Started watching the leftovers and enjoying it so far. All thanks to the list.

- Thread starter Dirty Schwein

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I voted for the eventual winner so I have objectively good taste. Thank you for confirming what I had always suspected @Dirty Schwein
And that's what this is all about
@Dirty Schwein
Great job on the list! Predictable top 3 of course as those are the consensus picks everywhere and thankfully the right show won overall.
Definitely an English biased list, predictable with all the British and Americans here but we were missing some great non-English like The Bureau is better than most of the top 10 imo.

Any chance of a list of a few non-english shows? I know they were mentioned in earlier rounds and there was a lot i hadn't seen.
I'm back watching Rome again at the moment.
And thanks @Dirty Schwein this was fun
I watched all of Dark as I had no intention to otherwise. And I've decided to bite the bullet and also watch It's Always Sunny... Got through the first series. A bit meh compared to Community or Parks and Rec but I'm guessing (like with those two) it will get more better in later seasons.And that's what this is all about
Feck off if I'm watching Chernobyl, Mad Men or Deadwood though.
SpartacusI watched all of Dark as I had no intention to otherwise. And I've decided to bite the bullet and also watch It's Always Sunny... Got through the first series. A bit meh compared to Community or Parks and Rec but I'm guessing (like with those two) it will get more better in later seasons.

It was number 4 on my final list. I am Spartacus!
Tbf a lot gangster films are terrible .
This was great! Thank you @Dirty Schwein
I've always had hard time deciding which one is better, The Wire or Sopranos but now that Sopranos not winning it makes me feel a bit gutted says it all.
Both great shows.
Weird how people rate it as a master piece.
It's ok entertainment I guess but most storylines, characters and scenes are just fecking stupid, ridiculous and implausible. Like, how they took over the corners (just walked up there and started selling ffs), the crazy party days at Jessies house, the Fly episode when they build towers out if chairs to reach to a fly. Like, what kind of a clueless moron writes scripts like these?
Also it stinks of "hey look at us cool guys making this cool fecking show" very strongly
Sorry for the rant but BB is a shite series.

It might not be for you but it’s definitely not shite.
Well, if you compare it to Bold and Beautiful it's actually a pure gem.
My top would be The Bureau. Some of the best television I've seen and on par with the Top 5 of the list IMO. I love crime shows so Gomorrah and Romanzo Criminale would also be highly recommended. I'm also a big fan of wuxia-type period shows from Asia but I know not many in the West can get into those. Still, Nirvana in Fire is a top tier show as is Six Flying Dragons. There are some more that I'm forgetting as well.
Thanks!
I'll check them out

Fleabag! Now there's another great show, which I think never figured through this whole exercise?
Only me and one other voted for Avatar so I can only assume it’s due to people having not seen it. Because it’s superb.
