A NEW GAME BEGINS
https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/...10s/full-post/
Let’s consider, for a moment, Jesse Pinkman. The 2010s saw a whole new era of television ushered in, a swell in programming so immense it’s difficult to comprehend. Want to feel old? FX’s John Landgraf coined the phrase “Peak TV” in 2015, when the total number of scripted shows on television was a whopping 422. Quaint, isn’t it? Now we’re not only up by dozens and dozens of series, but multiple new networks—two new streaming services in this month alone—and there’s no end in sight. And in there was Jesse Pinkman, the “yeah, bitch” guy. A walking GIF factory.
He was always more than that, of course. As played by Aaron Paul, Jesse sums up the best of what this decade of television has to offer, a messy, contradictory human being who was “Yeah, bitch! Magnets!” one moment and a guy playing peekabo with the criminally neglected child of two meth addicts the next. He got his ending, and a bonus besides, rounding out the decade with the Breaking Bad coda El Camino, arriving not on AMC but on Netflix. A genre-, emotion-, and network-jumping force. A great character in a great series, a meme and a marvel. Not every excellent character, nor show, in the 2010s found an audience, but viewers had more terrific options than they’d ever had before, and sometimes all it took was one big moment—one “yeah bitch,” one ATM to the face—to break through.
These 100 shows did, in spite of all the noise. They are daring and familiar, polished and wild. Some began before the decade did—our rule of thumb, for the curious, was that a series had to air at least half its episodes after January 1, 2010—while others are just getting started. But all caught our attention, not just for one GIF, but for hours of challenging viewing, enjoyable escape, or both. We’ve not yet seen Peak TV’s peak, and yeah, we’re overwhelmed and exhausted—but we’re grateful for all the incredible art, all the same. Dasvidaniya, 2010s—and thanks for the memories, Jesse.

Absolutely. By a mile. It's possibly one of the best series of all time.
is this one of those times where you're talking out of your butt
I was legit irate, but then I realized this was a joke list. Bob's Burgers better than Black Mirror, Game of Thrones, Fargo, Mindhunter? Lmao.
Westworld at 88 and Jessica Jones at 50 something. Sureeee broooooooo
Not a chance. Its good but I gave up after the same thing every season. Breaking Bad? COULD NOT WAIT for each weeks episode.

I started Breaking Bad when season 3 was almost finishing. Everyone bitched at me, "this show is right up your alley." I finally started to watch it and no doubt became the second best show of all time for me, perhaps the best show of all time. Deadwood is still my favorite. Anyway, I couldn't wait for this show to air, and like The Office and Seinfeld, this show was talked about everywhere you went. Yes I truly enjoyed The Americans, but not in the top 10 for me. I will say I was surprised to see Hannibal up so high.....I did love this show.Not a chance. Its good but I gave up after the same thing every season. Breaking Bad? COULD NOT WAIT for each weeks episode.

I could never really get into breaking bad, it might just be that I don't like stories about drugs? I mean the show is put together really well, but I couldn't help but fall asleep a few times. Does it get better after season 1?
Talking out of butts?is this one of those times where you're talking out of your butt
Season 1 wasn't bad for me, but yes, I found it really got going in Season 2.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
The show in general is constantly in an upward trajectory. Season 1 is Ok, but seasons 3-5 are God tier television.
Everyone knows how much I love The Americans. I feel it's one of those shows that more people should be discovering.
That said, it's not better than Breaking Bad. It is most certainly in my top 10 though.

Great news! I really enjoyed the first season and have been wanting more.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Try cutting back on the Quaaludes or move a little further away from the chloroform factory.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Servant. Hulu popped out three episodes. I thought the acting was great, everything going on flowed well, and several wtf moments. I was very surprised how much I have enjoyed the show thus far. Also, M Night is not the writer or creator, I thought he was? Regardless, overall I like where this is going. The other cool thing is that Ron Weasley is alive and doing well

I was looking at him, and he looked familiar. I was pretty sure but I had to look up the cast to verify it. I doubt any of those long standing characters from Harry Potter need to ever work again, but it is nice to see them not type casted and allegedly doing well.Agree.

So, Lost in Space Season 2 just dropped on Netflix. This was on my radar for a while, but then fell off it, so this was a complete surprise.
I have to say, despite mixed reviews, I liked Season 1 just fine. Family friendly, some smart ideas, and nice nods to the original 60s series while still being its own thing. Looking forward to slow-binge-watching Season 2.

I didn't get into the first season at all. I did watch the second season with low expectations, and those low expectations were followed by more disappointment. Sorry, this reboot to me was a slow crawl to get to the main storyline.

I read the books, and no they are not completed, uh oh! There are seven of them though. The first season is a combination of two books that were short stories. The creator of the show wanted three main characters so we get that from Geralt, Ciri, and Yennifer. They all met different in the books, which isn't crucial to the show or the story. The show jumps around some with time lines, so if you never read the books you may get a little confused with how the episodes jump around some. Overall I felt the show was great. The singular fight scenes with Geralt were fantastic and better then most sword fighting sequences. The magic was abundant and very impressive. The cinematography was great as was the scenery. Sometimes the monster's cgi was a little off, but serviceable. Throw in an adult theme, adult vocabulary, nice character development, brutal fight scenes, and a lot of nudity and you have one hell of a ride. I was impressed.

We're five episodes into season 2 and quite enjoying it.
