Have you considered writing for TV Fanatic. I gotta hook-up if you're interested: email me at okonh0wp@gmail.com

Blah, I'm bored with all the Breaking Bad hype. Even if it's the best show ever, it's such an unoriginal answer, but I'm not often a fan of shows where the protagonist gets unrealistically squeezed in about 16 different directions by people who want him to do opposite things or face death.

Good Place certainly deserves the title, but Parks and Rec, I had some major problems with after the first two or three seasons. I couldn't stand how everyone got such a fantasy fairy tale ending in their love lifes, careers, and friend circles.

It's like the equivalent of looking on a facebook wall and seeing everyone supremely happy.

Orange is the New Black and The Affair is good placement.

Halt and Catch Fire, I liked the second season more than the first. Also, fun fact, I'm friends from college with one of the two guys who created the show and served as its co-executive producer.

Louie and Better Things aren't my cup of tea. Louie is so cynical and bitter, I find him devoid of humor.

Black Mirror (and also Orphan Black) are definitely great shows.

Review, yes, that'd be up there on my list. It's so tragic though.

Men of a Certain Age...yes

New Girl was in my rotation for several seasons

I do top tens every year though I don't have best of the decade: Orange is the New Black, It's Always Sunny, BoJack Horseman, AP Bio, Homeland, American Horror Story, Good Place, Good Wife, and Mozart in the Jungle, Another Period, Crashing, The Bridge, Arrested Development, Futurama, Onion News Network, Marelous Mrs Maisel, Silicon Valley would be in my top group....

followed by

Mom, The Guest Book, Manhattan, Bates Motel, What We Do in the Shadows, Futurama, Ozark, Mozart in the Jungle, Man in High Castle, Brockmire, Ramy, Key and Peele, Portlandia, Once Upon a Time, and Boardwalk Empire, Finding Your Roots, Holey Moley, and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and Glow are all in there somewhere too

We really should follow each other!
