This is bullshit. The 21st century isn't even over yet.
So apparently, the 21st Century is already over, and pretty much every good show is made in English. Got it.
I've haven't seen the vast majority of these so I can't speak for their quality.
Some I've started but haven't finished and the quality varies drastically.
I've only seen four of these to completion (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Mare of Easttown and Baby Reindeer) only two of which (Breaking Bad and Mad Men) I would recommend.
But the biggest questions on my mind: why would you compile such a list when there's still 8 decades left in this century? Will television as a medium still exit in 2101?
If you liked Breaking Bad, I think you should give Better Call Saul a chance. It's slower but well-written and the direction is very high level.

No anime on the list means they're just uncultured.
It's intentionally sorted like ass for engagement
Hmm, no wonder I haven’t watched much TV in years.
Battlestar Galactica didn't even make the top 100?
Edit: NVM, it's #37 lol
Game of....what again?....
Something about a cold season approaching? Can't really seem to remember....

I'm curious how they made the list... It couldn't have been just some intern / writer putting down their top 100? There had to be some sort of stats involved no? Like number of people watching? Number of weekly watchers? Impact on online discussions? I don't see what state it could have been which would have ignored so many other shows.
BoJack is such an amazing series and I never want to watch it again
That shit hurt me in a way no media ever has

lost is far too low for how invaluable to the way television is today it is. one of the most influential pieces of media ever. it should be top 10 without question

I was discussing this list with my wife yesterday - from the other comments we've watched more than the average person here. I'd say we've seen 4 out of every 5 shows at least one season and probably finished about 20% of them (with minor exceptions like spin offs or movies or new seasons in the last few years with a hiatus).
What struck me was the inclusion of Suvivor and Ru Paul - I don't doubt their cultural impact and significance, nor their importance towards their fans - but as a mark of quality of what a TV experience can be, considering performances, risk-taking, writing depth, cinematography, music, costuming, editing, props design, imagination and ingenuity - I wouldn't have included those in the Top 100.

Orphan Black not being there should be a crime
So, like,
How come they're all in English?
Squid Game at 72 isn't, but as far as I can tell, it's the only non-English show on there.
It's from an English language publisher?

The Good Place should be ranked 1st because the list is subjective and I disagree with it, also I haven't watched most of these shows. Community would be in 2nd place.
