Atlanta? No fucking way.
I actually really liked it an would put it on my top 100 list. granted I don’t think I’ve seen a hundred total sooo
Always Sunny is SEVENTY-EIGHTH?! gtfoutta here.
Agreed they definitely are innovators and envelope pushers, they deserve higher than garbage like 30 rock
I’m so far behind on that show, like probably 10+ seasons behind. I got tired of it after a certain point. I feel like I’m not alone.
Oh ya sunny is the utmost sit com. The characters don’t change and stay the same, they don’t learn and have nothing to say. I think that’s why they have so much staying power.
They have permanently kicked the ass of the sitcom genre. Even their new season is funny as hell. They’ve been making the show for like 18 years or something and can still come up with good episodes. I kinda hope they just retire it if DeVito is ready to quit though.
I think that’s why I’ve no interest in watching it.
Who made this list lol. Shit shows are high ranked, good shows low ranked. Makes no sense.
I’d assume that it’s based on some form of measure. How many times streamed, average episode rating, how many streaming/hosting licenses were purchased, etc etc.
I can absolutely see how a show without much narrative complexity but is delightful ‘popcorn’ to second-screen watch after a long day could perform well. It’s all in which metrics were used and how they were weighted.
I also think they only checked certain streaming services, but not all. Because there are some very good shows missing. And also many older shows are missing. At least Six Feet Under made the list, as an older show. But it shouldn’t be so low on the list. Especially when you see the other shows above it. It makes no sense.
Also I didn’t see Utopia (UK), The Expanse, Silo and Shrinking, which are really good. The Expanse is seen as the best scifi ever made. How can it be missing from the list.
Then they added Black Mirror, low on the list, without specifying seasons or UK and US as with other shows. The first UK seasons should have been at least in the top 10.
Idk the shows between breaking Bad and GoT. Btw. Where is the walking dead?
I’ve haven’t seen the vast majority of these so I can’t speak for their quality.
Some I’ve started but haven’t finished and the quality varies drastically.
I’ve only seen four of these to completion (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Mare of Easttown and Baby Reindeer) only two of which (Breaking Bad and Mad Men) I would recommend.
But the biggest questions on my mind: why would you compile such a list when there’s still 8 decades left in this century? Will television as a medium still exit in 2101?
If you liked Breaking Bad, I think you should give Better Call Saul a chance. It’s slower but well-written and the direction is very high level.
arguably Better Call Saul is even better than Breaking Bad.
not through any fault or flaw with Breaking Bad. Both are absolutely masterpieces.
I’m curious how they made the list… It couldn’t have been just some intern / writer putting down their top 100? There had to be some sort of stats involved no? Like number of people watching? Number of weekly watchers? Impact on online discussions? I don’t see what state it could have been which would have ignored so many other shows.
I’m like why aren’t the sopranos in here and I’m like o ya that show came out in the 90s! Then I’m like fuck i’m old.
Also Gilmore Girls deserves to be way, way higher on that list!
No Young Sheldon? Wtf
I think these are as good as any on this list as well. My faves.
Black Sails
Arcane
Letterkenny
Norsemen
Corner Gas
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Arcane doesn’t belong but you are right on black sails
Corner Gas mentioned?! Let’s go!!!
Ferdaaaa
A ton of very questionable choices on this list. Many of these aren’t even prestige TV?
Why should that be a criteria for ranking among the 100 best TV-shows of the 21st century?
Interesting, never heard of a lot in the top 10. Maybe not available here or renamed
No anime on the list means they’re just uncultured.
Office UK is better than Office US.
I tried to agree with you at one point
Never made it past episode 3
Typical NYT list, lots of filler series. But where the fuck is 24?
Deadwood. Great show. Definitely belongs on the list. Cancelled too early. I heard rumors about a movie that would work as the final episode as something.
Some really well portrayed characters, some really poorly portrayed characters, and the writing after the first season and a half was plywood. Not paper thin, but pretty weak.
No Pushing Daisies?
