DOSS300 said:Nice list! love how you mentioned Six Feet Under and Avatar. I also really wanna try The Twilight Zone one of these days. But anyway, for me I don't have a solid top ten TV shows list, so I tend to mix it up with my favorite anime. Only the first 3 are in order lol
1. Evangelion
2. Game of Thrones (Books included)
3. The Sopranos
4. One Piece
5. Ashita No Joe
6. Twin Peaks
7. HBO Rome
8. Mushishi
9. Serial Experiments Lain
10. Netflix Dark
Beautiful - I never thought I would see Rome and Mushishi on the same list of anything, but I can tell immediately you have taste for a wide variety of things, as do I. Rome is actually just outside my own list! Probably would be #11 if I extended it. All my close runners-up are HBO's period piece shows from the mid-2000s which were treated egregiously badly and canceled prematurely and far too early - Rome, Carnivale, and Deadwood. You should check out the other two too if you haven't already.
Also, if I similarly allowed all anime on my list unrestricted, it would probably be closer to mirroring yours in the sense that my Top 5 anime would be about half the list - probably the first half honestly, and push everything else down.
And if you ever watch The Twilight Zone at any point down the line, just keep in mind two things. One is to go for the original which aired from 1959 - 1964 and had five seasons. All in black and white. Not the vastly inferior reboots from the 1980s, 2002, and 2019 (the 2002 one is actually decent and the only other one I've seen all of all the way through, but still can't hold a candle to the original).
And the other thing is that because it's an anthology series, the plot, setting, and even characters are different every episode, so while it holds true of every series I've ever seen that there are some episodes better than others or you personally like/favor some episodes more than others, and that is true even in a serial series (where it's like one long continuing story or giant-sized movie) or episodic series (like sitcoms that have the relatively self-contained one-off plots usually resolved within an episode, but the same characters and setting and some level of continuity), this is extra true for an anthology series, because each episode is really independent of all others.
