I'm surprised that "Mad Men" ranked one higher than "Breaking Bad".
And that "The Leftovers" ranked in the top ten. Not because it doesn't deserve to be there, but like "The OA", you often wondered if anybody ever watched it but you.
Which is the truly astonishing thing, that "The OA" made it in the 100 even after the idiots at Netflix cancelled it on a clliffhanger.
A little surprised that "Deadwood" slotted as high as it did, and even "Six Feet Under" after all these years.
And "Downton Abbey" all the way down at 36? (Good gosh, "Fargo" is one above it.)
And the "Watchmen" at 26! (I still think the original graphic novel tops this "sequel", but they'll never make a good TV or movie version from the latter, so...)
And despite all the wailing, moaning, and catcalls in the 13 years since about the ending or its final season, "Lost" is still hanging at a spot like #19, just as similarly finale-reviled "Game of Thrones" is at #5. Heh.
