eeeeehh... idk, i respect your opinion but i'd have to go with 2010s here tbh. probably because i've seen more from the decade, but visually and production-wise especially, i'm not too stoked about many popular 2000s series. i never cared too much for the 22-episode format either. plus as someone who values foreign-language productions, i can't think of any from the 2000s besides anime.

Interesting, could you elaborate? What are your favorite 2010s series, and which major 2000s series have you seen?

i have a lot of favourite 2010s shows tbh:

Shameless, Les Revenants, Game of Thrones, Black Mirror, Spartacus, Skam, The Affair, Inside No. 9, Banshee, Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, Girls, The Americans, Broad City, You're the Worst, Legion etc.

> which major 2000s series have you seen?

I've seen a lot of them actually:

Lost, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Gossip Girl etc.

I know that a lot of those went over into the next decade (because they were major of course). I'd say my favourite show from the 00s is Skins though. That's the one I'll rewatch every few years. Loved the early seasons of Veronica Mars too. But overall, I don't fuck with 00s television much, especially when it comes to aesthetics, you know.

I think the 2000s had better writing and character development, and the 2010s had better cinematography and cinematics. It's a trade off, but for a show, I tend to prefer the former to the latter.

Thing is, in the 00s it was all just American. That is no longer true at all

And there is way more genre diversity now

UK and Japan were making great shows in the 2000s too. And plus, a lot of genres have died off recently, like pure comedy.

The sitcom has died, yes. Japan obviously has always made anime - I meant really in terms of live-action serials.

It was like 90% US, 10% UK in the 90s and 00s.

this is a completely subjective thing.

Any opinion on art boils down to "its subjective". The fun is in the discussion/debate.
