Best TV Series | Top Ranked (̶o̶p̶i̶n̶i̶o̶n̶)̶ (objective)
Everything in the top 20 is essential viewing.
Certain placements may appear questionable to the untrained eye, but as the lone, self-appointed arbiter of quality taste I insist to the artistically challenged plebeians that an unsuspected merit lies beyond your feeble perception within each masterful showpiece listed here.
If it's not on this list it's not a good show.

But because of his unorthodox approach, Nathan"s genuine efforts to do good often draw real people into an experience far beyond what they signed up for.9.88/10
Offensively underrated series.
It feeds on the naive ambitions of unsuspecting business owners to craft elaborate comedic narratives disguised as business strategies. Had the series been entirely scripted it would still be hilarious, but the interactions herein are socially engineered, which adds unique depth.
If you can see merit in the other placements of this list you'd be unwise to overlook this masterpiece. - CreatorVince GilliganPeter GouldStarsBob OdenkirkRhea SeehornJonathan BanksThe trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer Jimmy McGill in the years leading up to and past his fateful run-in with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.9.88/10
- CreatorAlan BallStarsPeter KrauseMichael C. HallFrances ConroyWhen death is your business, what is your life? Laced with irony and dark situational humor, the show approaches the subject of death through the eyes of the Fisher family, who owns and operates a funeral home in Los Angeles.9.81/10

- CreatorIlana GlazerAbbi JacobsonStarsIlana GlazerAbbi JacobsonHannibal BuressBroad City follows two women throughout their daily lives in New York City, making the smallest and mundane events hysterical and disturbing to watch all at the same time.9.76/10
- CreatorSkyler PageStarsSpencer RothbellKatie CrownTom KennyLife is just one big adventure for Clarence and his two best friends, Jeff & Sumo.9.73/10
An adult's show disguised as a kid show.
It has it's own unique appeal I would deem "vulgar wholesome". Episodes evoke an uncanny reminder of childhood while avoiding the more tedious aspects of children's entertainment.
Most people simply don't get it, but if you're at all receptive to the appeal of this show it will inevitably become a favorite. - CreatorAlec BergBill HaderStarsBill HaderStephen RootSarah GoldbergA hit man from the Midwest moves to Los Angeles and gets caught up in the city"s theatre arts scene.9.67/10
- StarsJessie James GrelleBryce PapenbrookTrina NishimuraAfter his hometown is destroyed, young Eren Jaeger vows to cleanse the earth of the giant humanoid Titans that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction.9.62/10
This show would easily be top 5 if not for a couple grievances.
The show expects you to lend credence to the absurd premise of giant titans terrorizing humanity, and it provides a very satisfying justification for the premise, albeit far too late into the series.
I was not sold on the show until about 33 episodes in, but once it had established the merit behind it's premise Attack on Titan transitions from a fantastical show about giant titans, to one about nationalism, hegemony and ethnic cleansing, which provides a far more captivating narrative. - CreatorDave BurdJeff SchafferStarsDave BurdAndrew SantinoGataA neurotic, mid-20s suburbanite is convinced that he"s destined to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Now he"s only got to prove it to everyone else.9.6/10
- CreatorAaron McGruderStarsRegina KingJohn WitherspoonGary Anthony WilliamsBrothers Huey and Riley Freeman experience a culture clash when they leave Chicago to move in with their grandfather in the suburbs.9.58/10
- CreatorSacha Baron CohenStarsSacha Baron CohenRoy ElghanayanEmanuela PostacchiniSacha Baron Cohen offers his take on America"s patriotism.9.55/10
Another offensively underrated show.
It showcases absurd interactions with unsuspecting politicians and otherwise politically relevant people. Brutally exposes the unimaginable ineptitude of the people Sacha engages with.
This show is very similar to Nathan For You [Rank #3] albeit with a political bent. - CreatorJesse ArmstrongStarsNicholas BraunBrian CoxKieran CulkinThe Roy family is known for controlling the biggest media and entertainment company in the world. However, their world changes when their father steps down from the company.9.49/10
- CreatorLouis C.K.StarsLouis C.K.Steve BuscemiEdie FalcoLouis C.K."s Eugene O"Neill-esque dramatic web series about two cousins, introverted Horace and mentally ill Pete, the current owners of their family"s Irish bar "Horace and Pete"s", and their dysfunctional family and friends.9.49/10
- CreatorDan EricksonStarsAdam ScottZach CherryBritt LowerMark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.9.42/10
- CreatorDonald GloverStarsDonald GloverBrian Tyree HenryLaKeith StanfieldEarn and his cousin, Alfred, try to make their way in the world through Atlanta"s rap scene. Along the way they come face-to-face with social and economic issues touching on race, relationships, poverty, status and parenthood.9.39/10

- CreatorTrey ParkerMatt StoneBrian GradenStarsTrey ParkerMatt StoneIsaac HayesFollows the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctional town of South Park, Colorado.9.31/10
- CreatorSteve DildarianStarsSteve DildarianMJ OttoNick KrollWatch as Tim finds himself in several awkward situations in this HBO cartoon comedy.9.3/10
Seriously underrated.
Easily deserves a seat at the table with the highly acclaimed animated comedies seen on this list. It's probably about on-par with South Park [Rank# 21] with its humor and absurdity.
Stop what you're doing right now and check this out. - CreatorDave JeserJosh MillerMatt SilversteinStarsMaria BamfordRachel ButeraMatt SilversteinGolan is the dark lord of an alternate universe that comes to our world and is befriended by a little goth girl and her family. Buffoonery ensues as he deals with everyday life.9.29/10
A toxic codependency between the narcissist protagonist and their naive younger counterpart. Probably the greatest trope ever conceived if you consider Breaking Bad [Rank #1] and Rick & Morty [Rank #2].
It evokes an interesting contrast between its vulgarity and the amusing kinship between Golan and Dylan, an interdimensional demigod and a 6 year old goth girl—A dynamic which resembles Walt and Jesse, or Rick and Morty as an unspoken affinity drives the toxic relationship.
My 9.29 rating is for the first iteration of the series. The second season is more of a refined reboot with new voice actors and writing, which I found less interesting, albeit still good. - CreatorMichael CusackZach HadelStarsMichael CusackZach HadelMarc M.In a colorful yet bizarre world, the employees at a small firm dedicated to making its customers smile discover that their jobs are rarely as simple as they seem.9.25/10
- CreatorPendleton WardStarsJohn DiMaggioJeremy ShadaTom KennyA 12-year-old boy and his best friend, a wise 28-year-old dog with magical powers, go on a series of surreal adventures in a remote future.9.21/10
