror Story: Asylum has a pretty great trailer too, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7XC-4zVirA
