Two percent of the world’s population just vanished without any explanation from either science or religion. What now? Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta’s adaptation of Perrotta’s novel about the aftermath of this sideways Rapture was often — particularly in its bumpier first season — among the most emotionally grueling television dramas of this or any other decade.
But that commitment to exploring the heartache of this parallel reality also meant that Lindelof, Perrotta, director Mimi Leder, and company were remarkably well-equipped to delve into its odder, even funnier, aspects.
Frank is weird but brilliantly played by Macy. Shameless covers the '10s - top 50 for sure. The show handled kids getting older best I can recall.
hixanity you know what 1 is on this list. How do you feel about the rest
*cough* SHO_RayDonovan
Super solid list
Someone needs to give sepinwall a VPN and access to BBC One because this is an embarrassingly US-centric list.
sepinwall I finally got to reading this Alan and while we disagree on Succession/Silicon Valley kudos on the list. While I preferred the Deuce to Treme, you've motivated me to rewatch Treme. I wasn't as engrossed in that world as I was the other Simon series.
All the FX love and no mention of AHS? Also, where is Black Mirror, Person of Interest and Silicon Valley?
Mad Men off the list? U kidding, right?
No alwayssunny in this list you jokers... No wonder why no one takes you seriously anymore...
sepinwall Not a bad list, with some creative choices, and I'm glad to see 'Better Things' - BetterthingsFX - in the top 10, but there's a big oversight: I would take the one season of 'PEN15' - pen15show - over many others here.
sepinwall The Leftovers as number 1 🙌 Finally getting some appreciation
sepinwall HECKA YEAA
sepinwall Fleabag should be 1
sepinwall Wtf? Did I miss seeing It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia on the list? How about Rick and Morty? Some questionable choices here...
sepinwall way to go pamelaadlon and BetterthingsFX ! So glad I got to sing lemmebewhoiwannabe on it to boot!!
sepinwall You forgot The Crown !
sepinwall So no Chernobyl, Mindhunter, Handmaids Tale, Russian Doll or Black Mirror......ok
sepinwall Una lista muy estúpida, the leftovers es muy buena pero no es la número 1 por mucho
sepinwall old essa hora mo
sepinwall HaltAMC ranking 18 should Have been better........
sepinwall No This is Us?
sepinwall A Top 50 list without Succession is just untrustworthy, consider there is at least 10 on the list is not even good.
sepinwall The Leftovers 1 👌
sepinwall Thanks for this, good choices and well-defended! I would have liked to have seen Getting On and Schitt's Creek on there though
sepinwall The Americans should be higher hut I'll take it
sepinwall I am old reader of yours from the old UPenn NYPD Blue page (still best show ever), but Stranger Things belongs on this list. Agree with Justified!
sepinwall Such a great, great read. I’m so thrilled to see Justified in the top ten and we’re in total and complete lock step about 1 and 2.
sepinwall Nice to see Banshee and Men Of A Certain Age on the list. Plus of course HACF
sepinwall Justified in the top 10? Noice.
sepinwall Seeing Justified in the TOP 10
sepinwall breaking bad over saul! sacrilege!!! saul should be no lower than 3!!! :rageemoji:
sepinwall No Maisel, huh?
sepinwall How in the hell is mad men not on this list ...
