Hey, look at Roger Ebert. He was great doing the same thing with movies (and sometimes TV, I think, probably).

Not yet, but I'll take that under advisement. I've seen like three episodes, and I'm surprised to hear it's gotten so good.

Yeah, understandable. I loved it (no pun intended), and thoroughly enough that it was one of the few shows that I just couldn't wait to keep watching. But I could see how there would be at least ten shows deserving the spots.

Alright, I've done enough questioning of the picks. Here's my ten list, thought of quickly and quietly.

That is a strong clip. I like the setup, and the interplay between the characters is strong, but the depth is just not there in the way that it is for so many other series. For example, The Last Man on Earth is much better suited to this kind of list. That show is a work of art sometimes, and this show… That clip is…

The Good Place is still in the top ten? AM I IN CRAZY WORLD HERE? Seriously, I'm more baffled now than before wondering how it got in the top thirty.

Oh man, I love Mike Heck, and he's so in the background of the show that he's easy to miss as the foundation of much that happens, tonally and sort of energetically. I haven't been keeping up with the show since mid-last year, but I really want to get back into it now that you've suggested it kept going strong. I…

Also, the way The Americans worked their shit this year was amazing. That EST stuff near the end was some of the most beautifully melancholy television I've seen in a while. I would easily put it over Atlanta and OJ, but in any case, this was definitely a fun read.

The Good Place is strange. I watched the first three or four episodes and thought it was mediocre at best with an interesting concept. I would take The Goldbergs or The Middle far over that show, and I was sort of shocked to see it land so high on the list. Does it get a lot better (like, transformation better)? I see…

"Literally" lol, but just majestic, beautiful stuff.

Yeah, but you should check out the shots. Superman in the fawning crowd is literally one of the greatest shots of this century, in BvS.

Oh okay, yeah, it's ridiculous. Every time someone says, "Drake sucks," I'm like, really? I used to be equally reflexive ("Lil' Wayne sucks!"), so I know where it comes from, but it's annoying even so.

Oh true, sorry for the rude comment lol, and the style is CWish. Is CW Fox?

". . . or even one of those folks that mulled it over for a few months and then somehow decided the entire experience of watching the show had been worthless." Great summary of "That ruined the whole series."

Oh man, when I rewatch Simpsons episodes from the first however many seasons, I'm frequently overjoyed at how hilarious it is. They had such, such hard-hitting humor, and such great depth. It was great, truly, on the level of Mad Men for its goals of being funny and sad.

Yeah, I was like, the CW? It seems like a CW show, though. Good stuff, and it feels like the fun parts of a low-rent movie, which is a charm in itself, but not the most deeply felt show.

I gotcha on Breaking Bad, but having rewatched episodes, it's actually better the second time through. I had no idea the spiritual and emotional undercurrent (or the depth of it) there beneath almost everything when I was just gobbling down plotlines the first time through. It's like crystal, just solid beauty and…

"Well, we didn't like it then, either! But now…"

Oh, I didn't know anything was missing (though, of course, it stands to reason that there might be). Thanks for the heads up. It's also harder to follow, I'd imagine, just listening, or it has been for me, in terms of registering which characters are speaking and their relationship on stage.

Am I the one shitting? I read the other comment and wondered why it was in vogue to consider Immortal Technique a lesser rapper.
