Seeing such incredible quality shows not even making the Top 10 is really hammering home that goddamn there was some great television this decade!

BetterLekNextTime posted:A beautiful, weird show that somehow defied every guess of what I thought would happen and simultaneously felt like every scene was tapping directly into my expectation and nostalgia. What a gift from David Lynch. Heavy Metal posted:I don't know what it is about his vision that makes me love his stuff so much, but he is the definitive surreal filmmaker in our lifetime I'd say. And his particular blend of idiosyncrasies is just really up my alley. Jerusalem posted:For 18 episodes it fascinated, it drew me in, it enthralled me, it offered me tantalizing glimpses of answers before instead offering new questions. I feel like Lynch showed up after 25+ years to simply demonstrate once again that television can and will lift to greater heights than it has before.

I love all the weird little moments where they suddenly had to do what must have been a logistical nightmare, like "ok hey we have to cast about 90 different people to all play Eleanor in this one 3-minute scene. Also Janet, you get to do impressions of every other character, GO"

That's right, we're down to the Top 2. In case you haven't been paying attention, that means that Vince Gilligan is unquestioningly the king of loving TV (at least for the 2010s). BUT WHICH WILL IT BE??????????????

That Carousel scene from Mad Men hits even harder knowing where the show goes and what happens (and I haven't even finished my first watch of the show yet, I'm only up to season 6!), just an absolutely incredible scene.
