Not sure if I should be sad that Preacher ranked so low, or happy that it recovered so well from Season 2.

Ten down, a mere twenty to go. We're plugging our way through and now we've come to your top 20 favourite shows of 2018. The big contenders are all still in play and it is all on the line. Will The Good Place hold on to its crown for a second year or will it be unseated by some young upstart? Legion is still out there. So are both of those Amazon shows and so is American Vandal. The picture starts to get a little bit clearer with your #20...Problematic Pigeon posted:A big improvement over an already-great first season.

I just started watching this show (Daredevil) yesterday and the last episode I watched had the scene from the link above (thanks for linking a video with each Rarity, it's cool and good and should continue!) - it was extremely impressive. That said, it was clearly playing off the single-take shot from season 1 and that's pretty indicative of Marvel Netflix as whole: taking things that worked the first time and repeating them again and again to diminishing returns. It used to be I would be excited for each new Marvel release and binge them as quickly as possible. Last year the only one that really had me excited was Jessica Jones season 2 and that turned out to be a letdown (still good, but a big drop in quality), while Luke Cage fell apart at the halfway point and I didn't even bother with Iron Fist after the terrible first season and the godawful Defenders. Edit: Hang on wasn't Daredevil there a second ago?

The top 10 is fast approaching but with so many great shows in the running some are going to fall short. We're still waiting to hear from Cobra Kai. We're still waiting on The Americans.

And so we come, friends, to the precipice. The top 10 awaits but for one show it will have to live with the sad fate of falling just short. Will it be Atlanta? Will it be Patriot? Will it be Better Call Saul? There's only one way to find out as we jump into your #11...adhuin posted:There's only tragedy and misery in this show.

There is no place in the top 10 for a show of such horror and wickedness, a word here describing the quality of being evil or morally wrong. The final season of this show has already been released but I implore you please do not seek this show out lest you desire to be left with feelings of discontent and deep ambivalence.

Props on picking that video for ASOUE. It is one of the less tragic videos you could have picked for this show. I hope that, despite the horror of that show, Louis Hynes has a long career ahead of him as the high spot of that cast.
