The best TV series this decade
My favorite TV show ever are the seasons 3-6 of “Star Trek: The Next Generation”. What a classic. I always talk about “seasons” and not TV shows in their entirety though because quality can really differ from year to year. Just like with TNG, seasons 1 and 2 were unwatchable while the last season 7 the overall quality became a major issue… Speaking about this decade, here are my best TV show seasons (no sitcoms included), along with my rating:
1. Lost, season 1: 9/10
2. 24, season 2: 8.5/10 (it would finish first if it wasn’t for the lame Kim Bauer subplot)
3. Lost, season 2: 8/10
4. Firefly, season 1: 8/10
5. The 4400, season 1: 7.5/10
6. 24, season 4: 7.5/10
7. Invasion, season 1: 7/10
8. 24, season 5: 7/10
9. The 4400, season 2: 6.5/10
10. House MD, seasons 1&2: 6.5/10
As you can see, in the 6 years of this decade, I truly enjoyed 6 shows only (I mostly watch History, Discovery, Science, National Geographic and the Military channels instead of normal TV). I am pretty difficult to please as I require some compelling mystery & plot and (preferably sci-fi) action. Although, sorry David, I just don’t get the new version of ‘Battlestar Galactica’, while the Stargate family of series were shot too cheaply for my taste with a confusing background plot. And don’t let me start about the terrible “Star Trek: Enterprise”.
