Lost
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Friday Night Lights
24
Mad Men
Game of Thrones
Then throw in some critically acclaimed comedies:
The Office
My name is Earl
Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Friday Night Lights debuted 20 years ago this month. I remember how good TV was back then.
What happened? Did streaming kill episodic TV? I don’t think my tastes have changed. I still want quality shows yet I don’t see them being made or even green lit.

The Americans was after this and is arguably one of the best ever.

The Leftovers
True Detective S1-3
Black Sails
Fargo
The Gentlemen
Severence
Slow Horses
Shogun
Widows Bay
Peaky Blinders
Mr. Robot
Succession
Shrinking
The Rehearsal
Euphoria
The White Lotus
The Jinx
The Newsroom
The Knick
Barry
Banshee
Veep
Vice Principles
The Studio
Mythic Quest
Vikings
Westworld S1-2
Squid Games
Fargo

We are in a silver age of television right now, but our shared culture no longer exists like it did even 20 years ago so most people don’t realize it
