Rank your 2016 TV shows throughout the year

Just realized that I forgot another show that ran for a bit in January. And new entry - Penny Dreadful.

  1. Black Sails  S3
  2. Penny Dreadful  S3 - Black Sails has the benefit of knowing the big picture, so it's staying at #1 for now; but it's because of Daredevil's big picture that I put PD above it; Daredevil's first episodes were just as good, or perhaps a bit better than what I've seen so far for PD.
  3. Daredevil  S2
  4. The Expanse  S1
  5. Star Wars Rebels  S2
  6. Limitless  S1
  7. House of Cards  S4
  8. The Blacklist  S3
  9. Grimm  S5
  10. Outlander  S2
  11. Sherlock: The Abominable Bride
  12. Game of Thrones  S6
  13. The Walking Dead  S6
  14. Vikings  S3
  15. Brooklyn 99  S3
  16. Elementary  S4
  17. Agents of SHIELD  S3
  18. The Big Bang Theory  S9
  19. Once Upon A Time  S5
  20. Arrow  S4
  21. Agent Carter  S2
  22. Gotham  S2
  23. Supergirl  S1
  24. The Flash  S2
  25. Legends of Tomorrow  S1
  26. The Shannara Chronicles  S1
  27. Heroes Reborn - this is the one I forgot; terrible show; it started late in 2015, and ended sometime early 2016 so it counts for this list; The Shannara Chronicles at least had an easy to follow plot despite everything else that was wrong with it; this one couldn't even manage that.

2) Peaky Blinders Season 3 (+1)

3) Orphan Black Season 4 (-1)

4) Daredevil Season 2

After the finales of OB and PB I've updated my list. Both were very strong and it was a close thing between second and third. Unless Penny Dreadful completely cocks up their finale next week it won't be budging.

Will be adding OitNB once I've watched that.

Haven't watched a whole lot of TV this year but if I had to rank, and this is just things I've watched all the way through...

  1. Peaky Blinders S3
  2. Better Call Saul S2
  3. Game of Thrones S6
  4. Vikings S4 - Seriously what the fuck happened to this show? I can't believe I'm actually ranking GoT above it but I honestly even enjoyed that more

Watched a little bit of the new Black Sails and Outlander as well. BS I should probably get back to at some point though it felt a bit slow compared to Season 2. Outlander I just kinda got bored with (not the same when its not in Scotland).

Ah, people who watch too much TV and enjoy ranking things in lists. My kinda people! Here's where I'm at so far for 2016. I feel like drama and comedy should be seperate categories, especially since most comedies are 22-30min long while most dramas are 42-60min long. Here are my lists thus far...

Comedies/Half Hour Shows

  1. Star Wars Rebels S2
  2. New Girl – S5
  3. Last Man On Earth – S2
  4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine – S3
  5. Love –S1
  6. Modern Family – S7
  7. Archer – S7
  8. Plebs – S3
  9. Silicon Valley – S3
  10. Veep – S5
  11. Big Bang Theory – S9

Drama/Hour Shows

  1. Game of Thrones S6
  2. Walking Dead, The S6.2
  3. Orange is the New Black S4
  4. Daredevil S2
  5. Agents of SHIELD S3
  6. Downton Abbey S6
  7. Flash S2
  8. Better Call Saul S2
  9. Gotham S2
  10. Banshee S4
  11. Billions S1
  12. Agent Carter S2

^^^Veep is so low on your list!? This season was incredible! 

That's that's a problem with ranking TV shows like this for me--generally I'm not going to finish an entire season of a TV show unless I really like it. So while I did enjoy VEEP S5, I just didn't enjoy it as much as others on my list. The Chinese Camp David talks and eye surgery episodes were damned good. And as always, John Slattery was a homerun.

Agreed!  The Walking Dead above shows like Better Call Saul and Daredevil is pretty suprising too. 

Daredevil S2 was good, but mainly because it was really Punisher Season 0.5. I felt the writers got into Flash melodrama & plot-swiss-cheesiness with Matt and the Hand towards the end of the season. TWD S6 was so damn solid throughout. And say what you will about that finale, but I was talking about it with people for weeks after it aired. 

If I did a TV list for 2015 Saul S1 would be in the Top 3, no doubt, but Saul S2 was a big let down for me compared to S1. I felt like I got 6 episodes worth of story and character development stretched over 10 episodes. :/

These are shows I am watching or will be this year

Won't miss these shows

Game of Thrones  still my favorite show hands down

Better Call Saul season 2 seemed to drag on for me

The Walking Dead   hated the cliff hanger but season was ok

Limitless loved this show and it didn't get renewed, pissed.

The Big Bang Theory

Survivor  good season but not happy with the way it wound up

Hells Kitchen  good season but there were two clear cut favorites

Vikings  half way through the season and it's just ok.

 

I make a point to watch these

Mr. Robot

Masterchef   just started, ok so far. Something I watch recorded whenever I want

Daredevil    haven't started season 2 yet 

House of Cards  see below

Fear the walking dead  this could drop a level pretty easily

Silicon Valley   still a fun show

Preacher  just started this and it's catching on.

 

Barely hanging on

Gotham  life support.  All of these are pretty much done

Blindspot

Quantico

 

Bold is updated, underlined is new addition.

It's really interesting to see what everyone puts on their list.... we all interact with one another here in this forum...  it's kind of like a little insight as to "where we're all coming from" when we respond to each other's posts

You are what you watch :D

But I do admit people on forum influence sometimes what I will watch... I will forever be thankful for forum guys making me watch Sense8, and all the lovely The Good Wife/The Big Bang Theory talk.
