    Let's see, in no particular order:
    1. The Chris Gethard Show
    2. American Vandal
    3. Over the Garden Wall
    4. Jessica Jones
    5. Hannibal
    6. Orphan Black
    7. Runaways
    8. Bojack Horseman
    9. Penny Dreadful
    10. Teen Wolf

    That's mostly cribbed from y'all's lists, so I'm assuredly missing something weird that only I watched

    Honorable mentions to The Last Man on Earth, Gravity Falls, and What We Do In The Shadows.

    Over The Garden Wall is so good

    we should rewatch it

  • minor incidentminor incident expert in a dying field njRegistered User regular
    Also, more of y'all need to watch Halt & Catch Fire, because it's just incredible TV, and the cast is just the best.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    In no real order

    Watchmen
    Doom Patrol
    The Good Place
    Superstore
    Hannibal
    BoJack Horseman
    Riverdale
    Gotham
    Fringe
    Happy Endings

    Honorable mention to Regular Show which debuted in 2009

    Also honorable mention to Sleepy Hollow which would have made the list if they kept the quality of the first season going.

    Fringe debuted in 2008. Otherwise it would be at #1 on my list. Because "White Tulip" is the greatest episode of TV ever written.

    Shit! You're right! Remove Fringe and add Bob's Burgers.

    Bob's Burgers was instrumental to my convincing my Nana of the cruel and vacuous nature of The Big Bang Theory

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

    I'm a little leery of having Watchmen on my list as it's only been 3 episode.

    But man, those 3 episodes

    This is making me think I need to give Hannibal a shot

    I’m only in season 2, but I think Letterkenny needs to be on my list

    I just honestly haven’t watched it

    I plan on it! But, That’s the case for most (almost all?) of the shows not on my list, I’ve either seen nothing or only a handful of episodes. Even Bobs Burgers I’ve only seen the first two seasons of and need to catch up on a lot

    There’s a Lot of TV

    I don’t watch much and am not as cultured as most of you but my list would include:

    Hannibal
    The Good Place
    Over the Garden Wall
    Person of Interest
    Bob’s Burgers
    The Great British Bake-Off
    The Fall

    Actually that’s about it, there’s a ton I haven’t watched and anything else hasn’t registered enough for me to remember/care about

    Barry might be on there except Mori and I both find it a very anxiety-inducing show

    (Also it’s anime but Mob Psycho 100 absolutely deserves a place on the list)

    Lead through the mist
    By the milk-light of moon
    All that was lost is revealed

    Our long bygone burdens
    Mere echoes of the spring
    But where have we come
    And where shall we end

    If dreams can't come true
    Then why not pretend

    How the gentle wind
    Echoes through the leaves
    As autumn colours fall

    Dancing in a swirl
    Of golden memories
    The loveliest...lies...of all...

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

    Is a decade ending?

    Is next year 2020?

    Fuck I guess it is

    Shit, I forgot Broadchurch.

    Put that at number 2 for me and we should be good.

    I currently have That Feeling. That, "Oh, I guess this is all I'm gonna be thinking about this week" feeling, that, "So THIS is what 'appointment television' feels like" feeling, with Watchmen. But it's the first time I've had That Feeling since Terriers.

    The 4th season of Breaking Bad was definitely the most “this is all I think about all week” I’ve ever been with an airing show

    Also no particular order, but my ten favorites of the past decade:

    Terriers
    Atlanta
    Lodge 49
    Fleabag
    Justified
    The Americans
    The Young Pope
    Barry
    Succession
    Halt & Catch Fire (someday I may even watch season 1)

    Honorable mentions to Party Down (which misses out because its first season was in 2009) and Watchmen, which will almost certainly make the list but I'm not counting anything that hasn't at least finished a season yet.

    I was talking about the best shows of the decade with a buddy, and we started talking about the best lines from any of these shows, and I narrowed it down to my 3 favorite lines of dialogue from the 2010s:

    3) Justified:
    "Next one's coming faster."

    Tied for 1) Halt & Catch Fire:
    "Most of us in the human race, we don't get to know what comes next. We just feel shit as it's thrown at us."

    "I get a little lightheaded sometimes if I shit real big."

    American Vandal is reeeeeal close to being on my top 10. The care and attention that went into something so dumb is 100% up my alley. And kayfabe setup for season 2 is my favorite thing ever.

    I'm not seeing True Detective or Jessica Jones on many of these lists, so are these shows I've never heard of actually good or are y'all just forgetting?

    They are generally both regarded as having a great s1 and an awful s2.

    I've never seen Jessica Jones

    True Detective season 2 is legitimately one of the worst TV seasons I've ever watched start to finish

    I guess the 82% RT score was higher than I'd expect, but still a big drop from 94 for s1. I mostly hated it (and think s1 is tremrndous), but probably should give S3 a shot since I watched all the other Netflix Marvel stuff.

    I thought JJ S2 was mostly just okay, the main storylines just weren't that interesting. Also I was still pissed off that I watched The Defenders instead of doing literally anything else.
