To me it was a close contest with Better Call Saul on whether it should make my top 10. Decided to throw it in for variety since I've got BB in there already.

I've had to re-do mine because I'm old and can't remember everything anymore.

#2 Battlestar Galactica 2004
#3 Psych
#4 Arrested Development
#5 Stranger Things
#6 The Office (US version)
