10. The office
This mockumentary, which is set in the headquarters of a Pennsylvania paper manufacturer, is still wildly popular, and for good reason—it's amusing and extremely reassuring. Unlike the more abrasive British original, this American remake makes for a relatively warm and cheerful watch; each episode is like going back to a family reunion thanks to the show's sharp writing, relatable setting, and outstanding performances, especially that of Steve Corrales. Throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, a number of other series in a similar mockumentary format appeared, but none were as brilliant as the Office.
09. The leftovers
Due to the participation of showrunner Damon Lindelof and the intriguing enigma at the center of the plot, many fans and critics connect The Leftovers to Lost. The mystery of The Leftovers, unlike Lost, isn't the point; rather, it's merely a vehicle to explore the characters and the themes. The show never really took off because of a shaky first season, but the second and third seasons were so gorgeous and well-made that critics started to regard The Leftovers as one of the greatest shows ever made. It only lasts 28 episodes.
08. Eight lost
Despite its tragic conclusion, Lost remains a must-watch television series that follows survivors of a plane crash on an unidentified island. Throughout its six-season existence, it kept audiences guessing; sadly, something has been lost. Sorry, but while watching the show today, a big part of the appeal was going online and debating the countless theories and meticulously dissecting every single pixel of a given screenshot. Despite this, Lost still makes for excellent viewing because of its excellent cast, character writing, cinematic production values, and, of course, the sense of adventure at its core. Even though Lost has infamously bungled the landing, there is still nothing on television that compares to it when it is at its best.
07. The Simpsons
The Simpsons are indisputable because they are so great and ingrained in pop culture. In relation to the subsequent burst of animated sitcoms, it may be the most acclaimed and influential television program of all time, and its endearing ensemble of characters has gained cultural significance. Bart has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Simpsons have a star on the Time 100 list. The best animated sitcom ever created would be Springfield, which would expand the cast and feature some of the funniest and most creative writing on television.
06. Avatar the last airbender
Anyone can enjoy Nickelodeon's avatar, which is a nice thing. While each episode typically depicts a self-contained account of its own, there is also an overarching plot that sees avatar Aang learning to control the elements so he can defeat the fire nation. In addition to the outstanding storytelling, the show is also rife with humor and fantastic production values, which include fantastic lighting, sound, and visual effects.
05. The wire
David Simon, a 13-year veteran of the Baltimore Sun, devised and wrote the majority of this extensive crime drama. He spent most of that time reporting on crime, where he gained knowledge of everyday life in a normal American city. He created the wire by applying his understanding. The Wire isn't as focused on telling an interesting plot as other crime dramas are, though it does that as well. Rather, it is more concerned with examining how various aspects of a city, such as the police, politics, streets, schools, and media, work together to make a whole. The program has received a great deal of praise for its realism and literary aspirations.
04. Twin peaks
Even if they leave you feeling disoriented and unappealing after a succession of masterpieces like Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, and Blue Velvet, most of David Lynch's works are worth seeing. Twin Peaks was first broadcast on television by Lynch through ABC. Like the majority of Lynch's work, it was unlike anything seen on television at the time and is now unlike anything seen on television. While Twin Peaks starts off as an unconventional detective story about a recently killed adolescent, it quickly devolves into complete insanity. Twin Peaks is weird and nightmarishly surreal. Since Twin Peaks cannot be compared to anything else, it is difficult to characterize it because that is what makes it so distinctive and memorable.
03. Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones, which followed a battle for control of the made-up seven kingdoms, was based on George R. R. Martin's epic series A Song of Ice and Fire. It revolutionized television forever. The show had a brilliant cast of enduring characters, strong world-building, and a fantastic narrative. Unbelievable production values were another element. With its epic scope and stunning visual effects, Game of Thrones successfully crossed over from television to film. Scenes like "Hard Home" and "Battle of the Bastards" will forever be ingrained in our collective pop culture consciousness. At a time when streaming was splintering television, "Game of Thrones" got everyone talking and tuning in week after week.
02. The sopranos
If not for the sopranos, the majority of the dramas on this list would not have been produced. The drama primarily focuses on the criminal and private lives of a particular Italian-American mob family, especially that of Tony Soprano, the family's boss. Although the mob material is wonderful, the sopranos have always been more intrigued by tackling less interesting but still significant issues such as psychology, generational gaps, and family. It tells one particular story while simultaneously touching on a variety of ideas related to the human condition, much like a great American novel. The fact that the program is entertaining and might even qualify as a workplace comedy also helps. It does everything brilliantly and has a little bit of everything.
01. Breaking bad
Like a great crime novel, no other television program has ever come close to matching the intensity of Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad, a television series about a high school chemistry teacher with terminal cancer who starts making meth to support his family, is a true page-turner, or at least the TV equivalent. This is due to the show's constant cliffhangers. A story of mystery and suspense, Breaking Bad's complex plot succeeds because of its strong character development, award-winning acting, breathtaking and creative cinematography, distinctive setting in Albuquerque, and some gut-busting humor. Additionally, it produced the wonderful spin-off better known as Saul. Its production is flawless in every way, and it serves as the model for how a television program should be produced.
