    I’m sirprised Scrubs, Monk, Lucifer, Dark etc. didnt’t make the list but allegedly a TV show called PEN15 did?

    It's a mediocre list for sure.

    1. Shogun is too low.
    2. Babylon Berlin is missing.
    3. Lost? Really?
    4. Band of Brothers is too low.
    5. Better Call Saul is too low.
    6. Severance is too low.
    7. Watchmen is too low.
    8. Barry is too low.
    9. Eastbound and Down but no Vice Principals is crazy.
    10. Community is too low.

    Hey, we're only 1/4 through the 21st century so far. It's too early to call it. The Grapes of Wrath reboot doesn't come out until 2040!

    I've haven't seen the vast majority of these so I can't speak for their quality.

    Some I've started but haven't finished and the quality varies drastically.

    I've only seen four of these to completion (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Mare of Easttown and Baby Reindeer) only two of which (Breaking Bad and Mad Men) I would recommend.

    But the biggest questions on my mind: why would you compile such a list when there's still 8 decades left in this century? Will television as a medium still exit in 2101?

    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.

    No anime on the list means they're just uncultured.

    List compiled by an utter moron. Entirely missing (among others) and vastly superior to most on the list:

    • The Expanse
    • After Life
    • Sex Education
    • Firefly
    • IT Crowd

    Also, despite being controversial, probably worth mentioning:

    • South Park
    • The Walking Dead
    • Z-Nation (imo much better than TWD)

    What's controversial about The Walking Dead? (I only saw the first season).

    The torture porn for Season 7 first episode. The show went from splatter / hack & slash to a breach of the psychological contract between film makers and the audience. Instead of cutting away for the ultra violence, they stayed fully on it, turning this franchise from a zombie splatter movie into sadistic torture porn, with the sadism directed at the unsuspecting viewers.

    I was able to skip past one of those sections because it was telegraphed in the previous season's ending, but the next one was intentionally designed to catch the audience unaware and was ultra explicit. I did not want to see this and I never consented to this kind of sadistic fucked up shit to be broadcast onto my screen.

    Fuck the makers of that franchise, fuck AMC and fuck everyone involved in that decision for all eternity.

    Edit: Be grateful that you didn't have to watch that.

    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?

    So apparently, the 21st Century is already over, and pretty much every good show is made in English. Got it.

    What is this list based on?

    Where the fuck is Dark?

    Dark not in a top 100 is how you know the curator does not actually watch TV
