Everyone thinks their taste is elite… until they say Big Bang Theory is the GOAT. 😅 In this solo episode, I lay down my definitive Top 10 TV shows of all time—ranked by rewatchability, writing, cultural impact, emotional range, and longevity. Expect spicy takes, iconic quotes, and at least one show you’ll rewatch tonight.
The List (10 ➜ 1) + a “why it slaps” speed take
10) Silicon Valley — Tech satire that’s too real for real engineers. “We’re making the world a better place…” 😉
9) Peaky Blinders — Post-WWI grit, flat caps, razor bills, Cillian Murphy masterclass. “By order of…”
8) Ted Lasso — Mr. Rogers energy with cuss words. Pure feel-good believe fuel.
7) Boardwalk Empire — Prohibition power plays; Buscemi proves you can’t be “half a gangster.”
6) Chernobyl — Five hours of “what is the cost of lies?”—and flawless tension.
5) The Sopranos — Therapy as a power move; the finale debate lives rent-free forever.
4) Yellowstone — Succession in cowboy boots; build something great and someone tries to take it.
3) Band of Brothers — Spielberg/Hanks gut-check; if you didn’t cry, check your pulse.
2) The Office (US) — Background-TV king, quote factory, comfort-watch champion.
- Game of Thrones — When it hit, it was untouchable. “Winter is coming” (and so are trust issues).
Honorable Mentions: Breaking Bad, Shameless, Key & Peele (A-A-Ron forever), Shrinking.
Drop your Top 3 in the comments and tell me which pick is outrageous. Bonus points for a quote that everyone knows.
