This list is invalid because How It's Made is suspiciously absent.

List compiled by an utter moron. Entirely missing (among others) and vastly superior to most on the list:

  • The Expanse
  • After Life
  • Sex Education
  • Firefly
  • IT Crowd

Also, despite being controversial, probably worth mentioning:

  • South Park
  • The Walking Dead
  • Z-Nation (imo much better than TWD)
[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

South Park is not eligible as it started airing in 1997.

Yeah the fact that The Office UK is on here and not The IT Crowd just shows they included it due to proximity to The Office US and don't watch British TV.

[–] mirisgaiss@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (4 children)

scanned the entire list hoping the expanse would pop up.

of course not.

What is this list based on?

Where the fuck is Dark?

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Dark not in a top 100 is how you know the curator does not actually watch TV

Insane list. Look at the IMDB Top 250 filtered by "after 2000" and you'll notice the obvious omissions:

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender at number 6
  • Attack on Titan at number 16
  • Firefly at number 39
  • Taskmaster at number 43

These are just a couple examples in different categories. Anime fans immediately noticed that no anime made the list at all, despite 10 being in the IMDB top 100. Western animation fans might have seen that Bojack Horseman made the list, but Avatar didn't (or if the editor filtered for "adult animation", Rick and Morty (#22) didn't). There's really no excuse for these, there is no consistent rule that would exclude any of these shows. NYT readers must live in the dark timeline where fun is outlawed and Taskmaster was cancelled after one series.

It's really weird that basically nothing made out of the anglosphere is there. Squid game got squeezed in, but not a single anime for example is really weird. There is stuff like AoT and Death Note and neither is on there.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's completely US-centered with a couple of British shows sprinkled on top. Even if your focus was just the anglosphere, UK TV punches way above its weight.

I’m sirprised Scrubs, Monk, Lucifer, Dark etc. didnt’t make the list but allegedly a TV show called PEN15 did?

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago

Honestly from what I've seen of PEN15 it does belong on the list.

I think these are as good as any on this list as well. My faves.

Black Sails

This is a pretty good list, that I largely agree with. IF it were unordered. Ordered the way it is, it is an abomination.

At least the big bang theory and young Sheldon aren’t on this list

So apparently, the 21st Century is already over, and pretty much every good show is made in English. Got it.

I'm so far behind on that show, like probably 10+ seasons behind. I got tired of it after a certain point. I feel like I'm not alone.

This is certainly a top-quality shitpost. I'll give you my upvote for that.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So, so many poorly placed on the list. Band of Brothers is my personal number 1, but I'd accept it anywhere in the top 5; begrudgingly accept it in the top 10. But 28? GTFO.

Squid Game at 72 isn't, but as far as I can tell, it's the only non-English show on there.

It's a mediocre list for sure.

  1. Shogun is too low.
  2. Babylon Berlin is missing.
  3. Lost? Really?
  4. Band of Brothers is too low.
  5. Better Call Saul is too low.
  6. Severance is too low.
  7. Watchmen is too low.
  8. Barry is too low.
  9. Eastbound and Down but no Vice Principals is crazy.
  10. Community is too low.

I’m surprised to have watched quite some of them! And I am glad to see Andor high up (subjectively, I would put it number 1, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea)

Sales pitch: politics, political activism and action in the Star Wars universe. What happens when you are not a shiny Jedi but just a dude? Absolutely great, perfectly paced, tackling cool problems. Gives meat to the dystopian Empire. I will stop here, you should watch the first episode.

I've haven't seen the vast majority of these so I can't speak for their quality.

Some I've started but haven't finished and the quality varies drastically.

I've only seen four of these to completion (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Mare of Easttown and Baby Reindeer) only two of which (Breaking Bad and Mad Men) I would recommend.

But the biggest questions on my mind: why would you compile such a list when there's still 8 decades left in this century? Will television as a medium still exit in 2101?

No anime on the list means they're just uncultured.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I was discussing this list with my wife yesterday - from the other comments we've watched more than the average person here. I'd say we've seen 4 out of every 5 shows at least one season and probably finished about 20% of them (with minor exceptions like spin offs or movies or new seasons in the last few years with a hiatus).

What struck me was the inclusion of Suvivor and Ru Paul - I don't doubt their cultural impact and significance, nor their importance towards their fans - but as a mark of quality of what a TV experience can be, considering performances, risk-taking, writing depth, cinematography, music, costuming, editing, props design, imagination and ingenuity - I wouldn't have included those in the Top 100.

I can take it seriously if they have The Americans in the top twenty! Really good showing for British shows in a US-based list. Poor showing for animations that are not Bojack Horseman.
