Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Shit forgot about Banshee.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

I forgot iZombie, but it probably would only have been an honorable mention.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Noticed some key omissions after scanning through the results thus far -- shows that either made prior Top 10 lists or notable new shows. I'm sure there are others I overlooked that are worth mentioning.

Archer
Shameless
Masters of Sex
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Power
Documentary Now!
Hap and Leonard
The X-Files
Bloodline
Vikings
Horace and Pete

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Only show I would add that no one has mentioned is Black-ish.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Most of those sans had very polarizing seasons so their lack of inclusion doesn't surprise me.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

I'd like to include Salem's Season Three and Penny Dreadful's Season Three, but I haven't made my way through them.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

In no particular order, the shows that made Sunday a special night for me:

Game of Thrones - Maybe not their best season but, some of the best episodes they've ever done.

Westworld - You can tell halfway through that they retooled the show but, it never stopped being compelling television.

Penny Dreadful - Such an underrated show that never got the audience it deserved. It will be missed.


Other shows that I made sure to keep up with throughout the year:

Person of Interest - Surprised as hell this show was on CBS and somehow lasted 5 years. It was great throughout its entire run and ended perfectly.

The People vs. O.J. Simpson - I was too young when the O.J. trial happened to remember any of it. This show was so well done and cements it as the trial of the century.

Supernatural - I've been watching this show for years and somehow they managed to make one on best seasons with season 11. I hoping they get to 300 episodes.

Lucifer - I can't that the first season was that particular good but, for whatever reason I still really enjoyed watching it. The second season has been a big improvement and its a show I look forward to watching on Mondays.


Shows I watched after their seasons had ended:

Dark Matter - I watched both seasons of this show in 2016. I admit I wasn't expecting much from this show in the beginning even though it was creating by producers from the Stargate franchise. However, it's a cool space like another Syfy production (The Expanse) which just missed my Top 10.

The Magicians - I just watched this show in the last week. I had heard on this very board how good this show was and pleasantly surprised the all the praise was warranted.

Wentworth - I sort of wanted to put Orange is the New Black on this list but, Wentworth is just the better show. I didn't expect them to end the season the way they did, and it could possibly ruin the show. However, I have faith the writers can figure out a way to make it all worth it.


Honorable Mentions:

O.J. Made in America - Even though this was shown in 5 parts I still look at this as a film albeit a long film.

Highly Questionable - I watch this show everyday when I get home. I love those guys.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Hap and Leonard! I knew I forgot something. Adding it to my Top 10.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

I had Vikings 10th, the half season finale was great

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Still putting my list together, but reading everyone else's top ten's, all I can say is I guess no one is watching Rectify- I don't think there has been a single mention.

Hands down #1 for me.....

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Yes, and am embarrassed to say I still have it sitting on my DVR. (BTW, The Missing was technically a 2015 show (it made my top 10 last year))
Dang, I overlooked that on your list. Sorry about that.
Yup, there was only 1 mention of it in this thread from what I saw. I'm 2 seasons behind so am still playing catch up, but heard great things about the final episodes.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Series 2 aired in 2016.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

The Missing's second season hasn't aired in the United States yet on Starz. That's why he probably didn't count it.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

^ Yes, correct. That's a fair point for content airing via non-US media. Another example could be The Young Pope. Aired on the Sky network in Italy in 2016, but won't premiere for US audiences until HBO airs it in 2017. Heard great things about it so it's high on my list of anticipated shows for 2017.

Same goes for The Missing S2 - which Starz plans to air in Feb.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

Same with me. Season 2 depressed me so I haven't been motivated to start watching season 3 yet. It's on the short list to watch in the beginning of this year. Then season four would follow at some point.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

It's hard to narrow it down to 10, but I'll try. There was a lot of great television last year.

In no particular order...

Gomorrah
11.22.63
Rectify
Search Party
The OA
Game of Thrones
The Last Man on Earth
Atlanta
Quarry
Westworld

And if I could make it a top 20, I'd add...

The Night Of
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Stranger Things
Vice Principals
The Walking Dead
The Americans
Better Call Saul
Mr. Robot
Broad City
Love

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

I'm a season behind on Rectify, though it likely would have made my top five if I was caught up. Like The Americans, it operates on a different wavelength than most television.

Noticeably missing from most lists is The Walking Dead. For the #1 show on cable, few people must think it's great television. I certainly don't think it's good television, much less great tv.

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

#4 for me. Rates so high because it's familiar Sunday night "comfort food" and can always count on it to illicit some fun discussion (even if the discussion is about how bad an episode is).

Re: Your Official Top 10 of 2016
 

I totaled everyone's lists. 10 points for #1, 1 point for #10, if you specifically say no particular order every show gets 5.5 points, if you put more than 10 no one gets points, less than 10 I start at 10 points and werq back.

1. Game of Thrones 97 points
2. People vs OJ 88
3. Westworld 73.5
4. Stranger Things 69 nice
5. The Americans 58.5
6. Better Call Saul 58
7. This is Us 34.5
8. 30 for 30/OJ Made in America 29
9. The Night Manager 26
10. Black Mirror 24
11t. Rectify 23.5
11t. The Magicians 23.5
13t. Black Sails 23
13t. Animal Kingdom 23
15t. Halt and Catch Fire 20.5
15t. Atlanta 20.5
17. Bosch 18
18. Person of Interest 17.5
