    It’s one of my personal favorites, but I am still a bit surprised to see House so high on the list.

    Imo one notable absence from this list is “The good place”, which imo is among the all time greats, managing to stay consistently good from start to finish.

    Also I actually haven’t seen the other true detective seasons, but heard they aren’t even close to as good as the first one. So i assume the rating is heavily carried by it?

        I think the show is great. But man as someone who’se actually studied Moral Philosophy, the show is really tough to watch because it oversimplifies and misinterprets so much and Chidi is just not a believable character if you know what you’re talking about.

    How in the fuck is the x files not on it. You’re going to look me in the face and say lost is better than the x files.

    “Sorry, I just love cliffhangers that have no purpose other than to add commercial breaks and then not actually pay off.”

    You’re going to tell me friends, the show that wrote the book for basic ass misunderstanding sitcoms is better than the x files.

    I better just have missed it, or this world really is fucked.

    Also what about ER? And SVU? Just the Robin Williams episode alone should be at like #14.

    And wasn’t MASH the most watched show ever at one point?

    At least Chernobyl is right where it belongs.

        Am I the only one convinced a more Arya-centric GoT would have done better?

    Stranger Things should not be that high

    • jacksilver@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Same with Game of Thrones. For a plot driven show, the inability to stick the landing is a huge negative for me. Same reason why Lost is such a terrible show.

        Game of thrones and lost are terrible for.wildly different reasons tho.

    Just a lot of recency bias here.

  • finalaccountforreal@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    The Wire, Dark and Twin Peaks should be much higher.

    • bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      The Wire is in the top 10 though?

      source
      • finalaccountforreal@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Should be higher, still 😉

    what platform is the very right hand side column?

    source
    • Kolrami@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      IMDb votes

      I think it’s the amount of votes each show has. So having a high rank just means a lot of people had an opinion whether good or bad.

      I think the following link should have the same results. www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=tv_series&s…

      Most of this is fairly recent, and I think it’s all available to stream pretty easily.

    Where is Red Dwarf and Black Adder? Or is these just American series?

      Fawlty Towers? Monty Python’s Flying Circus? Firefly? Brooklyn 99? Farscape?

    IMDB rates Bojack Horseman as number 1 show, yet it hasn’t made this list.

  • ivanafterall@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Deadwood at #37 immediately invalidates all underlying data.

    source
  • Kben@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I think Curb your enthusiasm should be somewhere on that list,no other show has had me laughing so hard my stomach hurts.

    Hard agree on Breaking Bad. It fits together like a puzzle. It gets better the longer you watch. The climactic episodes are some of the best TV ever made.

    Battlestar Galactica is not better than Deadwood. I will die on this hill.
