I don’t think a sitcom tourney is necessary. Seinfeld or Curb will win. But dramas. 2000 or later since most of us didn’t watch Hill Street Blues or LA Law.

The Wire
The Sopranos
Deadwood
The Americans
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
Game of Thrones
Mad Men
Justified
The Shield
Sons of Anarchy
Orange is the New Black
Yellowstone
Ozark
Dark
True Detective
Fargo
Downton Abbey
Spartacus
Handmaid’s Tale
Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
Sherlock
???

Game of Thrones can die in a tire fire.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Battlestar Galactica for sure. American Horror Story probably. Killing Eve and Snowfall maybe. I both love and hate The Walking Dead, but those early seasons deserve inclusion, but so many bad seasons.

Will limited series be included?
Band of Brothers
The Pacific
Chernobyl

Succession should be on this list, though I suppose it's dangerous to vote for shows that haven't finished yet

I would ride with Deadwood until the end, with The Sopranos a close second.
