Top TV Shows/Experiences of the Decade

Post by epilogue »

The 2010's could arguably be the decade where Television overtook Film as the dominant medium. Certainly, this decade was one of the most important and diverse in television history. So what moved/inspired/excited you on television this past decade? (EDITED: ON 12/30)

My personal top 10:

1. Fleabag
2. Watchmen
3. The Americans
4. New Girl
5. Jane the Virgin
6. Twin Peaks: The Return
7. Parks and Recreation
8. No Reservations
9. The Handmaid's Tale
10. The Leftovers


Honorable Mentions:
The Fall
Girls
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
The Good Place
Game of Thrones
Fargo

Whatchu got, RM?

Twin Peaks: The Return. Hands down. This was a series that looked the idea of nostalgia and rebooting in the face and said "no." Not since LOST has there been a show that had me scrambling for internet recaps, theories and discussion after each week's episode. Watching The Return reminded me that weekly viewing is still #1.

I'll also add Mrs. Maisel to your list. This has been a fantastic show that seems to get better each season. I never got on board with the whole Mad Men thing, but this one feels like it's tapping into the same mid-century New York thing, without feeling too stylish. The story somehow always comes first, among the many extended performances within episodes.

Joey.

Did you seriously just delete your response to my Maisel post, edit your OP to include the show, then delete the evidence of the edit? That's next level mod work. :haha:

I meant to edit my post with my new list and change it to "updated" and then edit my OP to reflect that new list. But I'm a dumbass and instead I changed the Maisel response to "updated" which necessitated me deleted the following list. :lol:

Then I updated the OP.

Less great, but great at times

Walking Dead
True Blood (but the best seasons were last decade, I think)
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

I loved The Killing, but I'm in the minority.
