Hail Procrastinatorio, final edit 11:54pm AZT 1/10/21. Honorable Mentions: Walking Dead all action no (meaningful) talk Review meta genius Archer set a lot of the tone for the decade Australian Survivor improving on a formula, minus the 8 episodes a week part The Mandalorian finally one actually feels like a star wars Patriot deserves better, made me cry laughing so often Bojack Horseman deserves better, made me laugh crying so often Broad City shower rod on the subway says it all Last Week Tonight was the nominal anti-Rump War Room Game of Thrones do not reward making GBS threads the bed American Horror Story iconic moments; an actors' sandbox with a few really fun seasons Ted Lasso kept us from going full feral during pandemic Black Mirror was occasionally great but needed more consistency Person of Interest primed us for man vs machine a decade too soon Mrs. America is important Galavant do Schmigadon't Silicon Valley captured the kooky side of 1990s Silicon Valley but missed the heart Dispatches from Elsewhere celebrated individuality and teamwork Rectify should be in my top 20 but is the victim of my procrastination. Languid Southern drama, poignant character studies. 20. For All Mankind gently caress it. It was super watchable and entertaining and taught us real-world feminism by improving upon the sausage party that was the Space Race. 19. Hannibal Eventually got too up its own rear end, but before it did, was a glorious mindfuck. 18. Boardwalk Empire So many memorable characters. That's good writing. 17. Fleabag This or Broad City? This is the deeper show. 16. Taskmaster Watch people get frustrated, with a comedic wrapping glazing the theme of mild-to-moderate humiliation. 15. The Americans Shows how and how barely the "good guys" won the Cold War. 14. Rick and Morty I love my uncle to death, but I'd trade him for Uncle Rick in a heartbeat and he knows it. 13. Mr Robot For a while there it looked like they were really going to say something BIG. 12. The Good Place It's always a good idea to bring philosophy to the masses. 11. Halt and Catch Fire This feels like the serious side of Silicon Valley felt in the 1990s. 10. Veep I'd watch a West Wing reboot if they promised to be this lovely to each other. 9. Breaking Bad So much of the magic of this show is in the fine details. Also, some episodes suck, so skip 'em. 8. Fargo It's tough to reboot every season and maintain flow but dontchaknow they pulled it off. 7. Mad Men Would be a nearly sufficient thematic summary for the decade it covers. 6. The Expanse Making great sci-fi for TV is way harder than climbing into orbit on a stack of urine bottles. 5. Better Call Saul A very well-told story, just happens to be about someone we met in another well-told story 4. The Knick You had me at "lunatic junkie surgeon" 3. Atlanta Life's problems are just so much worse without a heaping of privilege 2. Chernobyl Future generations will watch this in lieu of PhDs in Comparative Government 1. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Come for the songs, stay for the mental health boot camp MrBuddyLee fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Jan 11, 2022 |
