There can be no slowing down now, friends! We must keep moving forward as we take on step closer to the end of the line.

Problematic Pigeon posted:Takes what could be a goofy, high-concept plot and finds something raw and human. fancy stats posted:Kind of wanting to hang out with the Chechen mob was not a takeaway I expected from a TV show on 2018.  7. BARRY (HBO) NEW ENTRY 50 points, listed 8 times, #1 spot 1 time  BEST ON HBO BEST NEW SHOW With Game of Thrones on hold and Westworld flunking out hard Barry has come in from nowhere to fly the flag for HBO this year. Just don't hang out with the Chechen mob, it's not big and it's not clever.

With just six shows left it is all very much still to play for. The Good Place is going to have to work hard to hold on to its crown with some massive competition left in the running. I'm talking about competition like Better Call Saul. Like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Like Atlanta. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to make it and one show is going to be pushed out of the top 5. Here's your #6...BSam posted:So good and from out of nowhere DivisionPost posted:Basically "more and better," Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:A charming, funny, and well-made show. Problematic Pigeon posted:Effortlessly charming and beautifully constructed and shot. Escobarbarian posted:The charm this season brings is still completely off the chain. X-O posted:Deserves all the awards it has won and probably will still win.  6. THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL (AMAZON) UP 12 56 points, listed 10 times, #1 spot 1 time BEST ON AMAZON While neither of Amazon's big shows could crack the top 5 it's still been a big year for the network and especially for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Finishing at #6 is nothing to be sniffed at but we could see it climb even higher in next year's poll.

And so we stand here at the end of all things. It's come down to this, friends. Your top five favourite shows of 2018 and every one a banger. Will The Good Place have the strength to hold off the competition or will it fall at one of the final hurdles? Well, I'll tell you this much, it isn't your #5...ShakeZula posted:Very compelling. Tenzarin posted:Still going strong. Lost Season posted:The performances are fantastic. achillesforever6 posted:I'm just hear to watch good rear end acting. Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Heartbreaking writing, brilliant editing and music selections for montages, and some of the best acting on television. Arist posted:I forgot this initially and had to edit it in, because I'm stupid. Jerusalem posted:A slow-motion carwreck Escobarbarian posted:The best season yet of maybe the best prequel ever.  5. BETTER CALL SAUL (AMC) NON-MOVER 61 points, listed 10 times BEST ON AMC Oh no! It's heartbreak from Better Call Saul as the perennial bridesmaid holds steady at #5 even though it was only just two points away from making it to third place. But that's just the way the cookie crumbles when the top 5 is this tight! Still, it's another great showing for the most consistent show in your top 10.

I feel based on last season I would’ve possibly #1d Maisel if I’d had chance to see s2 this year. I now kinda wanna know where Bunheads landed, because 6 is a pretty solid showing for an ASP show I think.

Don't fall back, friends! There can be no stopping now when we are this close to the end. Just four shows remain in contention for the title of TV IV's Show of 2018. Will The Good Place take the title for the second year in a row or will it be dethroned? When you've got the likes of American Vandal and Atlanta still in there you know the competition is going to be tough. Here's the show that was just a step off the pace at #4...Arist posted:Shockingly poignant. Lost Season posted:It is absolutely absurd that this show ever worked at all.

It's finally time, friends! After all the celebrations and commiserations we have reached the moment of truth. Atlanta. The Good Place. Two highly deserves shows but only one can take the title of TV IV's Show of 2018. Will it be all the love for Donald Glover or will The Good Place reclaim that special place in your hearts. We're going to find out... now.Escobarbarian posted:Truly unique. Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:You never know what you're going to get. Corte posted:I honestly can't think of a single flaw. fancy stats posted:The show does whatever it wants and nails every single goddamn thing. Arist posted:This show is still so out-there but real and lived-in that I can’t believe it. HorseRenoir posted:Really lives up to the ambition that the first season hinted at. Problematic Pigeon posted:Every adjective you can use to slap on an advertisement for a TV show, like "Original," "Daring," "Engrossing," etc., unironically apply here in full. Jerusalem posted:He can do anything. He can do everything. And he does.  2. ALTANTA (FX) RE-ENTRY 68 points, listed 8 times, #1 spot 3 times BEST CABLE SHOW BEST ON FX Well, there you have it. Atlanta made a huge effort but it wasn't quite enough to take the top spot. And we all know what that leaves for #1 but before we get there let's take moment to honour this bizarre, indescribable and utterly remarkable show.

Atlanta is the best, Atlanta number one. I guess it's oddly fitting that a clerical error has seen The Good Place get the number one spot over Twin Peaks and now Atlanta.

Arist posted:thought as much, good on tgp for being the first-ever two-time winner Nah, Breaking Bad did the double in 2013/14 All right, friends, it's almost time to cheer for TVIV's #1 Show of 2018 but before we get there let's do some cleaning up. First here's the countdown for the year's Top Networks! 10. ABC (47 points) 9. Adult Swim (58 points) 8. The CW (78 points) 7. AMC (104 points) x5=. Amazon (125 points) x5=. HBO (125 points) 4. Syfy (151 points) x3. NBC (155 points) 2. FX (189 points) 1. Netflix (437 points) It's an absolute walk for Netflix as it dominates this year's poll through its sheer wealth of content. Did you realise that 36 different shows from Netflix were named this year? That's more shows than most other networks even produce! Without a flagship show HBO drops in the rankings to be tied for fifth but Amazon continues to slowly build as it breaks into the top 5 for the first time so who knows how this poll will look next year? Of course we must also give out our special goon awards, the first of which is for the Sharpest Clairvoyant which goes to the goon who named the most shows from the top 10. This year the prize goes to... ShakeZula, who predicted a whopping 7 out of 10! Conversely we must also recognise TVIV's Biggest Hipster, the goon who ignored the most of this year's top hits. BSam has had a grip on this title for the last two years but he blew it all by voting for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and in his place the new winner is... Lurdiak! But it's time to focus on the things that really matter. Here it is, friends. Your #1 Show of 2018. fancy stats posted:This show is a goddamn treasure. Corte posted:It finished strong. Lost Season posted:Still running strong. X-O posted:The best network sitcom in I don't know how many years. Escobarbarian posted:It’s still one of the best sitcoms on the air. nate fisher posted:I still love the show. cant cook creole bream posted:Still a fun romp. Regy Rusty posted:It’s agonizing waiting for this to start up again. EL BROMANCE posted:I think this is the only active sitcom on network TV that I'm not even a little bit bored of and wanting to move on from. Arist posted:What the gently caress is this show? HorseRenoir posted:A really unpredictable and fast pace. Fast Luck posted:Always moving very fast and surprising you. Oasx posted:It is incredibly clever and inventive Tiggum posted:Manages to keep reinventing itself. Jerusalem posted:Wherever they go instead is probably going to be utterly enthralling as well. Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Packs more plot development into a single episode than others do in entire seasons. bagrada posted:I don't know how they can keep it up. Andrew_1985 posted:Get on board or get the fork outta the way. Propaganda Machine posted:BORTLES! Rarity posted:Ladies and gentlemen, as evidence I submit to you this gif of a broken down Chidi making chilli:  1. THE GOOD PLACE (NBC) NON-MOVER 142 points, listed 20 times, #1 spot 4 times BEST NETWORK SHOW BEST COMEDY BEST GENRE SHOW BEST ON NBC MOST LISTED MOST #1 SPOTS Yes, as you all must have guessed The Good Place has taken the title of TVIV's Favourite Show for the second year in the row and in doing so it has demolished the competition. Let me just read some stats to you. More #1 finishes than any other show. Over twice as many points as the show in second place. Listed by over 55% of the voters. The Good Place has absolutely crushed it.

Atlanta can be a very different show from episode to episode, and the first one is kinda more generic ‘let’s sell this pilot’ and it improves a lot after that

For those who are curious, if Looten Plunder had got his list in in time it wouldn't have changed too much. Better Call Saul would jump to #3, Barry to #6 and Patriot to #8 while The Terror would have broken through to the top 20.Arist posted:That doesn't make any sense, BrBa finished in 2013 Whoops, I mean 2012/13 in that case.

Wow. Looks like a lot of goons picked up the good place after last years win. I'm not really familiar with a lot of those top ten shows, so I might give this "Atlanta" show a try at some point down the line. Thanks for the effort Rarity it's been a lot of fun!
