I was going to say that it is because they're only considering shows that came out on the 2010s, but then I saw Mad Men on the list Of those on the list, I just watched for entirely The Good Place, which I love, and BCS. Some of them I gave up. Weird Rick and Morty is not on the list, but maybe the creepy fandom scared them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard about this before, but have never been exposed to it myself. I sub to the show's subreddit and I'm in a R&M FB shitposting group, neither of which stand out to me as being especially creepy or inappropriate. Weird how it keeps coming up though. But yeah, I'd have included that over Bojack, no question. Amazing cartoon series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've only seen 4 of those (BCS, Twin Peaks, Good Place, and Fleabag... all good shows), but want to see the others to varying degrees. I'd rank the order I'l likely eventually see them as something like The Leftovers Mad Men BoJack Horseman Atlanta Halt & Catch Fire Enlightened There are certainly many other shows not on this list I'll likely check out before some of those, notably Rick & Morty, The Terror, The Expanse, Homecoming, Love, Easy, Modern Love, The Boys, The Man in the High Castle... And boy are there a lot of great 2010s show not on that list, like HANNIBAL, Schitt's Creek, Breaking Bad, Fargo, True Detective, Black Mirror, Barry, Search Party, Mr Robot, Westworld, Mindhunter, Big Mouth...

This is extremely cringeworthy: But yeah, I guess it's just a noisy, whiny minority of histerical fans that give bad fame to the rest of the fandom.

Thor 7,504 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Well, if we're doing more specific rundowns of this: Quote Mad Men Tried it once several years ago, didn't quite grab me enough to stick with it. Quote Enlightened Never seen it. Quote BoJack Horseman It's OK; currently watching the latest season. But it's rather sluggish at times. Not the best animated series of the 2010s. Couldn't stand RICK & MORTY, but love series like FINAL SPACE or UNDONE, for example. Quote Halt & Catch Fire Never seen it, but I love Paul Haslinger's score -- especially for season 1. Quote The Leftovers Great show. Sometimes borders on Lindelof's "LOST complex" where the absence of answers eventually leads you into a 'bright white light' that answers (or fails to answer) all questions, but feels far more coherent than LOST. Richter's score is one of the best TV scores in the last decade. Quote Better Call Saul Superb show. Quote Atlanta Never seen it. Quote Fleabag Good show, but some of the naturalistic "body fluid" elements are a bit of a turnoff for me. Quote The Good Place Great one; looking forward to how they're going to wrap it now as it's entered its last season. Quote Twin Peaks: The Return Masterpiece. Some of my favourite shows that premiered in 2010 or later (and that are not anthology shows) are in the sci fi/horror mold: Äkta Människor (or its UK remake Humans) The Walking Dead/Fear the Walking Dead Dark Dark Crystal: Age of Resitance Ascension Altered Carbon Carnivale Falling Skies Game of Thrones Helix Les Revenants (season 1) Revolution Stranger Things The Expanse The Handmaid’s Tale The Haunting of Hill House The Last Ship The Leftovers The Mandalorian The Strain The Terror (season 1, NOT season 2) Twin Peaks: The Return Wayward Pines Some favourites that are NOT sci fi or paranormal include: Better Call Saul Homeland Justified House of Cards Black Sails Homecoming Mr. Robot Narcos The Americans Taboo Too Old to Die Young And then finally some great comedy shows in the period include: Bob's Burgers Better Things Broad City Derry Girls Episodes Fleabag Glow Love Master of None Party Down Red Oaks Santa Clarita Diet Schitt's Creek Silicon Valley Superstore The End of the F****ng World The Good Place The Last Man on Earth Vice Principals You're the Worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same issue with series like BROAD CITY and BETTER THINGS too, but in all these shows -- including FLEABAG -- the writing fortunately weighs up for it otherwise.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Fleabag is a breath of fresh air. I can't fault it. Oh btw! Olivia Colman fans should watch it for her alone.

Edmilson 7,454 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've tried and gave up after 8 episodes... sorta, because every time I tried to watch it I ended up falling asleep. And I really liked the first two seasons of TP, binged them on my father's DVD set about a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 With our new TV, one of my first urges was to watch Twin Peaks: The Return again. I actually got a few minutes into the first episode before looking at the time and deciding against it. I've already watched it twice since 2017 - if you know me and my rewatching habits, a third time is pretty much unprecedented this soon. Otherwise, I've seen The Good Place and Enlightened (both great!) and the first two seasons of Better Call Saul, which were okay-to-good, but they lost my spouse's interest and I never got around to going the rest on my own. Are we doing our decade top 10s here as well, or saving them for the JWFan Awards/Fannies at the end of the year? A special 2010s awards thread?

It's boring as fuck compared to S1&2. Great swathes of nothingness, punctuated by occasional moments of fleeting intrigue and wonder, but they are few and far between.

mstrox 6,651 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'd call most of them equally popular to most of the other ten shows on the list, though - and since you can only fit 10 shows on the list... I was wondering if they're talking about, like, NCIS or the Bing Bong Theory or something, which were **wildly** popular but not necessarily any good!

Well, obviously. How interesting would a list of the most popular shows be? A ranking by viewer stats? I love that the selection varies between the popular and the less famous, even though I disagree with some of the picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
