December 21, 2023 - It notched Showtime’s only best series Emmy win ever, and was the culmination of a notably strong era for the cabler, built around shows like “Weeds” and “Nurse Jackie” that featured complicated female antiheroes. And you don’t get much more complicated than Carrie Mathison. ... Bravo 2006-present As a genre, reality has a largely lowbrow reputation. Not so with “Top Chef,” the Bravo tentpole that’s evolved over 20 seasons into the Rolls-Royce of food television.

February 2, 2025 - Although often criticized during and after its time on-air for engaging in stereotypes (among other reasons), “The Big Bang Theory” still has a broad appeal and plenty of devoted fans. Its record-setting run for a sitcom and level of success were enough to earn it spin-offs and a place in pop culture. And now for the real #20…Bazinga! Perhaps the most popular and recognizable anthology series of all time, “The Twilight Zone” tells a different fantasy, sci-fi, and/or horror story every episode.

Top 20 AMC Original Series Ranked: From Mad Men to Breaking Bad
1 month ago - One of the best-rated vampire shows on TV, Firebite is underpinned by a brilliantly original premise and a setting that’s underrepresented even within its native Australia. The allegorical intent behind the show’s bloodsucking monsters doesn’t always land, but it’s remarkably powerful nonetheless, in terms of both horror and history.

Featuring a lineup of awesome dramas, mysteries, and thrillers, Alfred Hitchcock Presents capitalized on the host and auteur’s penchant for suspenseful tales filled with dark twists and turns, giving us one of the most successful anthology series of all time. With a “who’s who” list of writers, directors, and stars, each episode would take us into a macabre, unsettling realm where no one was safe. Hitchcock, being personally involved, would even direct 20 episodes of the show over the course of its run.
