What are your favorite TV Shows of the last 10-15 years? Looking for recommendations.

Just never had time to watch a lot of TV (or movies). I watched more YouTube than anything.

I watched a few shows here and there like Power, Atlanta, Insecure, Archer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Office, The Wire, American Dad, Luther, Misfits.

But I've been watching those for a long time. So instead of binge watching those again, I want to try some different shit.

So I'm trying to fill my media server with all the shows people always bring up in these discussions.

I got all the shows I already like, and a lot of the shows I've always wanted to watch, but I still feel like I'm forgetting shit.

Hey you seen top boy... a gritty dope boy crime thriller from england??
 
AGREED

I kinda want to add White Lotus...

but that is REALLY a very SPECIFIC audience.

I don't know if Titans deserves on that list.

sidebar:

funny no reality shows were mentioned.


Gonna be interesting to see how their 2nd seasons are received. As far as reality goes? CBS really struck out with their long-running shows like Survivor, Amazing Race, and Big Brother. Pretty much 20 years for all of them. Survivor is my fave of the 3.

Funny we don't really do reality shows on here heavy

I'm a amazing race die hard

I was Survivor very very early on but dumped it a few seasons in...

I used to really be into MTV real world v. Road rules and I mean for YEARS but dropped it.

So now it's mostly family friendly stuff

Chopped, British baking championship etc.

Nice. If you have a chance, check out the current season of MTV’s The Challenge. Something like 34 contestants. Mix of Americans & international competitors from seasons of BB, Survivor, and more overseas. Sizeable grand prize. Filmed in Croatia. Only a few episodes in so far.
 
thing with that show is the growth/development of the characters. Johnny (the villain from the original movies) is really more of a good guy that is down on his luck as an adult, while ralph macchio's character( the good guy in the originals), is more of a rich, arrogant asshole in this show. then you have the new wave of characters (the kids in this current series). Lot of fighting ...










 
Warrior

This series does not get enough credit. I'm guessing it does not get enough PR because it is a Asian cast.

For those looking for a quick series to watch that has flown under the radar for many, I recommend Mr. Inbetween.


Only 3 seasons - 26 episodes in total.


Episodes only run 21 - 32 minutes, so it's a quick watch.








Mr Inbetween is an Australian black comedy-crime drama television series which premiered on FX on 25 September 2018 in the United States,[1] followed by Fox Showcase in Australia on 1 October 2018.[2] The series is a serialisation of the 2005 feature film The Magician, which was created, written by and starred Scott Ryan.[3] Ryan reprises his lead role and is also the writer for the series.[1]

The program was originally commissioned for FX Australia as its first original drama production,[4] but launched in Australia on Showcase following the closure of FX Australia between commission and premiere.[2] Filming took place in various locations in Sydney.[5]

On 9 October 2018, FX and Foxtel renewed the series for a second season which premiered on 12 September 2019.[6][7] On 26 May 2020, the series was renewed for a third and final season which premiered on 25 May 2021.[8][9] The series concluded on 13 July 2021, after three seasons and 26 episodes.[10]












 
So rethinking tv as of 2012 and 2007

In 2007 these dropped

Burn Notice

Mad Men

The Tudors


The Dresden files

The Riches

John from Cincinnati

Drive

Super jail!

Gossip girl

Big Bang theory

Reaper

Pushing Daisies

Saving Grace

Moonlight

Journeyman

Yo Gabba gabba

I watched them all many didn't last but it's an interesting list showing how many of these ideas just came out at the wrong time

Many would be hits in this new streaming age.

Some of these became classics, cult hits and the Kardashian show is STILL on the air.

The bolded are my personal favorites but the list is comprised of shows I think all deserve a revisit.
 
I'm into comedies and crime shows. So my wheel house are shows that marry the both:

Burn Notice
Psych
Monk
Castle
Bull
The Mentalist
Blackish
Black AF (which is basically Blackish but now they curse on netflix - literally same show plots)
Avatar The Last Airbender
Suits
Real Husbands of Hollywood
FBI (The original not the knock offs)
Unsung - depends on who is being featured

That's a good point. Or the many great series over the years that have dropped on the lesser-known networks.
