    Fargo is a wild one to have in there. I feel like it's been consistently great.

    Last of Us Season 2 is wild. The first season had a few changes to make it more TV adaptable, pretty much all of them landed for me.

    Then the second season just removed a ton of impactful story for no apparent reason and wrote it like a LOTR adventure instead of an unhinged drive for vengeance.

    Click bait should not be encouraged.

    Its not Screenrant's worst article, to be fair.

    I feel like they’re heading in the direction of Buzzfeed, where their better half may evolve into solid journalism/criticism.

    And the bad half funds it. Which is... fine.

    …And hopefully they don’t shut down the good half after that. Like Buzzfeed.

    I always feel a little sad with shows like Heroes. It had such good potential, but it was a victim of the writers strike at the time, so was Battlestar Galactica (one of my favorites). Quite a few shows just kind of flopped and that’s when we saw more reality TV start showing up and become the monster it is today. I really hate reality shows.

    To be clear, I 100% supported the writers during their strike, it just sucks that some really good shows were impacted.

    I also disagree with adding The Last of Us to the list. I never played the game, although I know most of the differences between show and game because of friends so I get why folks who played the game were upset with it. As just a show watcher, I thought the second season was just as good as the first. Maybe a little slower paced, but not enough to be on a list like this, especially putting it higher on the list than Westworld S2.

    I really hate reality shows.

    Except Clarkson's Farm! It’s great, especially if you’ve watched any Top Gear before.

    I disagree on Stranger Things. It dipped in the second season, but the third fourth and fifth seasons are excellent.

    Also the prequel play that is currently on broadway is just incredible and goes toe to toe with any one episode in S1.

    Because the first four seasons are all fantastic, it's only in season five that things start to slip. Sure season one's "Baelor" is a huge tone setting moment that defines the rest of the series but there is no denying that season three's "Rains of Castamere" is the peak of the show.

    I will go to bat for the later seasons of Fargo, in particular seasons 3 and 5.
