Have there been any actually great TV shows in the last ten years?

[Chubby's Cheesesteaks]

I swear every show I've tried to give a chance to has been complete shite or mediocre at best. There's no way most critics aren't paid off by Netflix/Apple/Amazon to give the torrent of complete ass that's been put out over the last decade positive reviews.

I liked The Lincoln Lawyer. Goliath was good. I Think You Should Leave is funny if you like absurdity
Alright punching out.

The Dark Crystal sequel series, Age Of Resistance.

A curse upon Netflix for not only cancelling it, but also destroying the puppets & sets and hanging on to the IP so no-one else can continue it on-screen until or unless they say so. The story is consigned to rubbish books, comics & games indefinitely, now.



What I love about it is how it's much darker, bleaker and more messed-up than some assume or give credit. not afraid to venture into big complicated uncomfortable themes. At root, it was about an organised authoritarian-ordered genocide, that must have an unhappy ending if the prequel/original movie still makes sense as canon. Not a kids' show, even if it does have cute elfy puppets living in a hippy fantasy land.

Seladon is my favourite character, she's completely insane and she had her reasons.

There was that reality show where a man opened his front door every morning, and was welcomed by a tall hispanic man.............and a kiss

 

[johnnynoname]

that's actually not a reality show


it's what I hope starts happening starting tomorrow

 

[Princess Alena 2]

I like Severance a lot.

I really liked Chernobyl that Jared Harris is a hell of an actor

 

[LingerLonger]

White Lotus, Righteous Gemstones, Barry, Mare of Easttown, Sharp Objects, Chernobyl, Black Sails, Ozark.

I wouldn't say any of them are close to being as good as The Sopranos. But those are the only 'great' shows of the last decade I can think of. Television is usually 99% trash with one or two good shows per year. And usually those good shows are on HBO and no other network ever makes anything of quality. Apple and Amazon are spending billions making forgettable slop after slop.

Easy to be a good show when it's only 5 episodes. If they had to stretch it out over several seasons, it would inevitably suck.

Good pacing and knowing when to end a series are lost arts

Can you folks really sit through a series anymore, so much filler episodes that do nothing

 

[NortheastPhilly]

Nathan For You legit one of the funniest shows ever

 

[TheNanaDook]

Twin peaks season 3. Also, The Devil’s Hour was decent

 

[Leeeavings]

Chernobyl is the only one I consider great, and it’s more of a miniseries or long ass movie.

 

[Nigger John]

Try 20

 

[Jenna]

Suck Session was pretty damn good. The only episode that felt forced was the lame "republicans bad" election one.

 

[Lucky Buddha Beer]

Enjoyed white lotus. Second season lesser so.

 

[AwfulManTitTankTop]
