    I can't for the life of me follow the format of this tournament or final. Not sure if order is needed but I'll go;


    The first 24 rounds were (mostly) pools of 8 with the (mostly) 2 most popular going through.

    That gave us 51 semifinalists over rounds 25-30 that were mostly pick two from 8, and one pick three from twelve.

    That produced us the 13 finalists above.

    A worthy winner.

    I hadn't seen the other finalists but have only heard good things about Chernobyl.
    Black Summer seems to have slipped under my radar.

    I had voted for Firefly and Harper's Island in their rounds as they were great entertainment.
    I voted for Band of Brothers as I think it had re-watchability and a timelessness.
    I think it made an impact over and above the other series in terms of sales, even tie-in books and TV documentaries.

    Pity we didn't get more episodes of Firefly though we did get Serenity.
    So in alternative poll for cancelled too soon that would get my vote :)

    Honestly I'm just happy that some of my nominees made it past the first round, and even then they definitely weren't the ones I expected

    Thanks for the game Liz, a tremendous amount of time and effort put in to it :)

    Enjoyed this game, and have a few new shows to check out, thanks Liz.

    Haven't seen Band of Brothers, not sure it would interest me personally, but a great show I'm sure and the people have spoken.

    I remember watching it around 2005/6, I think it was on E4, it was quite interesting, it had a kinda dark atmosphere set in a picture perfect seaside town with rich beautiful people, who had dark secrets and there was a sense of impending doom. I can't remember how it finished, but, do remember being disappointed that there wasn't a satisfactory conclusion.

    No it wasn't nominated by anyone or I didn't add it also :o I think I meant to catch it on E4 as I thought similar to American Gothic, thanks for the heads up
