Sons of Anarchy Samcrow forever 😎🖤☠️🏍️
If this is what you think are the best tv series of the century so far you and I have different ideas of what good television is. I would rather watch dramas like NCIS and all the law & Order shows and shows like that plus Gilmore Girls and Smallville.
This is Us!
If lethal weapon isn’t on here I’ll be mad
The fact the 100 isn't on this list makes it invalid let alone the fact the office should be at least top 5 also where is how I met your mother come on this list isn't relevant I mean how I met your mother is like top 3 favorite shows of all time including live and animation
Better Call Saul is criminally absent
I'm rewatching it now. The fact that it or The Wire never received a single emmy is testament that the emmies are a load of £%^&
@@fuzzydunlop1988 The Always Sunny episode where they try to solicit awards tore the Emmys a new arsehole ... with good cause.
Facts. Better than at least 28 of these
Are you guys gonna post this on every video.
Like comeon
My guess is because they have Breaking Bad and they’re in the same universe, because it easily should have made the list. 👍👍
I declare this list incomplete...by order of the Peaky Blinders!!!
Peaky Fookin Blinders
Also The Outlander
And the Downton Abbey
Overrated show
@@eagleman5138 I would say it's underrated.
30. Fargo
29. Veep
28. The handmaid's tale
27. The marvelous Mrs. Maisel
26. Chappelle's show
25. Schitt's creek
24. Sons of Arnarchy
23. It's always sunny in Philadelphia
22. The bear
21. The good place
20. Stranger things
19. Six feet under
18. Barry
17. 30 Rock
16. The west wing
15. Deadwood
14. The Boys
13. The office
12. The americans
11. Fleabag
10. Curb your enthusiasm
09. Atlanta
08. Lost
07. Game of thrones
06. The leftovers
05. Succession
04. Mad men
03. The wire
02. Breaking bad
01. The Sopranos
I give you alot of credit for taking on this list... There are SOOOOO many great shows over the last quarter century... Youre absolutely going to miss many that loads of people loved. I think the list contains mostly awesome shows and even though it does miss some, its definitely got a mix of critically acclaimed shows to popular shows. Great job!!
Game of Thrones was truly a phenomenon back then. The first four seasons were just brilliant.
Mad Men and Succession also make my Top 5 as well as House of Cards that deserved to be mentioned here.
Thank you. So mamy people i talk to only rhink the dinal season is bad. I cant believe people went into season 8 with high hopes after the fall in quality of seasons 7, 6, and half of 5.
@@crobeastnesssix had some of the best moments and episodes in television history. The other three I agree with though
@@raymondsims7042 you're right actually. Battle of the bastard was in 6
@@crobeastness and hold the door and winds of winter😂😂it was an insane season Cant mix it with seven and eight
Season 6 is great
Where the hell is better call saul ? it should've been atleast in the top 10 and not just a mention
Agreed with 30 spots it should have easily made the list one of the best shows of all time, it's crazy it's missing
I know this might be a wild opinion. But, there are times when I think Saul is slightly better than the original.
@@namqtran112completely agree with you. It has its moments where it built up the surrounding characters better than BB at least imo. Both are truly incredible though!
Better call saul is a crap show
@@joeydrakeramoray1324you must have stopped at season 1.
No mention of Dr. House is a disgrace... also Dexter, it may have ended badly, but the first 4 seasons themselves are deserving of being on this list
Love House, but it's the same thing every episode definitely not top 30
_Stranger Things,_ _Better Call Saul,_ _Breaking Bad,_ _Game of Thrones,_ and _The Office_ are arguably some of the best shows for anyone looking for a new one. The later seasons of the latter two are debatably less than ideal, but there are some great moments in them.
fully agreed
the thing is that the office is not massive at all outside the US. you know the world out there that actually exists
where on blue hell is BETTER CALL SAUL ?
WHAT A SICK JOKE!
Are you telling me that watchmojo happens to not put BCS on this list? NO! HE ORCHESTRATED IT! JIMMY!
Not our dear jimmy@@nerdgeekman
i should have stopped this list when i had the chance. you have to stop them. you.....
'House of Cards' I know that because of its main star it's typically not mentioned anymore., but that show was the epitome of when Netflix had a great stride with original programming.
How Better Call Saul and Mr. Robot are missing on this list is beyond me
mr. robot is so underated
It seriously baffles me how Mr. Robot continues to be overlooked time after time.
@@redveil19agreed mr robot is top five ever for me
@@ashperera3162I really don’t get it either mate it never makes these stupid list and I really don’t understand why. It’s a top five show for me
I agree on Mr.Robot
I think that the first season of Fargo is some of the best TV ever made. Billy Bob Thornton as Lorne Malvo will go down for me as one of the greatest villains in any medium of entertainment!
While I enjoyed the writing and cat and mouse aspect of the show. The villain "Lorne Malvo" or whatever his name was, so unrealistic, going inside a ln entire building killing people and coming out with no consequence , and happened so much that it kind of felt like a joke by the end, was he a human or some spiritual entity. Unreasonable aspect of it really took me out of it!!
Yes, better than the film too.
@@FuturePast2019 That's a pretty bold statement. But honestly, I think I agree with you. FANTASTIC show!
I think True Detective season one should be counted as its own show.
Season 1 regardless of the other seasons should give it a spot on this list. As close to perfect as you can get.
Definitely because season 4 ruin the whole series
Season one = world-class acting vs sillly tired "superhuman serial killer" plot.
It technically is since the rest of the seasons are nonsense
It’s cool you put Sons of Anarchy on here. It was a great show. It does get the Props it deserves.
I kind of feel like Boardwalk Empire deserves to be on a list like this somewhere. I also wouldn't have Lost on my personal list. The cliffhangers kept me watching, but most of the time, the resolutions were disappointing. It was kind of frustrating because it was good and bad at the same time.
Cannot believe you omitted Arrested Development! The writing (at least for the first 3 seasons) is possibly the most complex and interesting of any show aired, with interwoven layers of plot, dialogue and character that have not been bettered. Likewise, its use of sound fx, music and audio cues is one-of-a-kind.
I agree first 3 seasons were great. The rest, however, just got worse and worse
Great show.
it shat the bed thats why
I was gonna be unsatisfied with this list due to the lack of mention of Severance, but changed my mind when The Leftovers was surprisingly included. Criminally underrated television. Thank you for including it.
As always Watch MOJO you never fail to disappoint....
Breaking Bad is probably the only show where every single episode is amazing.
Fly
@@DERRTYCHYBO🤡🤡🤡
@@DERRTYCHYBO It's still pretty great. There are worse episodes imo
Except the super cringe episode where skylar singing happy birthday to ted. That was cringe af
@@Vikturus22fair point lol. I forgot that until I read your comment. Awful
No Dexter? The first four seasons are literally masterpieces that couldn't be made again.
Agreed!!
Frrr
True. Why is Barry on the list... Yes, based on season 1 and 2.
meh
These are the exact 30 shows in the exact order I would put them in. Amazing!
Not having Mr. Robot and Better Call Saul on the list is beyond travesty. Both are easily top 10 shows oat.
24, Dexter, Prison Break, The Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead is absolute d0g$h1t
Friends, Peaky Blinders, The White Lotus.
Mr Robot, mind-bending, rule-breaking spectacular show...otherwise, great list with a couple of very interesting suggestions!! Thanks for this list!!
The Wire is 100% the Goat of TV shows. #1 The Wire/ #2 The Sopranos/ #3 The Walking Dead/ #4 Breaking Bad/ #5 Power/ #6 Stranger Things/ #7 Atlanta/ #8 Banshee/ #9 Better Call Saul/ #10 Everybody Hates Chris
The Walking Dead got waaaay too much hate. It was incredible.
Thank you 👍🏾
@@ninerempire8237right with you on the wire!!! My top ten would be
1. The wire
2, game of thrones
3. Six feet under
4. Mr robot
5. Dark
6. The boys
7. Breaking bad
8. Succession
9. The Americans
10. Yellowstone
Honorable mentions
Stranger things
Sopranos
Mad men
Bcs
Ozark
Dexter
The shield ( only on seasons five but this show is great and can easily be top ten)
Nice 👍🏾 there are actually a couple of those that I have never seen. Gotta check them out now though, thanks ✊🏾
@@ninerempire8237 stay up🙏
The Expanse, Fringe, Battlestar Galactica, Legion, Justified, Oz, True Detective, Carnivale, Farscape, Sweet Tooth, Outer Range, Archer, Devs, I Know This Much is True, Preacher, The Third Day, Years and Years, Watchmen, Community, and many more would like a word.
Ted Lasso
I agree on Devs. An underrated and not well known or viewed. May have been to smart for most people.
Thank you for mentioning the truly profound Battlestar.
The Expanse and Oz -- good call on both!
For me, 24 was the show that started my tv obsession...
How is Vikings not on this list? I loved Breaking Bad and it was my favorite series I’d ever seen until I watched Vikings.
peaky blinders should be here
Person of Interest and Black Sails are SO underrated.
Shameless?
Cool list
Missed Ozark 🤷🏻♂️
Me to but im going to watch it tho cuz I heard that show was the shit
Naaaaaahhhhh.
@@renahawkins4582Ozark is amazing!!!!
one of the best shows
@@renahawkins4582 It's a good show, but nowhere close to the top 30 of the century.
It appears that mini-series are not considered in the list of shows? The intro mentioned that some were not in consideration but did not say anything about limited or mini series. Because “Band of Brothers” most definitely should be number one for dozens of reasons.
How did 24 not make the cut? Jack Bauer’s coming for you!!!
Because 24 sucks and is not better than these 30 shows
My rough top 10:
1. Mad Men
2. The Wire
3. The Leftovers
4. Ripper Street
5. Mr. Robot
6. The Last Kingdom
7. Lost
8. Sherlock
9. Game of Thrones
10. Medici
Where is Succession??
Ripper Street 👍
@@jimmymurphy898what’s your top ten mine is in these comments.
You really don’t have The Sopranos in your top TEN?
@@anthonyabate2248 I’ve got it too fifteen but not top ten although it certainly has a case for being anywhere from 8-15
The Sopranos started in 99 but it ended in the aughts. It better be number 1
Edit! Awesome job Mojo!
The sopranos is absolutely amazing but the best show ever is the wire
I am surprised that Friday Night Lights wasn't mentioned. Terrible oversight.
Proving yet again that lists are subjective and useless.
Wish The Shield was on here
Vic Mackey was one of the most iconic characters of all time.
I’m watching that rn we’re on season five and it’s absolutely incredible so far!!! It has the potential to make my top ten shows and I agree Mackey is one of my favorite characters ever already.
There are tons of shows that could have been put on this list, but how does Community not make an appearance at all?
I wonder if at the end of the century any of these would still make the list.
Thanks for the entertaining video! I have just one thing to add: it is englo English in engloland (except for GOT which is basically… England. I have one foreign example:”dark “ which is far better than most shows of this list. You also have “un village français “, Medici (in English but co produced by an Italian producer and most underrated tv show ever), etc. The video should be called the best US/UK TV shows
There is stranger things on this list but no mention of boardwalk Empire and better call saul . Great list
Would it be possible for yall to put the breakups of each show on the videos it would help a lot for rewatching
Like the times I hope yk what I mean
My 6 favorite shows of this century: 1.Fargo Season 2,
2. Twin Peaks The Return,
3. Breaking Bad,
4. True Detective Season 1,
5.Gooische Vrouwen (Dutch television show really funny)
6. Arrested Development
My top six
1. The wire
2. Game of thrones
3. Six feet under
4. Mr robot
5. Dark
6. The boys
I bet I watched all of Six Feet Under about 35 times at least. And I hope to watch it another 35 bc never in my life, has a show made me feel so much for the characters. I don't care how tough a person you are, you will break out crying every other episode. That's after laughing and grinning and just listening. A show will never touch me like this show has.
How could you forget such great shows as Downtown Abby, Degrassi, and 16 and Pregnant
It's gonna be The Bold Type,i did the first two years,and after that it overstayed it's welcome,but watching the final season is amazing.but number one is gotta be The Good Doctor.honorable mention Scorpion Life In Pieces American Housewife.
Leaving Sherlock out is criminal
Respect for SOMEONE giving Six Feet Under their flowers.
My favorite show of all time. It's outstanding.
@@smoothplezing Mine too. The rest of those, with the exception of The Sopranos and Mad Men, don't even come close to what it did
@@yoanastoyanova I think I'd add Deadwood, Better Call Saul, The Handmaid's Tale, Fargo, Downtown Abbey and The West Wing to that list. But it's rarified air no doubt.
It should’ve been way higher it’s top three for me
@@smoothplezingabsolutely phenomenal with the best ending of all time. Top 3 show ever for me
Modern family has more than 20 Emmy wins. Sooo where is it??
They said no cartoons or reality shows
Have you seen one episode of Modern Family? @@Walnuts10
Even though I didn't expect to see them, my personal list would have included : Suits, Gotham, One Tree Hill, and The Good Doctor
Fleabag is anything but heartwarming, did you even watch it?
The first season of 'Heroes' was amazing
Strange how Chapelle's show suddenly appears in this list now that he is so famous, but a few years ago in al the top 10 best shows of Mojo his show was nowhere to be found.
It was ranked in the late 20s on this Top 30 list so maybe that's why you didn't see it on these Top 10 lists you speak of. Nothing strange about it if you have a basic understanding of numbers.
Surprising how many I've never even heard of much less watched
Based on this list..The Walking Dead isn’t considered a tv show🤔🤔🤔
Thats what im saying
Shows I would have in my list.
Better Call Saul
True Detective (S1)
Modern Family (not sure how this doesn’t make the cut seeing that it was one of the most watched shows in the past decade with multiple Emmy wins and nominations)
So many great shows!!!I'm a TV junkie and I've seen 75%or more of this list. Top 3 is spot on!! I would have loved to see Dexter at least somewhere in 20-30. Also the German Netflix series Dark is easily in my top five favorite of all time. I understand why it's not on the list it's slightly lesser known
I’ve only seen Stranger Things all the way through, as well as Lost and Game Of Thrones, I’ve seen bits of The Chappelle Show and first season of Mad Men. I’ve only seen the first few episodes of Deadwood the first season that is.
I'm surprised Homeland didn't make the list.
Some Shows that I would Personally add to my List would be Dexter, How I met your Mother, Brookyln 99, The Vampire Diares,The Flash, Arrow, Chuck, Kenny vs Spenny, Parks and Rec, The Originals, Scrubs, Gotham and Prison break
I love you mojo but please correct the segment about Dave Chappells reasoning for leaving 50M on the table and not returning for the 3rd season. It’s been heavily documented why he did not return, along with interviews with Dave on the reasoning. It was not due to frame, production, or creative quality but simply due to the disrespect he was receiving from the studio, from money and creative control.
I really hope your team corrects this narrative because it’s the same narrative Hollywood pushed out when he left to Africa to take a break. Saying his mental health was declining due to substances.
Please correct that false narrative.
West Wing was the best series ever written for TV. It lost something when Aaron Sorkin left, but was still excellent. It deserved to be higher up on your list.
Succession is my favorite show ever. Absolute masterpiece.
What's good about it?
The top three are spot on.
Wow Amazing
My favourite comedy show of all time: The good place. I love Michael's humour, the hilarious dumbness of Jason and the constant name dropping of Tahani
Although Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Santa Clarita diet are good too.
But all time BEST ever, Ghosts UK version
Lots of misses, but one I haven’t seen, Everybody Loves Raymond. That was a powerhouse in early 2000’s week night comedy.
Better Call Saul and The Walking Dead are missing
No Dexter?? 😡😡😡
Absolutely shameful
I was so mad when the video ended and Dexter wasn’t on the list 😭
@@Bianca-xi4to yeah that was nuts I get it fell off a lot but come on not even top thirty?
@@raymondsims7042 I mean it deserves at least top ten in my opinion, did it actually fall off? What do you mean by that
@@Bianca-xi4to oh yeah it definitely fell off after season 4. Dexter was Still very entertaining but nowhere near as well written or consistent as the first four seasons. Then it has two horrible endings
29:49 so true.. nothing even close…
No Hannibal?!?💔
Sht was trash couldn’t stand the protagonist. I rather watch prison break
That’s rude and we all know what happens to rude people
Where is "This is Us"? Truly one of my favorite shows of all times ❤
masterpiece. i wish it could have went on. the only problem was that the young versions of the actors were getting older, it really is a shame that it didn't go on.
No Peaky Blinders?
Peaky Fookin Blinders!
Darn, already watched ever single ine of these shows, was hoping for something new to watch.
What were your top three favorites?
Now watch The Expanse
Many great shows that were missing from this list are Gotham, Daredevil, Punisher, Power, Prison Break, Vikings, Chernobyl, Shield, Scorpion, Mr robot, True detective Season 1, OZ all some of my favorite shows definitely entertaining as heck
The Leftovers is the most overlooked tv show of the century
I skipped through most of the list but that one caught my attention. Gonna have to check it out.
It sucks
@@aidanlastname0187dang why do you think so?😂
@@aidanlastname0187 I agree.
How TF is Prisonbreak and Power not on this list ??
Prisonbreak was even more of a phenomenon than lost and Power is basically breaking bad on steroids. I expected a generic list from watch mojo and other than the top 2 which are the greatest in whichever way you wanna shuffle them, everything else on this list is casually appealing at best.
Rebecca and Ryan are the OG WatchMojo voices. They are WatchMojo.
I never got in to the hand maid tale
the office not being in the top 5 is wild
Prison Break not top 5 is wild
Seriously Mr robot is like top 5 shows oat in terms of quality why the fck its so underated on this channel???
Louder for the people at the back. The most criminally underrated show in history
I keep hearing about this show. I’m going to check it out thanks
The watcher is the best , Desperate Housewives ,Good girls, Wednesday, Night Agent too
Gods, this list is FRAKKED
I agree with the number one list
Some cartoons have actual scripts. They deserve to be considered.
No Arrested Development? No Better Call Saul? Leftovers in the top 30? Sopranos better than The Wire? WatchMojo needs to change its name to SmokingCracko.
Here are my top 5:
1. Better call Saul and the Wire tied
2. Breaking Bad and Broadway Empire tied
3. Lost
4. Sopranos
5. Game of Thrones
Dude if you liked game of thrones, man you should watch “the last kingdom” literally so underrated and so good just stick through the first couple episodes and you’ll be hooked
****GASP****You left of my original TV boyfriend Jack Bauer in 24 and my current TV boyfriend, Rip Wheeler, in Yellowstone??? What kind of cockamaney list is this? SOA should definitely be on here, but so should the Shield. You also left of the Walking Dead, Homeland, Jack Reacher, Jack Ryan, and Dexter?? Really??
Wait, actually?!?!?! No Better Call Saul, Dark, The Crown, Mindhunter, Boardwalk Empire?
yeah, i always thought the leftovers was pretty underrated
just finished barry and its so good. breaking bad, game of thrones, better call saul, barry, leftovers. best tv shows
You're crazy for not including Better Call Saul in this Top 50. It had some of the best writing of anything on television.
Thank you for putting The Wire up so high. Thank you.
It should’ve been number one
"Flea Bag", "The Americans" (wow!), "Game of Thrones" and "Breaking Bad". I can't pick just one 😁
Game of thrones first 4seasons are truly in a league of there own up there with LOTR as monumental achievement in fantasy and cinima
Thought Suits or Boston Legal would have made it here
No Supernatural? No Yellowstone? No Better Call Saul? No 24? Who made this list???
24 should’ve been #24
