theacademy: TV of the Decade

theacademy 12.03.19	im not writing as much as he did, but bojack has, improbably (given all biases against animation and against recent offerings when compared to the all-time greats), become my favorite show as well.
blastOFFitsPARTYtime 12.03.19	Are we having fun yet?
theacademy 12.03.19	thats an RDD
Rowan5215 12.03.19	lmao at Rick and Morty s3. good list otherwise. and Season 5 is obviously my favourite season of Buffy at least get ur insults right
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.19	venture bros>>>>>>>>>>bojack
theacademy 12.03.19	youre a trio apologist!
foxblood 12.03.19	the animation for Bojack is so bad, venture bros is def better
MrSirLordGentleman 12.03.19	The Americans
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.19	ppl fuckin always b like tHe AmErIcAnS fuck off with that shit im never gonna watch it leave me alone
Source 12.03.19	fringe was great. miss that show
aydross121 12.03.19	Twin Peaks is at least better than Better Call Saul.
MrSirLordGentleman 12.03.19	"ppl fuckin always b like" don't know potsy, I think it wasn't that big of a hit for it to has tons of people recommending it
MrSirLordGentleman 12.03.19	"Twin Peaks is at least better than Better Call Saul." both rule for totally different reasons
aydross121 12.03.19	Fargo was pretty great too.
aydross121 12.03.19	Actually does weeb stuff count too? Cause Hunter x Hunter is better than anything here.
MrSirLordGentleman 12.03.19	Lol if we count anime the list would need to be waaaaaaaaaay bigger
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.19	"don't know potsy, I think it wasn't that big of a hit for it to has tons of people recommending it" LEAVE ME ALOONE
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.19	if we count anime this list would be the exact same size
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.19	cant think of a single anime worth a shit from this decade
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.19	also re americans i only refuse to watch it because the first person to rec it to me was Klap so yeah never ever gonna watch it
MrSirLordGentleman 12.03.19	btw is klap still on this site? lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.19	i hope so because i want him to know that i will never watch the americans because of him
Gallantin 12.03.19	Season 1 of the Good Place is way better than season 2
theacademy 12.03.19	soft disagree
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.19	Lmao "soft disagree"
Gallantin 12.03.19	i stand alone
nightbringer 12.03.19	Also agree that Season 1 of The Good Place is its best season.
ElioG 12.03.19	Breaking Bad is badly overrated, I cannot even stand it till I reach season 5. The Americans is so fake, if it was a comedy it would be good. Twin Peaks is the shit.
Gallantin 12.03.19	Lol do you exist solely to have the most pretentious opinions
Deviant. 12.03.19	"Fringe, Season 3" My boy
IAmScott 12.03.19	I was one season away from watching Fringe when they took it off Netflix. Now i need to start over and find someone with Prime
Gallantin 12.03.19	Just get a free month of Prime and watch it that way
Aerisavion 12.03.19	HANNIBAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL
RogueNine 12.03.19	Good call on 7, haven't seen the rest of the show for the reason you mentioned.
Slex 12.03.19	Mendolsohn really is somethin special in Bloodline, must admit
ElioG 12.03.19	True Detective - Season 3 Chernobyl - Season 1 The Night Of - Season 1 The Bridge (Danish-Swedish) - All seasons Broadchurch - Season 1 Fleabag- Season 1 Fringe - Season 3 Fargo - Season 1 Top of the Lake - Season 1 Twin Peaks - Season 3 Bojack Horseman - Season 4 Game of Thrones - Season 6 @Gallantin - I have no idea mate, probably my opinions are pretentious but definitely they are opinions.
SgtPepper 12.03.19	people just do nothing
Slex 12.03.19	I know, the thought that someone has watched 10 tv shows in 10 years is preposterous! I was born in the wrong generation : (
frozencarl 12.03.19	i'm looking on Prime and don't see Fringe...what is up with that cuz i only had 1 season to go when they took it off netflix and i wanna finish >: )
ElioG 12.03.19	Is Bloodline so good as they say? Just finished The Wire for third time and I want to watch something before watching Oz for second time.
JokineAugustus 12.03.19	Hannibal season 2 easily my number 1. The Expanse season 3 number 2.
IAmScott 12.03.19	"Just get a free month of Prime and watch it that way" Gotta start from the beginning now tho = so it'd probably be longer than that, and then the same thing will happen again lol
Assemblage 12.03.19	Nice props for Bloodline S1. I still got some pretty good enjoyment out of S2 but 1 had some serious intense drama unfolding. Am from the area so even the establishing shots in the show were a treat. I don't watch all too much episodic television, but I think Ozark would fit nicely here. Waiting on that Season 3 as well.
JeetJeet 12.03.19	"Is Bloodline so good as they say?" Well the first season is. Watch that one and pretend the show ends there.
Pangea 12.03.19	1 and 2 are 1 and 2 agreed
RogueNine 12.03.19	Woah SgtPepper sighting.
Yotimi 12.03.19	Fringe was one of the last great network tv shows I'm down with most of this list and at least buffy s7 isn't his fav
JoeTex 12.03.19	karate kid f is for family mindhunter longmire glow s1 oa
MrSirLordGentleman 12.03.19	F is for Family is really overlooked. Great show
ElioG 12.03.19	Mindhunter was so mediocre. Fincher tried to copy that Zodiac recipe, providing something bland.
conesmoke 12.03.19	TiL venture bros is a thing
JoeTex 12.04.19	"Mindhunter was so mediocre" definitely a slow burner. great performance by whoever that was who played kemper
Gyromania 12.04.19	Rly pumped to see Bojack season 4, heard a lot of good things + it tops your list and ofc you're a man of impeccable style and taste. Nice to see BB S5 at #2, same spot on my list
Gyromania 12.04.19	Also Rick & Morty s3 is the clear best, idk why people think it's the worst
Ryus 12.04.19	breaking bad season 5 is my number one and its not particularly close. basic pick but that shit was enthralling
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.19	Lol OA
Gyromania 12.04.19	Yea Breaking Bad in general is just untouchable imo. All 5 seasons are superb the whole way through, can't say that for like 99% of tv series
MrSirLordGentleman 12.04.19	"Lol OA" I wanted to believe in it but the ending of the first season was so bad it was almost disrespectful
JokineAugustus 12.04.19	Mindhunter season 1 was great. Season 2 though...
aydross121 12.04.19	Mindhunter I thought was good but the main character is so bland and his gf sucks too.
polyrhythm 12.04.19	Twin Peaks S3 wins, but also DARK S1 Hannibal S2 Rick and Morty S2 Bojack S4 True Detective S1 The Good Place S2 Mr Robot S3 (also S4, but it ain't quite finished yet)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.19	@mrsirlord yeah season 1 was so cringe especially that finale. S2 is much better but still not spectacular
Gallantin 12.04.19	Mindhunter is wonderful. Cannot wait for the next season. Breaking Bad was the best show on TV, but then Better Call Saul happened and somehow managed to eclipse it. Those shows are so lean and perfect, I can barely fault either of them.
Gallantin 12.04.19	Season 2 of Mindhunter was better than season 1 by a mile, but both are fantastic.
wutang4ever 12.04.19	Wu-Tang Saga on Hulu is def best thing I seen in years, RZA did a great job of creating that
Gallantin 12.04.19	ElioG shouldn't be allowed to have opinions on TV or film. His taste is peak straight white guy.
zaruyache 12.04.19	"TiL venture bros is a thing" and a v good thing at that also fox yeah but nobody watches Bojack for the animation ya doof it's the writing that is A+ when it's at its best.
MrSirLordGentleman 12.04.19	"S2 is much better but still not spectacular" worth watching tho?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.19	Honestly if you were rooting for OA to be good during season 1 and were let down, then yes, it is actually
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.19	It'll make you feel better
Prancer 12.04.19	mr robot has been phenomenal, and the first 2 westworld seasons were great. breaking bad season 4/5 and true detective season 1 are the pinnacle for me.
Faraudo 12.04.19	Finally some love for Mr. Robot! Season 4 has been peak TV so far.
JeetJeet 12.04.19	Yea s4 of Mr Robot is incredible. Top 5 show of the decade for me.
Faraudo 12.04.19	Agreed, wasn't really sure, but after S4 I think it's in my top 5 as well.
GhostB1rd 12.04.19	Man y'all really love American Vandal.
ElioG 12.04.19	"ElioG shouldn't be allowed to have opinions on TV or film. His taste is peak straight white guy." I blame your acne mate, i would give you a hug if you were here lol. If you really think that "both Mindhunter are fantastic" and BB was the best show on TV then... i respect your opinion but it's so narrow-scope that i suppose u are 20 years old or something.
Gallantin 12.04.19	I don't respect your opinions, weirdo
ElioG 12.04.19	So you are 20 years old. I rest my case.
Gallantin 12.04.19	16 actually
ElioG 12.04.19	Ok mate. The only thing i say is just leave all those "garbage", "fantastic", best ever" behind you and don't judge people so easily. I obviously disagree with many of your opinions but i respect them. I also respect your passion about good tv and films. I wish all 16 years-old of the world have seen The Wire and have an opinion on what they've watched. Don't let me be misunderstood, i don't claim my taste is better than yours.
Gallantin 12.04.19	Your taste sucks and so do your thoughts on quick judgements and flash phrases
ElioG 12.04.19	Ok, I guess u have to go to school, masturbate and stuff. Don't forget, when you turn off the tv, u can use it as a mirror.
polyrhythm 12.04.19	How about that last Mr Robot episode? In fact, how about the last five? Fuck me man
Rowan5215 12.04.19	Elliot/Tyrell ep and Vera/Krista ep are undoubtedly two of the greatest, if not the two greatest in the show
polyrhythm 12.04.19	I hope that isn't it for Tyrell. If it was, that was such a squandered character. He's had almost nothing to do since S1
theacademy 12.04.19	im not reading the few above bc im not current on this season of mr r! (which is actually the only thing that stopped me from putting it on this list!)
Rowan5215 12.04.19	@poly I kind of love that Tyrell has had nothing to do, because he was such a self-serving prick with delusions of godhood and the show made it continually clear how impotent and useless he was (down to literally taking him out of narrative for almost two seasons) I also can't see what else he could bring to the table in the remaining four (!) eps
Rowan5215 12.04.19	whoops yeah big spoilers here acad tread lightly
zakalwe 12.04.19	In all honesty the best thing on tele this decade has been landscape artist of the year.
polyrhythm 12.04.19	Tyrell's handling might have cleverly subverted his messianic delusions, as well as the audience's expectations of him, but that doesn't make it satisfying.
JoeTex 12.04.19	"OA" yep was joking about that one. the red herring Did get a chuckle out of that dance tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.04.19	Just started Dark. Didnt finish the first episode but I'm not INSTANTANEOUSLY captivated
Yotimi 12.04.19	It's a slow burn for sure. Completely engrossing in time though
theacademy 12.04.19	i unironically liked the OA and kind of a shame bc the second season ending coulda set up some cool shit
theacademy 12.04.19	(not best of decade tho)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.05.19	I unironically think season 2 of the OA was an exponential improvement and agree that it coulda set up some cool shit but s1 just wow what the fuck
zaruyache 12.05.19	s1 was fine but the ending was goofy, s2 was really good tho agreed. Shame netflix dumped a bunch of shows just so the GoT bois could have more playthings.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.05.19	at least we now know we can end school shootings through interpretive dance
GhostB1rd 12.05.19	I wanna know what became of the D&D confederacy show for HBO.
GhostB1rd 12.05.19	Think of the hot takes!
Faraudo 12.05.19	"How about that last Mr Robot episode? In fact, how about the last five? Fuck me man" It's been an emotional rollercoaster for me tbh, a non-stop thriller at its finest. Also, lets just talk about how episode 7 is the best thing thats happened to TV this year. That 5 act structure really worked marvels, and the final, devastating reveal made me respect Sam Esmail a whole lot more as a story teller and Rami Malek as an actor.
Chambered79 12.05.19	True detective season one
klap 12.06.19	Potsy congrats...u played yourself
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.06.19	i'll never know if thats true
budgie 12.06.19	sht up pots
GhostB1rd 12.06.19	Fuck you budgie.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.06.19	say it don't regurgitate it bird-brain
budgie 12.06.19	bluegurguUHRGUHRGg
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.06.19	i just realized that u guys are both birds
GhostB1rd 12.06.19	And I'M the dumb one?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.06.19	My mind was too preoccupied with other more pressing intellectual ideas that you couldnt comprehend to notice such a trite similarity between two dullards
budgie 12.06.19	intellectual ideas boys what out
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.06.19	I was thinking about inventing lightning, you wouldnt understand.
GhostB1rd 12.06.19	You know, Americans did that in 1778.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.06.19	i did it in 1777. i was reminiscing
budgie 12.06.19	ppl like ghostbird are why us americans are embarrassed to be american
GhostB1rd 12.06.19	Go cry about America sucking to your midget family.
budgie 12.06.19	i dont cry because im not a bitch ghostb1rd
GhostB1rd 12.06.19	You dispute being a bitch, but not a midget. Noted.
budgie 12.06.19	i dont have to bring up my height in conversation because im not a pathetic cunt with a massive chip on my shoulder. have fun with your bullshit hope you can figure it out at some point
GhostB1rd 12.06.19	Do you have a proportionally tiny chip on your shoulder?
JeetJeet 12.06.19	lol yall wild
Rice303 12.06.19	I think my picks would include Counterpart S2 Barry S2 Quarry S1 (Too bad this was cancelled) Westworld S1 Person Of Interest S5 Succession S2 Been an amazing and completely transformative decade for television
DDDeftoneDDD 12.06.19	Big Brother
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.06.19	"i dont have to bring up my height in conversation because im not a pathetic cunt with a massive chip on my shoulder." the most debatable thing i've ever read
JokineAugustus 12.07.19	Has no one seen Dark?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.07.19	ive seen half an episode
JokineAugustus 12.07.19	Not your thing?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.07.19	i was sleepy and there were so many angry germans
GhostB1rd 12.07.19	Famous last words of a Jew.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.07.19	fuckin nazi yeti
Yotimi 12.07.19	Yeah dark is definitely not for sleepy time viewing. Probably the most intricately woven storyline I've ever seen
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.07.19	I'm sure I'll end up loving it, just seems like its gonna take some getting into
Yotimi 12.07.19	Yeah it requires a little work. Doesn't dumb itself down for any sort of mass appeal
polyrhythm 12.08.19	DARK season 1 was gorgeous. It seemed almost impossible to follow up narratively, or in terms of quality. Season 2 was as good a continuation as anyone could have hoped for.
anarchistfish 01.04.20	fargo was the best show last decade
Lord(e)Po)))ts 01.04.20	Twin peaks return >(x1000)
JeetJeet 01.04.20	"fargo was the best show last decade" Fargo is everything I hoped True Detective post-s1 would be. Fun, dark, brutal as fuck, and well written.
anarchistfish 01.05.20	True detective was a real disappointment after having watched Fargo
hal1ax 01.05.20	ya fargo is way better than TD. super consistent too
Faraudo 01.05.20	Mr. Robot is better than most of the shows you guys have been mentioning for the past 20 comments or so.
Valkoor952 01.05.20	The lack of Fargo and True Detective on this list automatically disqualifies it.
JeetJeet 01.05.20	"Mr. Robot is better than most of the shows you guys have been mentioning for the past 20 comments or so" Show of the decade tbh
Valkoor952 01.05.20	Mr.Robot is complete garbage after Season 1
hal1ax 01.05.20	lol seasons 3 and 4 are the best. but particularly 4 tbh
JeetJeet 01.05.20	"Mr.Robot is complete garbage after Season 1" Congrats on having the worst take on this list
GhostB1rd 01.05.20	I still haven't finished Fargo S3 after I stopped at the cartoon episode.
GhostB1rd 01.05.20	Fwiw S2 of True Detective came on strong at the end and S3 was good throughout.
hal1ax 01.05.20	i didn't really like anything about TD s2 tbh. s3 was decent though.
Rowan5215 01.05.20	Mr Robot S2 is so goddamn underrated, its rep is gonna rise dramatically once people start rewatching the show imo
anarchistfish 01.05.20	I haven't watched Mr robot since S2 . Maybe sometime
hal1ax 01.05.20	how do you guys feel about hannibal? i started S1 a few days ago. pretty good so far
JeetJeet 01.05.20	Hannibal is pretty fuckin awesome. S2 is wild and s3 goes batshit crazy in the later episodes
adr 01.05.20	Hannibal is great and it got better after the first season yeah
GhostB1rd 01.05.20	Hannibal is okay. I know it's like poly's favorite show. Mads does a great job but too many characters make stupid decisions for my taste. Visually it's very striking, though.
GhostB1rd 01.05.20	I stopped watching after the S2 finale as well.
Faraudo 01.05.20	"Mr.Robot is complete garbage after Season 1" Yikes, terrible opinion. "lol seasons 3 and 4 are the best. but particularly 4 tbh" Season 4 is practically flawless tbh, there are at least 2 10/10 episodes on it. "how do you guys feel about hannibal? i started S1 a few days ago. pretty good so far" One of the best shows of the decade for me, Mads is the definitive Hannibal.
ItsTheSquirrel 01.05.20	New season of Bojack is so good
polyrhythm 01.06.20	"Mr.Robot is complete garbage after Season 1" I don't think Valkoor has ever had anything approaching a decent take about anything, so this comes as no surprise
polyrhythm 01.06.20	"Mads does a great job but too many characters make stupid decisions for my taste" I don't quite know how to defend the very unique characterisation & character motivations in Hannibal. I know the issues you have, as I had them myself at one point. All I can say is that how these characters think and act is completely verisimilar within that universe. Sounds like such a cop out, but this show plays by its own rules. These characters absolutely wouldn't make sense in our world, but that isn't what the show is going for. They make sense in their universe though. Hannibal is honestly some weird gothic opera urban fantasy shit that defies so many conventions, it really can only be taken on its own terms. Approach it with your usual tv sensibilities and you'll probably hate it. Either you are willing to suspend your disbelief (and so much else), or it ain't the show for you. I've never recommended a show so hard, while also giving so many disclaimers at the same time lmao
Valkoor952 01.07.20	"I don't think Valkoor has ever had anything approaching a decent take about anything, so this comes as no surprise" I'm sorry, do I know you
hal1ax 01.07.20	"Hannibal is honestly some weird gothic opera urban fantasy shit that defies so many conventions, it really can only be taken on its own terms." totally agree. well said.
outliers 01.07.20	Succession, better call Saul and Chernobyl all come to mind after BB Plot of succession may have been slow at times but god damn the acting was flawless
SaraSota 01.07.20	Season 3 of Bojack >>>>>>>
SaraSota 01.07.20	Also, to the idiot that said Venture Bros > Bojack, please end it. Your life just doesn't matter.
polyrhythm 01.07.20	"I'm sorry, do I know you" Perhaps not, but I sure know you... as the guy who invariably enters a thread with the least informed, most knee-jerk and knuckle-dragging take possible on the topic at hand. People often say even broke clocks are right twice a day, but god damn, we might have an exception here
hal1ax 01.07.20	is it just me or is scully hotter in hannibal than she was in x-files?
polyrhythm 01.07.20	Gillian Anderson has aged like fine wine
GhostB1rd 01.07.20	"even broke clocks are wrong twice a day" Whoops! And yes, Gillian is indisputably hotter now than when she was younger.
