Great work with the thread Ratsky!



I did my part and put THW as my number 1 show, but yeah GAF is very US centric so it is unfortunately not very surprising that British shows get very little recognition. Unfortunately for me Netflix Nordic has been very slow with the second series of Line of Duty so I haven't seen it yet, the first series was brilliant though.

Part of it might be. that it aired on Sundance Channel in the US and I'm not sure how many people even know they have it. I sure didn't until I saw a commercial for Rectify's first season and looked into it.

7 of the top 10 spots were won by cable shows, so it's not like this is some revelation.

I'm just looking for welcome exceptions like Hannibal and Jane the Virgin, and was wondering if Person of Interest fit that bill or was just another Flash situation.

It's a lot more network-y than Hannibal, but it's a much better show than The Flash.

Leona Lewis said:
annoyingly obtrusive background music (not really), endless flashbacks (not exactly - it has flashbacks but they aren't that excessive like, say, Lost or *barf* Arrow *barf*) and cutaways to buildings and cities (yes), terrible and infantilizing dialogue (no)

I'm hesitant to recommend the show to people though because it's not for everyone and it takes about a full, long season to really get going.

More people should watch The Honorable Woman (available on Netflix now). It was so good.

Pay attention people. The Honorable Woman is legit. It's streaming on Netflix now, no excuses!

Also, shouldn't those spots be +1? For example, The Honorable Woman would average a 3 ranking (4 votes, 8 pts apiece), not a 2.

I'm on S1E11 of Hannibal and I can say with confidence that it was robbed. True Detective absolutely deserves its praise though. Also I probably would have liked Season 4 of GOT a lot more if I didn't read the books so I'm biased there. And Rick and Morty deserves to be much higher. It's absolutely batshit insane and the funniest show I've seen in a long time.

But regardless, great work to everyone involved in making this list happen.



Yes I'm part of the problem since I didn't vote. Wasn't able to start Hannibal until last weekend and didn't want to vote without it.

Thanks for all the work Ratsky. And putting some of my quotes up there. Think we got a decent list this year. Funny how GoT never comes in first apparently :p
