Best TV Series of 2019

Troyaferd · 21-11-2019 09:15AM

The Chernobyl Series is good, but I agree it's a little overrated when you look at all the attention it got. For me Too Old to Die Young is clearly the best Series of the year.

1. Mindhunter. Arguably the best casting ever seen in tv. Raised the bar for crime shows.

2. Chernobyl. Some of the most truly terrifying scenes shot for tv in a long time. The scene where they are on top of the roof clearing it in small groups at a time in short time-frame was epic.

Next would probably be Succession, although I think most of the main characters are sanctimonious (and I don't understand any of the corporate mumbo jumbo), and I haven't seen passed ep.3 in season 2 as for some reason I can't download any more episodes on demand. Have yet to catch the new season of The Deuce.

it's currently holding 61% of the votes here with the next show not even in the race
I think people liked it

Of the ones I've seen on that list, I would probably go for The Dark Crystal.
Carnival Row was a show that not many expected to be as good as it was

Chernobyl was great but I thought Euphoria was close.

Ya well then the majority of voter's are troglodyte's then. It's easily the best show of the year. Would you care to explain how Chernobyl is not the best series this year.

Final Season of Mr Robot is currently airing. If it was an option it'd get my vote! Superb TV.

21-11-2019 06:24PM

I'd give it to "The Boys". brilliant anti-hero stuff. and I have no interest in the Marvel / DC cookie-cutter tosh. Don't let the super-hero angle put you off it.

Bro why did you have to go and make it personal

whatlliwear · 21-11-2019 07:59PM

Succession for me!

maudgonner · 21-11-2019 08:48PM

Chernobyl for me, but The Virtues deserves to be on the list for Stephen Graham alone. The man is a genius.

Good shout actually. That was a brilliant show

Harry Palmr · 21-11-2019 11:55PM

Spiral
Giri/Haji
What We Do in the Shadows
Back to Life (woman who killed a school friend returns to her home town after prison release)
Year of the Rabbit
Years and Years was pretty good and an interesting concept.
A Confession
Chimerica - a series I linked with little enthusiasm but which turned out to be absorbing story of truth, identity and pursuit of ghosts.

pixelburp · 22-11-2019 12:02AM

Every time I go to post a favourite I stop, because I don't have a single solitary show I'd put up top. I'd easily select 3 or 4 and part of me wants to close the thread and reopen with a multiple choice poll.

So, I loved Chernobyl and Dark Crystal equally, but for completely different reasons and wouldn't choose between them, among others. The list is pretty arbitrary to begin with, and the results not necessarily indicative IMO.

We have proportional representation in this country, don't we, FPTP shouldn't apply here entirely lol.

Cool story bro, crushing cans bro, don't miss leg day bro.

Obvious troll is obvious.

No 'Top Boy' in the list? Best show I've seen since Breaking Bad!

I made a balls of this. I knew Channel 4 did the first 2 seasons, and Netflix did the third. I didn't expect that Netflix would split season 1 and 2 as a separate show to the 3rd so I ended up starting on s3 first. Doh

I had watched 2 of the new episodes before someone told me about the older ones. Went back then. I think Netflix should have made it clearer that this Top Boy is season three.
