Following on from this post. I now intend this to be a rolling thing, and invite people to submit their top 10 series to me in the comments here. From 17 voters so far, here are the current standings:

  1. Futurama 35
  2. The Simpsons 31
  3. Better Call Saul 25
  4. Breaking Bad 24
  5. The Wire 24
  6. Cowboy Bebop 22
  7. The Good Place 18
  8. Band of Brothers 17
  9. Severance 16
  10. Stranger Things 16
  11. The Expanse 15
  12. The Office (USA) 14
  13. Battlestar Galactica 12
  14. Community 12
  15. The West Wing 12
  16. Firefly 12
  17. Game of Thrones 11
  18. Friday Night Lights 11
  19. Babylon Berlin 10
  20. Dark 10

So anyone who hasn’t, list you top 10 favourite shows. Your 10th choice will give the show 1 point, your 9th will give it to 2 points etc with the 1st choice getting 10 points. Eurovision style.

    Honestly I’m surprised to see Better Call Saul higher than Breaking Bad (even if only barely). Both are 10/10 shows, but obviously one can’t exist without the other, so I have a hard time putting the sequel above.

    In terms of Simpsons being higher, it’s impossible to actually compare the two shows. But on a day to day basis I probably accidentally quote and think about The Simpsons all the time. Breaking Bad? Not so much. The Simpsons is a cultural phenomenon and it’s hard to just ignore that.

      Breaking bad was a practice run for better call Saul. Better call Saul is the masterpiece. It also mostly works as a standalone.

      Hard agree on the Simpsons though. I just pulled a “So I told the lady, your car was flipped over and on fire when we got here! And as for your mother, she shouldn’t have been mouthing off like that!”
