I mean, it's probably just that it's down to fans of one or the other, and of course both sides want their show to win. I don't really care, because I haven't seen Fargo yet, but I'm sure it's really good. I saw JJ, and I know it was really good. I don't really care which one wins, but I think it will be super funny if JJ wins just because apparently that would really upset some people, even though this poll measures popularity and not some kind of objective quality.

Which means we know what your number one is! But time enough for that. First, let's just take a moment to look at Jessica Jones, the TV show of 2015 that the most people put in their top 10. In fact, it was listed by a full 50% of those who submitted valid lists! Is Jessica Jones a flawed show? Absolutely. It just goes to prove, you don't need to be perfect to be loved.

Ok, I got to take off my presenter hat for a second and just say I am so, so happy with this result. Jessica Jones gets tons of negatives thrown its way (about half of those are deserved) and I figured that meant it would never get so high in the final list. In fact, for the first 1/3rd of the voting it was actually in the lead and while it fell off the pace towards the end it still held out strong and that's awesome.

This is it, friends. Time to crown the TV IV #1 Show of 2015! But before we do that, there's just a couple of orders of business we need to take care of. First, let's take a look at the Top 10 Networks of 2015!

10. ABC (118 points)
9. NBC (136 points)
8. USA (148 points)
7. CBS (180 points)
6. Comedy Central (197 points)
5. AMC (261 points)
4. The CW (317 points)
3. HBO (335 points)
2. FX (392 points)
1. Netflix (682 points)

In a stunning reversal of fortunes Netflix has turned around the slump of the last couple of years to absolutely dominate this year's Network Chart. Marvel's double punch and Sense8 were the big point earners but their constant stream of original content meant that Netflix featured throughout our chart from top to bottom. Meanwhile, HBO and FX continue to be strong contenders while AMC showed it relies far too much on Vince Gilligan by returning to form with Better Call Saul. And let's hear some love to Comedy Central, putting in a strong showing thanks to a collection of niche comedies with cult followings. However, the other major story here is the death of the Big 4 networks. Outclassed by the CW and each relying on one or two main players to score their points, it seems like they're behind the times and behind in favour. Fox didn't even make the top 10!

And now for two of our most loved awards. The first trophy going out is the Hippest Goon on All The Web Award.rewarded to the goon with their finger most on the TV IV pulse as shown by including more Top 10 shows in their list than any other. And the award goes to... Zythrst!

But for every winner there must be a loser and so we present the Old Fogey Wooden Spoon to the goon most out of touch with the modern voter. Would you believe this goon didn't even list one single show from the Top 12? And that unfortunate soul is... Shneak!

But enough preamble. I know why you're really here. This is the moment you've been waiting for. This is your Number One Show of 2015!
