Lmk y’all’s thoughts I feel like this is pretty undeniable ngl
I didn't expected 'You' in your top 5. It's pretty much trash to me after S3.

I was lowkey surprised You ended up above S4 Severance but on a more serious note I think the real outlier here is American Horror Story which is usually a guilty pleasure or a "show to pass the time" rather than a top 5 show in most peoples books.

If I'm ignoring the holy five (Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, Seinfeld and [despite the last seasons] Game of Thrones):
1. The Shield
2. Frasier
3. Deep Space Nine
4. Dark
5. Westworld (S1)

You're 'not going to lie' you feel your list of favorite TV shows is 'pretty undeniable'? Are you expecting people to try and tell you these are not actually your top TV shows?

These are great picks, but ALL TIME feels like at least one item should be pre-2000.

How old are you out of interest?
It's very deniable. I watched the first season of Breaking Bad and couldn't get into it / didn't enjoy it.
But my favourite TV show is the original Twilight Zone 🤷🏻♂️

Snobs here downvote these sorts of posts, so apologies for that.
There's some good stuff on this list. You is phenomenal through S3. S4 was fiiine and S5 brought the show down from an 8/10 to more of a 7/10 overall. Still really enjoyable.

I have to be critical with no sci-fi in there, but of course opinion is subjective and that is fine!

What genre do you consider Severance?

Definately dystopian "utopian" sci-fi drama.
I was not throwing shade, I was likely partially just showing my bias!
I would argue that Babylon 5 is likely the best TV show of all time though, with perhaps Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space nine as well...... there is so many great shows out there though; and subjectivity makes it hard to come to a consensus!
