I’ll quote myself from the other post about this:
Why the fuck would I care what the NYT thinks about TV shows?
True Detective shouldn’t even be considered a series. Just an 8-part miniseries with 3 more fan fiction spins afterwards.
Vince Vaughn as a cop was the worse TV in HBO. I bet there is a star at the lobby when they killed that character.
I won’t watch anything with Vince in it, he’s a terrible actor
I wouldn’t put Breaking Bad over The Wire.
I wouldn’t put Breaking Bad over many things. I’m still sore I made myself watch the whole thing.
The Wire is, without a doubt, the best written show in television history. If anyone hasn’t seen it, you have to see it.
The writing in Oz might be better.
Nah it totally jumps the shark when Marlo is introduced. The shield is better. Plus it had a whole universe
True Detectives (SEASON ONE)
lol the people behind season 2 must be fuming…
Also, if they can just, randomly specify seasons of a show, why aren’t they excluding the last season of GoT? or the finale of Lost (haven’t seen, but come to believe that the finale was considered one of the worst ever)?
No whose line?
Though the majority of its runtime has been in the 21st century, it initially aired in September of 1998 (British version was back in '88). Every other entry on this list starts at 2000 or later.
The Good Place should be ranked 1st because the list is subjective and I disagree with it, also I haven’t watched most of these shows. Community would be in 2nd place.
Okay so I love Mike Schur, but I know the twist of The Good Place and that’s stayed me from prioritizing watching it.
My question to you is, does knowing the twist change some of the comedy for a first viewing?
No way! It’s definitely still worth a watch. I’ve never had a show make me cry so severely both from laughter and sadness. It’s beautiful!
It only matters for the first season. I also didn’t mind rewatching it, as there are small details here and there hinting at the big spoiler (or at least that’ll remind you of it)
The Good Place season 1 spoilers ("the twist")
I’ve watched the show 3 times and I still enjoy it (it’s my “comfort show”).
The vibe definitely changes on a second watch, or if you know the twist, but it’s enjoyable either way! You notice so much foreshadowing for it and the jokes remain funny (funnier when knowing the twist, in my opinion).
Anyway, the plot twist happens at the end of the first season of the show, so even if, to you, knowing it kinda stains the experience, it has 3 more seasons after the initial twist. I really recommend watching it!
No Seinfield?
Seinfeld ran from 1989-98. This is a list of 21st century shows
But gilmore girls is in there? Please dont tell me gilmore girls was on during the 2000s and fuck with my memory
Sheet says 2000-07, starting on the WB and their last season concluded on the CW. Maybe you only saw it on CW?
Holy shit i googled and it started in 2000… my whole life i remembered that show being on in the 90s…wtf
Seinfeld sucked. What a dumb show.
For you
Shocking. Man has opinion and that opinion primarily applies to himself.
I tried. I just couldn’t ever get into it.
So… For you…
Isn’t every comment like that?
The sitcom format in general just doesn’t work for modern audiences. The format needed entirely self contained narratives which could be watched with a whole family - that isn’t what the market demands these days.
I think Seinfield sucked but I think all sitcom sucks, mostly because I didn’t grow up in a house that watched them + moved to streaming before I had my own place.
I’ve watched almost none of these. But I’ve seen a lot of them advertised - hard. This feel like promotional material. I’d bet all of these are currently streaming on varying services. I mean looook at all these shows you haven’t seen. Do you want to be the only one who hasn’t seen PEN15? If you don’t keep paying higher and higher monies to your streaming overlords you’ll miss the the in progress award winning shows. Do you want to be a social pariah?
I would actually recommend PEN15 to anyone willing to listen
Dude same, it’s weird that there’s a couple comments specifically singling it out in this thread.
Pen15 is the best. You people are uncultured swine. You haven’t even seen it and you judge.
Who puts a limited series next to a tv show?
Someone who doesn’t know what the fuck good tv is that’s who.
Girls at 13 is much more egregious, IMO
Key and Peele rated higher than Chappelle show? What are we even doing here?
Key and Peele did it better.
I don’t agree with the list, but what is with the check boxes. Where’s the box for “this show sucked.”
All time best show is Friends, everybody knows it.
Completely trash
It was a joke.
/s
Here you dropped this
Lmao @ The OA.
That’s the one where they prevented a school shooting through the magic of interpretive dance right?
No Young Sheldon? Wtf
