Fair credit is due, for a niche sci-fi show it punches above its weight.

Escobarbarian posted:What a crazy idea!! CeeJee posted:The best Marvel show of the year.  18. THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL (AMAZON) NEW ENTRY 39 points, listed 8 times, #1 spot 1 time It seems like every year we get one show sneaking in before the death that upsets everyone's plans for their lists. This year that show was The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It snuck out in December and set Couch Chat on fire with praise and now it's finished #18 on our poll. Who knows how well it could have placed if more people had had a chance to see it?

When you look at the creators responsible for the shows left in our countdown you really have to admit that we're living in a golden age of television. Gilligan, Lynch, Esmail, Schur, Simon, Fuller, Lindelof, Hawley. It's like a Who's Who of TV right there. But will one of them be responsible for our next show?Rarity posted:Really well written and really well acted. Looten Plunder posted:Loved the cast, loved the setting, loved the pacing. Escobarbarian posted:It's just FUN and entertaining. Arist posted:It’s rich and nuanced in the best of ways. Open Source Idiom posted:It's good, but in a tough gristly way. Jerusalem posted:It can be equal parts depressing and inspiring.  17. THE DEUCE (HBO) NEW ENTRY 39 points, listed 7 times, #1 spot 1 time Yes once again David Simon puts out an incredible story that paints a rich tapestry for a city falling to moral vice and once again it's ignored and not given the recognition it deserves. This #17 placing is just proof that more people need to be watching David Simon's work. Rarity fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Jan 14, 2018 |

Ok let's put the past in the past and focus on the future. We've still got fifteen shows separating us from the #1 show and there's some really strong contenders in there. We've still got American Gods, we've still got Legion, we've still got Agents of Shield! There's so many great shows and not enough space in the top 10 for all of them. Which one is going to fall by the wayside next?Jerusalem posted:The cast was incredible, the visuals were beautiful. And More posted:The soundtrack is great, the acting is amazing, and it all looks very beautiful. Arist posted:Some of the most gorgeous composition on television. Spatula City posted:For me, the beauty of the imagery, the sheer go-for-brokeness of it all made for a rich experience unlike anything else on TV. achillesforever6 posted:This show deserves all the stars and money in the world so I can at least get 4 more seasons of it. Pan Dulce posted:Tons of Jesuses celebrating Easter with Easter? How was that even allowed?  15. AMERICAN GODS (STARZ) NEW ENTRY 41 points, listed 8 times, #1 spot 1 time Yes it's a heartbreaking #15 finish for Bryan Fuller and American Gods. This Neil Gaiman adaptation has been big in the headlines in recent weeks and with the rails fast flying off this could be the only appearance it ever makes in our poll. Based on the strength of its first season, that would be a crying shame.

In the last three years it's placed #15, #11 and #14. But it's oddly fitting when you consider the subject matter. If ever there was a show that belonged just outside the top 10 it would be Bojack Horseman. See you back here next year, buddy!

But seriously, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend just missed out on a place in my list and it wasn't an easy decision. The blend of a brutal look at mental health with hilarious song and dance numbers is a winning combination.

Oh boy, oh boy we're almost at the top 10! Can you feel the tension building? Every show left is brimming with quality but sadly one of them isn't going to make it in there.

Looks like they needed about three more Imagine Dragons songs to really nail it!

Ladies and gentlegoons, it's been a blast up till now but let's get real. Everything up till now has been the preliminaries. Here's the part that we really care about. Here's the part where the best of the best fight it out for ultimate glory. We've reached the TVIV Top 10 of 2017 and there's not a turd in sight. Every entry left to come is a certified banger. But who's going to be able to take it home? Will it be Stranger Things with its Stephen King-inspired blast of 80s nostalgia? Maybe it'll be the distilled quality and intense character drama of Better Call Saul? Or will it be the rapid-fire wit and rollicking pace of The Good Place? We'll find out soon enough but first we've got to see our #10!a crisp refreshing Moxie posted:One of my favorite shows of last year returns with an explosive new season. Regy Rusty posted:This show is still as strong as ever. Rocksicles posted:No explanation required if you have been watching it. achillesforever6 posted:I know its dumb to put this over most of the shows listed here. Arist posted:How is this as good as it is, as consistently as it is? CeeJee posted:Better then most major Marvel movies. bou posted:Still better than any X-Men movie. cant cook creole breem posted:Way better than any other Marvel show. (FIght me!)  10. AGENTS OF SHIELD (ABC) UP 12 67 points, listed 11 times BEST ON ABC After taking a break from our top 10 last year TVIV's perennial favourite returns as Agents of Shield retakes its place to infuriate goons at #10. And once again the world is as it should be.

It looks like worries of this show being a one season wonder have been firmly put to bed as this remains one of the few shows around to have reached the status of cultural milestone. At this point it's safe to say Stranger Things will be a mainstay of our polls for years to come.

A fine result for this underdog show and a fine result for Amazon, which breaks the top 10 for the very first time.

It appeared on Netflix with no hype, no established stars and a premise that's so difficult to sell and it came out to claim a top 10 finish while beating out every other Netflix offering including Stranger Things! And it's no less than the show deserves. I made this my #1 show of 2017 and I can't urge you enough to give it a go. It was the most fun, moving and mesermising four hours of television of my year.

This year picked up the pace once more as the show rattled through a number of devastating plot twists. Is there time travel? Maybe, maybe not. (No, no there isn't). But no matter how wild this show wants to get the strength of Rami Malek's acting and Esmail's striking cinematography keeps us fully strapped in for the ride. Prepare yourselves, friends. We're about to dive into the Top 5...

Ok we're into the Top 5 now and as is tradition this is the point where we drop the bullshit and get down to business. Better Call Saul. Legion. The Good Place. The Leftovers. Twin Peaks. One of these shows is walking away with the crown as TVIV's #1 Show of 2017. Any of these would be a worthy winner but there's only room at the top for one. Which show are we going to lose first? There's only one way to find out!Yer Burnt posted:Fascinating. HorseRenoir posted:Really enjoying this show. achillesforever6 posted:One for the ages. Cart posted:Just brilliant all around.

BETTER CALL SAUL (AMC) DOWN 2 112 points, listed 18 times, #1 spot 1 time BEST ON AMC Better Call Saul continues its stunning run of success with it's third Top 5 finish in our poll. But despite this acclaim it's got to be a gutter for Vince Gilligan as he misses out on matching Breaking Bad's success yet again. Will Better Call Saul ever be able to reach that final goal? It's going to be at least another year before we find out.

Just four shows left now and you know that a win would mean so much to each of them. The Good Place has the chance to be the first show to ever break the comedy curse that keeps them from taking the top spot. Noah Hawley knows what it's like to taste success before with Fargo and he would love to be back there again with his new baby. Fans of The Leftovers have been rabid about this show for years and a #1 result would be validation for their years of dedication. David Lynch took eighteen years to create the third season of Twin Peaks and taking home the prize would mean that all that effort and all that time would be truly worth it. But only one show can have its dreams fulfilled and it's not going to be this one...Corte posted:Emotionally wrenching. GobiasIndustries posted:A beautiful, sad, confusing, sometimes goofy show. nate fisher posted:This is one of the best shows of the last 10 years.

THE LEFTOVERS (HBO) RE-ENTRY 113 points, listed 14 times, #1 spot 5 times BEST ON HBO BEST ENDING SHOW Oh no! It's all gone horribly wrong for Toxxupation as The Leftovers crashes out a distant fourth! And with the show wrapping up its final season it will never have another opportunity to make that challenge. But a #4 finish is not to be sniffed at by any means, especially with the limited extent of its fanbase. Be proud, guys. You did good.

I don't know about you guys but my heart is in my mouth at this point. We've only got three possible contenders left. Twin Peaks, The Good Place and Legion are in an absolute battle to see who gets to bring this one home. You almost wish that they could all win but that's just not possible. Oh what cruel world we live in where one of these shows must settle for being the runner up to the runner up. Here's your #3 show of 2017!Escobarbarian posted:A minor miracle.

TWIN PEAKS (SHOWTIME) NEW ENTRY 119 points, listed 13 times, #1 spot 8 times HIGHEST AVERAGE MOST #1 PLACEMENTS Well, drat. I don't think the bookies would have given you good odds on this one. David Lynch's return to television has been one of the talking points of the year with critics being as bold as to list it as one of the best MOVIES of 2017. But despite all that Twin Peaks is going to have to be content with a third place finish. I'll tell you what though, on average Twin Peaks received over 9 points from each person who named it on their lists which is a phenomenal figure. No show in the history of our poll has ever done so well and no show is likely to do so again.

Noah Hawley has played an absolute blinder in this show of insanity about insanity.

Ok it's just about time to celebrate TVIV's #1 Show of 2017 but before we do we'd better clear up the bits and pieces. First here's the countdown of this year's Top Networks! 10. ABC (77 points) 9. USA (112 points) 8. Showtime (127 points) 7. Amazon (135 points) 6. The CW (153 points) 5. AMC (173 points) 4. NBC (177 points) 3. FX (201 points) 2. HBO (285 points) 1. Netflix (419 points) In the ongoing clash of the titans between HBO and Netflix we saw Netflix steal back the crown through sheer virtue of volume. While none of their shows broke into the triple figures they were responsible for over 20% of all shows listed. Meanwhile NBC returns to the top 5 and takes the title of best basic channel despite only having one show listed. That show just happened to be the overall number one. And Amazon have broken into the top 10 for the first time! Perhaps there's a new threat on the horizon for next year. As is tradition we also have our two goon awards to give out. The prize for 2017's Sharpest Clairvoyant is given to the goon who named the most of this year's top 10 in their list. And this year the one who most represents the masses is... Arist! And of course we can't forget the title of 2017's Biggest Hipster, awarded to the goon who ignored the most of this year's most beloved offerings. This was a close one, folks. It went all the way down to a tie-breaker and Senerio put in a good effort but claiming the prize for a record second year in a row it's BSam! But it's put the attention where it matters, on our #1 Show of 2017. Let's take it away... Tiggum posted:This show doesn't sound very good and I think it's pretty much impossible to sell it effectively. Joose Caboose posted:Simply the best show on television. Pan Dulce posted:The hype is real. bagrada posted:Funny and touching and often surprising. karrethuun posted:Constantly surprising me. Regy Rusty posted:I look forward to it more than anything every week. GobiasIndustries posted:They've nailed everything pretty flawlessly so far. Cart posted:An absolute triumph of ambition. Looten Plunder posted:This season could have gone of the rails so easily but it only got better. Problematic Pigeon posted:Spinning off in directions with such great speed yet never feeling rushed or out of left field. fancy stats posted:They found a way to not only keep the show fresh, but they also managed to make it even more entertaining. adhuin posted:Hijinks ensued. cant cook creole breem posted:They basically crammed a whole season into the first episode. And then things get fast. Spatula City posted:The plot moves like an ostrich with its butt on fire. Rarity posted:Balls to the wall pacing. Andrew_1985 posted:Rushing through story at an insane pace. Arist posted:How can a show be so willing to blow itself up in so many different ways? Escobarbarian posted:“HOLY CRAP THEY BLEW UP EVERYTHING! DarklyDreaming posted:Wrote a check no one expected the show could cash, then cashed it and wrote a dozen more. Zaggitz posted:Partly because it's near perfect tv. Partly because Occ hates it and I hate Occ.  DO NOT watch this clip if you're intended to start watching the show  1. THE GOOD PLACE (NBC) UP 9 177 points, listed 25 times, #1 spot 6 times BEST ON NBC BEST COMEDY MOST LISTED SHOW It was a close-run race for much of the voting with all of the top four taking their turn at the top but as the deadline approached The Good Place really took over to emerge as a clear and decisive winner. Michael Schur's latest offering blends a feel-good tone with acerbic jokes and a plot that moves like a runaway train and is a very worthy show to be named not just TVIV's Show of 2017 but also [b]the first comedy to ever be TVIV's #1. Goongratulations!

Yeah I was surprised when The Good Place took a lead in the closing stretches but I can't say I'm unhappy. The show is loving relentless in its pace and you never know where it's going next and it's really funny and I want Tahani to be my soulmate. I guess it turns out the way for a comedy to win our poll is to have better storylines than most dramas.

BSam posted:I wasn't trying for it, at least not as badly as last year. But how close was sen? please explain the tie-breaker Both of you listed Riverdale which finished at #11 so I looked for your next best result. Senerio had Legends of Tomorrow at #28 and you had Doctor Who at #35 so you won.
