Twin Peaks and Leftovers will absolutely be my top 2, and it's more likely than not Patriot will take the third slot. gently caress TV ruled this year

Is Fiasconauts really applicable? Stuff like Sex House I got because it was by Onion people, but just a random web show of people playing a board game? At the very least, this seems like a good opportunity to get clarification.

I mean you've basically just ensured your list won't be counted by putting Young Pope in. Also the people who run this thread aren't mods.

ok FUCKERS here's some stuff from me. first up, a list of the worst shows of 2017. gently caress these shows: NOT THIS LIST OCC AND RARITY THE OTHER ONE posted:10. Preacher - This show wastes everything good it has going for it on meandering boring nonsense, someone give the writers a kick up the loving rear end for gently caress's sake Also posting my 50-11 for anyone wondering where so-and-so show is: 50. Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events 49. Catastrophe 48. Peaky Blinders 47. Curb Your Enthusiasm 46. One Mississippi 45. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt 44. No Activity 43. Brooklyn Nine-Nine 42. Superstore 41. Baskets 40. Transparent 39. Mindhunter 38. Sneaky Pete 37. Speechless 36. American Gods 35. Samurai Jack 34. The Handmaid’s Tale 33. GLOW 32. Game of Thrones 31. Search Party 30. Nathan For You 29. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend 28. American Vandal 27. Fargo 26. Easy 25. You’re the Worst 24. SMILF 23. Feud 22. Girls 21. Brockmire 20. Vice Principals 19. Riverdale 18. BoJack Horseman 17. Review 16. Mr. Robot 15. Master of None 14. Adventure Time 13. Lady Dynamite 12. Halt and Catch Fire 11. Legion (loving AGONISED between leaving this or my 9/10 off, poo poo finale pushed it over the edge, sorry Legion) top 10 comin....RIGHT NOW: 10. Big Little Lies Easily the best thing David E. Kelley has done in years and a great portrayal of upper-class affluence and female friendships, led by a whole bunch of incredible female performances. 09. Better Call Saul Came pretty close to taking this out of my top 10 because the Mike/Gus stuff isn't great but MAN is everything else amazing enough to make up for it. Jimmy's downfall becomes ever slower and more tragic, while Chuck, already an all-time great TV character, got some of his best and most heartbreaking moments. And Kim is still an impeccably underrated character. 08. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel One of the most exciting new shows in forever and it's only this low because there needed to be more of it. Rachel Brosnahan puts in a superb performance as the lead, while ASP's writing has improved since the Gilmore days while still being hilarious and charming. Plus a show about a great comedian where the comedy is actually good?? What a crazy idea!! 07. The Deuce Spent most of its first season as another Simon great but the last couple episodes put it up there in Wire-level. The characters and setting are very memorable, with a lot of moving stories about the dehumanisation of sex workers and growth of their industry in 70s New York. Plus, despite never taking advantage of its subject matter, it's just FUN and entertaining in a way Simon's shows have never been. 06. Rick and Morty Holy loving crap this show was so good this year. It's easy to gloss over the season's greatness in favour of yelling about spergy misogynist sauce-wanters, but at least like 6 of this season's episodes were loving incredible and all-timers for an animated sitcom, with some of the densest 22-minute scripting and most emotional character work I've seen in the medium. The best season of this show yet, but I have no idea how long Harmon and Roiland can keep balancing on this tightrope, arguably the finale was a bit of a slip 05. The Good Place This was already high up in my top 20 last year just from the initial first several episodes being so good and then HOLY CRAP THEY BLEW UP EVERYTHING and the show became way more interesting but then oh i can see how s2 could be a weekly sitcom aga-OH NO THEY JUST SPED THROUGH ALL THAT IN ONE EPISODE and now it's just crazy and funny as heck and able to continue its more thoughtful ideas but with more elaborate execution. Could end up as Schur's best show ever which is saying a lot. 04. Patriot The one underrated show moaned about in Couch Chat that actually deserved the praise! A very morose and funny spy dramedy with gorgeous composition and a great lead performance. While you can compare it to certain Coen works it's entirely its own thing with its own tone and one of the more unique TV shows I've seen in some time. So unbelievably excited for the second season! 03. Better Things One of the most loving and humanistic pieces of television ever seen, Pamela Adlon's work directing, co-writing, and starring in every episode of this season was totally phenomenal. The whole show just feels so lived-in in a way a lot of sitcoms can't manage with five times the effort, while the more thoughtful and thematic side was always very meaningful, doing a fantastic job of getting you into Adlon's shoes and understanding how tough it can be to be a woman and deal with dudes' lovely behaviour and raise dipshit children but also you love them etc. 02. The Leftovers The ending to what is, overall, going to most likely be the best show of this decade (depending on how you wanna count things like Breaking Bad and Mad Men) was almost completely perfect, sending most of its cast on a spiralling journey of self-discovery and finishing off multiple character arcs in perfect fashion, with at least three? four? of the best character-focused eps TV has ever seen. Plus one of the all-time great finales that satisfied basically everyone. Like it was gonna take a minor miracle for this to be not 1 on this list, no question. Anyway my number 1 pick is a minor miracle. 01. Twin Peaks Wally Brando. The Mitchum brothers. The nuke. The charred men. Kyle loving MacLachlan. Gordon/Albert dream team. Charleyne Yi screams. A group of showgirls and businessmen conga into an insurance office bearing gifts. Amanda Seyfried stares into the sky as the cocaine takes effect. Evil rises, and light to meet it. The creature in the box. Ike 'The Spike'. Lucy learns how cell phones work. Shaggy has a scuba-related breakdown. David Bowie is a talking tea kettle, or at least the smoke coming out of it. The Hutchenses! Janey-E! Laura Dern! Eamon Farren! Harry Dean Stanton! Kyle GODAMN MOTHERFUCKING MacLachlan, my dudes!!! It makes no sense that this show existed, yet alone that it had all this stuff in it, yet alone that it all felt of one with each other.....but that's the power of David Lynch. That list isn't even half of the incredible poo poo that happens over the course of this 18-hour show. which perplexed, infuriated, and captured my heart every single week. Leftovers is probably the "better" show, but this one was so captivating, such a blast to watch, and just made my heart sour. I don't think we'll ever see another project like it, and no doubt it goes down in history as one of the best things to ever come out of the medium. ok that's my dumb post over, i hope you liked whichever parts of it you read Escobarbarian fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Jan 2, 2018 |

Well heck, I can't dissuade anyone from watching Legion. I got bored of B99 around the end of s3/beginning of s4 but this year has been a nice return to form imo. Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Rarity, thank you for going to all this trouble. I looked forward to this poll the last few years, enjoy contributing, and really appreciate everything you put into it. I hate awards shows, but this is a real kick, and I realize it's no small undertaking. I'll save my big thank you for afterwards as always but YES absolutely

Yep, Cartoon Network are really loving up their major shows right now. It’s especially annoying for SU because each mini-arc follows on so closely from the last.
