I'm curious how they made the list... It couldn't have been just some intern / writer putting down their top 100? There had to be some sort of stats involved no? Like number of people watching? Number of weekly watchers? Impact on online discussions? I don't see what state it could have been which would have ignored so many other shows.

Thumbs up for Reservation Dogs, but I’d have rated it higher.

There's only one show on that list where I've seen every single episode: Chernobyl. And that's only because it's a single, short season. I started others from that list and enjoyed them, but finishing them feels like such a big project.

I don't think I know anyone that would argue with Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and maybe The Wire (I don't know any of you contrarians) but the rest of the list just doesn't have nearly the writing quality. Which is really weird to think about. 3 shows (really 2, Better Call Saul is really Breaking Bad) that are exponentially better than the rest.

Edit: I mean White Lotus is on there. I couldn't finish the first season. It wasn't dark or witty. It was just rich people being rich people.

I've tried to watch BB 3 separate times and just could not get into it. I recognize I'm in the minority here and that taste is subjective. But I genuinely did not like it without just being contrary for the sake of it.

I would say you believe this for two main reasons. One, those are some of the shows that you watched and are familiar with, and you've seen spectacularly little of what is actually on that list.

And two, your own subjective experience is dictating what you feel is better versus what is worse, which is ultimately a completely useless way to estimate how good something actually is.

Furthermore, lists like this are intentionally inflammatory. They'll put several genuinely good entries way too low on the list specifically so people will argue about it and drive engagement.

I mean, Westworld didn't even make the cut but Scandal did.

Fake top 100 for sure. Op made it because he watched this series and wants to brag about it.
Where at IT Crowd, Seinfeld and Person of Interest? But yea, let add only American series!

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.

So many shows are way too high on the list. 30 rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Atlanta, The Office (US), Girls... all really good shows but definitely not top 20. It's stupid to argue if a show is top 40 of top 70 but it's fairly easy to tell if a show is "one of the best of the century" and those are not. Adolescence, True Detective, Band of Brothers or Black Mirror set new standards. Those shows were good but far from "best".

Office UK is better than Office US.

Suck it family guy/simpsons for surviving shows.

I really like that The OA got on the list.

Almost no one I know has even heard of it.

[–] bunkyprewster@startrek.website 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I loved OA and still think about it a lot.

I wouldn’t put Breaking Bad over The Wire.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The Wire is, without a doubt, the best written show in television history. If anyone hasn't seen it, you have to see it.
