You're not a fan of The Wire?
Massively overrated. Boring and predictable number 1 pick in all top tv show lists. It's already comfortably won this and has 4x more votes than Chernobyl. 2x more than Band of Brothers. 3x more than Succession. Yikes.

This is very difficult. Also when you say favourite. Current favourite or ones that gave you the most enjoyment at the time but you wouldn't go back to. Like the Simpsons gave me years of entertainment, rewatching, quoting etc but I wouldn't really be bothered watching an episode now.

Blackadder is number 1 because I'll always watch it whenever it is on.

I may change the order of the below.

Black Adder
The Wire
The Sopranos
Stranger Things
Fargo
Spartacus
Game Of Thrones
True Detective
The Simpsons
South Park

And then you put The Simpsons as number 1. In a final. :lol:

Edit: That. That is bait.
No. It’s a fact. The Simpsons are the best show ever made. And yes, I’m wilfully ignoring every season after season 10.

Yep not wrong. It's obviously no longer the same show it was but those early seasons were so high quality that the cultural impact stands to this day. If it had ended there I think it would probably be my top of all time but the decline means it ended like 6th in my list I think.

Shouldn't BB go to 10th and the ones below all be bumped up a place? ;)

Not that I'm taking this way too seriously or anything...
Yeah, probably it should. But in hindsight, how could I ommit Breaking Bad? It is bloody brilliant. So seventh place is about right. Otherwise I would have to reshuffle the whole list which would take this way too seriously. :D

Normally I have bonus rounds (like the console exclusive round for the gaming version) but people on this iteration take things too serious so I thought I'd best I don't feck about :lol:

Have you heard about taste? You should consider acquiring some.

I think my top 5 is nailed on and the order of 6-10 would probably depend on my mood that day, too hard to pick. Also hard to leave out The Office and GoT but their final few seasons really let them down.

That knockout round proves we are in the worst timeline.

1. Black Mirror (this should not be on the list cuz each episode is unrelated to any others! Black Mirror may as well be a studio, they make 1 hour movies!)
2. Game Of Thrones
3. Futurama
4. The Simpsons
5. Twin Peaks
6. True Detective
7. Dark
8. Deadwood
9. Curb Your Enthusiasm
10. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

@Dirty Schwein switched #4 and #5.
