Very hard this year with set contenders for 1-3 and for 8-15 and i really struggled with what to place in the middle and on the bench. So here goes (for now), starting with the special prizes: Sorry-you-just-didn't-make-it Awards: Brooklyn 99 - funniest season maybe since the first Stranger Things - Good atmosphere alone is not enough Gotham - just stupid, but sometimes hilariously so Wynonna Earp - Guilty pleasure gently caress-you-too Award: Game of Thrones - yeah, if you don't care anymore i also won't The-bad-guy-was-right-and-the-heroes-are-pricks Award: Inhumans - my first ever hatewatch? Amazing Let's get to the point(s): 10 Strike Back  Obviously could not hold up to the insanely high expectations. They could easily fall from a cliff on either side of a) looking like a cheap knockoff of the legendary previous seasons or b) not being close enough to the charm of the predecessor. And, at least for me, it hit a good middle in the couple episodes that already aired on Sky. Looking forward to the rest of the season in 2018 (why is there a break in a 10 Episode Series?). Give it a fair chance. 9 Z-Nation  Lost a lot of its appeal as they decided to focus too much on Warrens vision stuff. And i didn't like how they literally made some characters disappear. Other stuff was still good, even and especially the radioactive foam storm Barbershop. Curious how next season after "The Reset" starts off. 8 Blood Drive  Went from capital-B Cannonball spoof with lots of gore to some weird corporate conspiracy future-whatever. In some way the deranged brother of Z-Nation. Plus it gave the gift of Julian Slink to the world. 7 Killjoys  Stays its course which is a feat in itself. Still very charming and enjoyable. Still i liked it more when they were just "Space Bounty Hunters". 6 Agents of Shield  Still better than any X-Men movie. I like the future-setting and the return of HUNTER! secured its place on my list. 5 The Orville  Best Trek was original KirkTrek and this is as close as we can get to it nowadays. For the record: I hate Family Guy and Discovery lacks personality. 4 Crazy Ex-Girlfriend  I had fun watching last season as "show about silly woman-things" mixed with funny musical interludes. Then it gradually and gracefully slipped into very dark waters without becoming unenjoyable. 3 Legends of Tomorrow  When you're looking for fun in your superhero-tv look no further. They make every stupid thing work and even manage to make you cry in the end without anything feeling out of place. Obligatory link to THAT intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7VDZwwTCDo 2 Dirk Gently Hollistic Detecive Agency  I really wanted to love Season one but absolutely couldn't connect (ha!) to the storyline and everything fell kinda flat with it. Season 2 was just glorious insanity with tons of lovable characters and a love to the little details. To make every weird and crazy thing work and fit in the story in a way that makes you say "of course" afterwards is a gigantic feat of cast and crew and the cancellation is a crime against humanity! May the happily singing one-eyed one-armed fire-breathing peopleeater catch up to you! 1 Expanse  Sci-Fi setting, politicking on the back of "the workers", extraterrestrial threat with technical abilities beyond comprehension, cool characters and some pew-pew. All the buttons pressed - all the points! Finally i would like to thank all the nice forum posters and especially the GIF-wizards for their input over the year. Thank you! bou fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Dec 31, 2017 |

Thanks to Rarity for your work and putting so much effort in the presentation of the winners! Since i'll probably never follow the countdown live (CET) i have no preference either way for next year. i really enjoy this yearly event, so thanks to all participants,too. And now go watch all my listed shows. BSam - if you really awarded any points to Inhumans, you deserve... some prize.
