Best TV Series Of The 21st Century
Happy to confess my critical bias for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and mystery themes (SF/F/H/M), so only a few non-genre titles are included here. Other main criteria is any series’ re-watch-ability, although I found that did not apply to some, such as Game Of Thrones (GOT), that still counts because it was consistently great TV on first viewing. Programmes in A-Z order, with chronology below... This listing is expanded from an earlier Top 25 favourites.
