Can you do that for 2021, 2020, 2019 etc?

25 great shows with all the media outlets we have now doesn't seem like too many to me.

More outlets doesn’t make more artists. If the networks paid for 60 shows one year and only 25 of them were good, the fact that they paid for 180 shows the next year doesn’t mean 75 of them will be good. There’s still only about the same number of people capable of making something good. Either those folks are gonna stay clumped and make pretty much the same number of good shows, or they’re going to spread out, get outvoted by less good people on their new projects, and the number of good shows will go down.

Yes it does.

And the great thing about having more outlets is your discover more.

i love almost every single one of those, especially your top 10, but i think Better Call Saul should be top 5, and LOVED the Offer too...but there are a few missing on your list, and I am guessing its because you haven't seen it...Reacher and Tulsa King

And btw, Poker Face is my favorite of 2013 , so far...

​

Rings of Power...nope

I love Saul, but last season wasn't my favorite. It should still probably be higher.

I'll give Poker Face a shot :)

26. Candy
27. Archive 81
28. The Terminal List
29. Reacher
30. We Own This City
31. Winning Time

35. Moon Knight

Good list, but I gotta disagree with this one. Over Better Call Saul too (or is the list not ranked?)

> 19. West World (4)

This was 2022?

Shows from 2022 not in your top 35 that I would recommend: Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, The Boys, Invincible, and The Expanse.

Also, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!

BTW, the final Season (5) starts next month.

I disagree with just six or seven. Better than expected list

Drop: Ozark 4 (lost the thread), Raised by Wolves, Westworld 4, For All Mankind, Pam and Tommy, Outer Range. Add The Old Man, The Boys 3, Strange New Worlds, Better Call Saul 5, Slow Horses, Fleishman is in Trouble.

From was a nice surprise as well

I feel like Terminal List and Reacher deserve a spot on here as well; solid dad tv.

RIP RBW :(

You also forgot “From”; kinda schlocky but also surprisingly addicting and mysterious.

I still need to give Tokyo Vice a shot, it just looks so slow paced & I’m pretty tapped out of cop shows.

Lower Decks somehow has came out as my favorite Trek in YEARS.

SNW was a nice return to quality but it felt very, very slow at times. Redding browsing tv, which isn’t a bad thing, but im not watching all episode.

Thanks for the list bro. Been watching everything on it. Many bangers! I'm currently on Tokyo Vice - what a gem!

Poker face was too formulaic - too network TV - for my taste - buyt I like old girl in it, and it was fine. I think that Peacock/NBC Universal though has some good product. I definitely enjoyed The Resort.

Nice man! That's awesome to hear. Tokyo Vice is great. If you haven't seen Midnight Mass on Netflix, you should give that a shot. It was my fav from 2021.

*also, if you keep going; Sandman is probably not for everyone, but I liked it.
