Pretty surprising stuff there already. Like @Midnight ranked ahead of stuff like Mythic Quest and Search Party where I would have expected more recency bias.

You got to remember, at this point, it just takes one person placing something slightly higher than someone else on their list and it's going to result in a drastically different place.

I'd imagine shows like Search Party and Mythic Quest have been represented well in the yearly threads that people didn't feel the need to spotlight them here, that's certainly how I felt when considering shows like Succession for my list. It was top 3 on my list last year, and will probably be first on my list this year but I didn't nominate it for this poll.

Welcome Goons! It's time to begin the official countdown of TVIVs best of the decade poll. Thankyou all for your contributions, this has been a lot of fun. For the three of you that are watching this in real time, welcome aboard! I've been in COVID isolation for almost three weeks now, so this has been a good distraction. A couple of tidbits before we begin:

  • Please take the time after the poll to read peoples full nomination submissions for any shows that you think might interest you. Some people went to a lot of effort, so I'd like to give them a shout out and ensure their efforts didn't go to waste. They're certainly a lot more detailed than any commentary I'll be providing as the list is revealed, as I'll pretty much be doing it in real time.
  • Click the show banners for video tidbits. These were a pain to do, and my YT recommendations are probably going to go to poo poo now, so please watch. These obviously contain spoilers, but I've tried to keep them relatively minor. There are shows on this list that I've not seen though, so I can't guarantee that's the case for everything.

Let the poll begin
