Bryan Cranston earned "living legend" status from this massive show that is about everything.
- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Earned every bit of it's reputation. A story so vast, it barely fits in eight seasons.
- CreatorDavid ChaseStarsJames GandolfiniLorraine BraccoEdie FalcoNew Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano deals with personal and professional issues in his home and business life that affect his mental state, leading him to seek professional psychiatric counseling.A surprisingly emotional and intelligent take on the gangster saga.

- CreatorPeter BergStarsKyle ChandlerConnie BrittonZach GilfordA drama that follows the lives of the Dillon Panthers, one of the nation's best high school football teams, and their head coach Eric Taylor.This hooked me in the first episode and never lost me through all five seasons. Your life will be better for watching Coach Taylor and his teams train for life.
- CreatorPhoebe Waller-BridgeStarsPhoebe Waller-BridgeSian CliffordOlivia ColmanSeries adapted from the award-winning play about a young woman trying to cope with life in London whilst coming to terms with a recent tragedy.Funny, wacky, human, and very, very funny. Disappointing only in that it's so short!

- CreatorJemaine ClementStarsKayvan NovakMatt BerryNatasia DemetriouA look into the nightly lives of four vampires who have lived together on Staten Island for over a century.It’s The Office with awkward vampires and lol funny from start to finish. Some have called it “the best show on television”. It’s hard to argue.
- CreatorChristopher StorerStarsJeremy Allen WhiteEbon Moss-BachrachAyo EdebiriA young chef from the fine dining world returns to Chicago to run his family's sandwich shop.A one-of-a-kind series that turns a commercial kitchen into an action setting. Deeply felt, cleverly written, and acted with heart, The Bear captured me immediately and held me all the way through.
- CreatorTaylor SheridanStarsTim McGrawSam ElliottFaith HillThe post-Civil war generation of the Dutton family travels to Texas, and joins a wagon train undertaking the arduous journey west to Oregon, before settling in Montana to establish what would eventually become the Yellowstone Ranch.I cannot resist anything Taylor Sheridan writes. 1883 ranks with Hell Or High Water among my favorites of his work. If the opening scene doesn't grab you, this may not be your genre.
- CreatorDan LevyEugene LevyStarsEugene LevyCatherine O'HaraDan LevyAfter being a victim of fraud, Johnny Rose and his family go from extremely wealthy to penniless overnight. The only asset left to them is a small, unsophisticated town: Schitt's Creek. They relocate there. Culture shock ensues.The show that snuck up on the world after it wrapped.

A one of kind narrative with abundant artistic integrity. Dark, compelling and full of surprises, Mr. Robot delivers its own brand of timely, thought provoking entertainment every episode. Season 3 Ep 5, I can't even...

Skoden!
- CreatorShawn RyanStarsMichael ChiklisCatherine DentWalton GogginsDrama series following the lives and cases of dirty cop Vic Mackey and the corrupt LAPD unit under his command.Not quite on the level of The Sopranos, but Vic Mackey is the bad cop that you find yourself pulling for.
- CreatorGreg DanielsMichael SchurStarsAmy PoehlerJim O'HeirNick OffermanThe absurd antics of an Indiana town's public officials as they pursue sundry projects to make their city a better place.Parks and Rec competes at the top of my list for "favorite show ever". Funny, funny, funny, and heartwarming. And, introducing Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt!
- CreatorGreg DanielsRicky GervaisStephen MerchantStarsSteve CarellJenna FischerJohn KrasinskiA mockumentary on a group of typical office workers, where the workday consists of ego clashes, inappropriate behavior, tedium and romance.What's to be said about the achievement the Office represents? Michael Scott, Dwight, Jim & Pam, Andy, they live in my head. "Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica!"
- CreatorDan EricksonStarsAdam ScottZach CherryBritt LowerMark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.As high concept as high concept can get!

- CreatorDavid E. KelleyStarsReese WitherspoonNicole KidmanShailene WoodleyThe apparently-perfect lives of upper-class mothers of students at a prestigious elementary school unravel to the point of murder when a single mother moves to their quaint California beach town.This one should be on everybody’s list. Brilliantly written and acted with an unstoppable cast.
- CreatorSam LevinsonStarsZendayaHunter SchaferJacob ElordiA look at life for a group of high school students as they grapple with issues of drugs, sex, and violence.Euphoria will reach out and grab you by the soul. Zendaya and Hunter Schafer sizzle and the writing is off the chain.
- DirectorBo BurnhamStarsBo BurnhamA musical comedy special shot and performed by Bo Burnham, alone, over the course of a very unusual year.Absolute, one of a kind comedy special focused on the experience of being quarantined in the pandemic from the talent of Bo Burnham that is a masterpiece of performance, production, and editing.
- CreatorHugh DillonTaylor SheridanStarsJeremy RennerHugh DillonTobi BamtefaThe McLusky family are power brokers tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry.
- CreatorAlec BergBill HaderStarsBill HaderStephen RootSarah GoldbergA hit man from the Midwest moves to Los Angeles and gets caught up in the city's theatre arts scene.This show brings legit action thriller together with situation comedy and a cast of memorable characters to create something really special. Bill Hader is brilliant.
- StarsJack O'ConnellMichelle DockeryScoot McNairyIn the 1880s American West, murderous outlaw gang leader Frank Griffin hunts for ex-protege Roy Goode. Frank's chase leads him to La Belle, New Mexico--a town inhabited, after a mining disaster, almost entirely by women.Maybe the best western TV Series I've ever seen (and yes I’d include Yellowstone).
- CreatorJenji KohanStarsTaylor SchillingDanielle BrooksTaryn ManningConvicted of a decade-old crime of transporting drug money, ordinarily law-abiding Piper Chapman is sentenced to 18 months behind bars and quickly discovers the realities of life-changing prison time.Comedy, drama, and social commentary about the injustices of the US prison system. The drama hits hard and the comedy is wacky and occasionally repulsive.
- CreatorAmy Sherman-PalladinoStarsRachel BrosnahanAlex BorsteinMichael ZegenAfter her husband leaves her, young mother of two Miriam "Midge" Maisel discovers that she has a talent for stand-up comedy. Could this be her calling?Un. Stoppable. A statement of the premise does no justice to the greatness that emerges from the this series' writing and acting.
