Best mini-series by a mile has to be Chernobyl
5 of the most engrossing, horrifying and brilliantly acted hours of stand alone TV

Unearthly · 20-11-2019 03:43PM

Chernobyl with honourable mentions to The Deuce, Succession, The Boys and Dark

Very good year for tv overall

I actually think it was a slightly disappointing year. If you look at the Budget TV Series get this days, I would even call it a weak year.

Ray Donovan, City on a Hill, Limetown, Money Heist, Castlerock, The Handmaidens Tale, The Man in the High Castle, The Looming Tower, so many great series not in that poll.

Cobra Kai gets my vote.

Oh changed my mind Yellowstone gets my vote.

No I'll go with Top Boy.

No Mr Mercedes it is.

Scratch all of the above it's Line of Duty for me.

No I think ill go with Escape at Dannemora instead.

Forget all of the above it has to be The Righteous Gemstones.

Martin Tyler AgueroooOO · 20-11-2019 04:33PM

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Outlander would get the vote in our house.

Relikk · 20-11-2019 04:46PM

Chernobyl, for me.

Agent Coulson · 20-11-2019 05:02PM

I think I'll go with Kidding now.

No it's got to be Barry.

Agent Coulson · 20-11-2019 05:03PM

No Unbelievable gets it.

corks finest · 20-11-2019 05:06PM

Love Pennyworth

clevtrev · 20-11-2019 05:23PM

Succession best thing on tv in 2019

Sleepy · 20-11-2019 05:28PM

The Deuce for me.

Hard to imagine how I'd have felt if you'd told me this time last year that I wouldn't be voting for Game of Thrones in this poll

Agent Coulson · 20-11-2019 05:40PM

Legion's final season has to be the best.

In a way if someone had told me that Game of thrones, Big little lies, True Detective and Black Mirror would underwhelm at start of year, I would have been concerned but there is so much tv out there now that it's easy to find great tv.

Like with films, even if big budget films are crap, you can find the smaller independent films that deliver

Chernobyl most over rated tv series of the year.

deisedude · 20-11-2019 06:06PM

I voted for When they See Us. I thought it was the most heartbreaking, beautiful mini series and one of the best shows i've seen on Netflix

Chernobyl and Mindhunter were very good also

mcgooch · 20-11-2019 06:09PM

Chernobyl was by far the best TV I've watched this year.

Honorable mentions to Mindhunter, When They See Us, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and Fleabag. All excellent shows.

True Detective season 3 tried to align itself as much as possible with season 1 which is no bad thing and it was ok for the most part, however it didn't even try to recapture a sliver of the magic of season 1 and just played it safe.

Season 2 at least tried but didn't succeed however was still a better offering than 3.

What we do in the shadows for me.
You'd have to get video tapes of it off your cousin in the states as inexplicably it hasn't aired here or in the UK, but Doom Patrol was probably the best show of the year for me.

fryup · 20-11-2019 06:18PM

Chernobyl, it set a new benchmark

best TV drama ever?

Alpha_zero · 20-11-2019 06:18PM

Chernobyl made the Game of Thrones offering look amazing by comparison.

Chernobyl was brilliant. Gets my vote.

Alpha_zero · 20-11-2019 06:29PM

Only a troglodyte could claim Chernobyl was quality show.

Care to elaborate on that? What did you not like about it?
I would have it as one of the best shows of the year.

pixelburp · 20-11-2019 06:54PM

mod note: play nice. Keep it civil. You can discuss the shows without resorting to insults.

youcancallmeal · 21-11-2019 12:24AM

Succession or The Deuce for me. So much great TV this year. I'm quite enjoying Watchmen and the Mandalorian too which should finish by the end of the year

21-11-2019 12:27AM

It has to be succession. BOAR ON THE FLOOR!!!

Chernobyl was excellent, but an honourable mention must go to State of the Union. Ten 10 minute episodes brilliantly written and superbly acted by Chris O'Dowd and Rosamund Pike.
