"Personally, I think The Twilight Zone (1959) is a 10/10. Some episodes aren't as strong as others but the concept of the show as a whole is superb."— u/reece_1066

6. The Americans
"Elizabeth Jennings is one of my favorite characters of all time. As a side note, the soundtrack (not official, but there’s a playlist on Spotify for all 6 seasons) absolutely slaps."— u/rbickfor1988
"Every episode is entertaining, it twists in unexpected places, it tackles real philosophical questions, it only goes for as long as the story needs it to, and the ending is possibly the most beautiful ending I’ve ever seen on TV."— u/kathrynjean97

9. Breaking Bad
AMC/Everett Collection
"One of the few shows I've ever seen that somehow consistently gets better as it goes on."— u/samusmaster64
10. Freaks and Geeks
"I am simultaneously crushed and relieved it never got more seasons. It will forever exist as the perfect season of TV, and in a way, it's the perfect 'ending' to not give much closure to the characters. Will Daniel stay a nerd? Will Lindsey become a deadhead? Will she regret it? Who knows. It's the perfect snapshot into a moment of time in their lives."— u/BoulderFalcon

11. Derry Girls
"There’s no way to explain why this show is so funny, but the end of the very first episode is one of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen on TV."
"Side-splittingly hilarious show! I was pretty young the first time I saw it and it forever altered my sense of humor. Monty Python as well but it had a definite peak whereas I feel like Fawlty Towers was pure gold from beginning to end."— u/One-Grab6568

"Even with no proper ending, I was still hooked."— u/Dumpst3r_Kid

"Every episode is 10/10. I think about the show every time I see jam toast on the ceiling."— u/3Dputty

"Absolutely brilliant. I watch it every year with my kids. They love it."— u/AnotherYadaYada

16. Veep
"I think Veep may be the best-written comedy of all time. I am always sad it is not talked about more."— u/TailorFestival

17. Barry
"Barry is so fucking good, but I don’t know anyone else who’s seen it in the UK."
" Arrested Development is not my favorite show, but Seasons 1-3 are pure perfection. Literally every episode from the pilot is a solid 10/10. Season 4 was okay, but damn Season 5 was so garbage it left a bad taste in my mouth."— u/reallydarnconfused

20. Avatar: The Last Airbender
"Not only the best kids show I’ve ever seen, but one of the best ever, in general."
" Chernobyl is my go-to show when I need to believe in humanity again. There were so many problems and mistakes at a system level, but so many brave humans stepped up to help on many levels, from firefighters to remediators to scientists."
"I make it a point to watch it once a year, and I'm not even American. A TV series made by Spielberg and Tom Hanks? Damian Lewis, baby Tom Hardy, baby Michael Fassbender, baby James McAvoy? Yes please."
