Well, do you rank, for example, OUAT Season 5 and OUAT Season 6 separately or together? I was thinking doing the rankings by seasons...

 

Yes, by seasons. After all we're all mentioning the respective seasons. Though I have a feeling that for most of the ones that fit that criteria on my list it will be Name S2/S3 as an example.

I'm actually quite enjoying both of these.  Neither is going to win any awards, but they're both worth a look.  I might not be the best judge though, because if I have a type I woman that I prefer, both Abigail Spencer and Peyton List would be it.

Are we only counting shows that came out this year?

So far I'd say:

1) Daredevil (although that will probably go down as the year goes on)
2)Love (really enjoyed this little series)
3) Better Call Saul (struggling to get through it, but still recognise that its good)
4) Vikings season 4 (pretty crappy really, but still partly enjoyable)
5) Walking Dead ( surprised this is behind Vikings, but its such a drudge half the time)
6) Master of None (liked it, but its still a less good Louis)
 

Thought I'd update mine seeing as I've seemingly watched a lot of shows this year:

The good

1) Halt and Catch fire S3 - Absolute hidden gem of a show that nobody talks about, beautifully acted.
2) Black Sails S3 - I'm so surprised how much I ended up loving this show.
3) Game of Thrones - Despite its flaws its still the show I look forward to the most.
4) Daredevil - 2/3rds of it were amazing, mostly the punisher bits.. then it just lost it.
5) Love - I got completely hooked on these two lovebirds.. it felt very real to me.
6) Stranger Things - I lay into this show a bit because the love for it is out of touch with its actual quality, but its still very good.
7) The Crown - Not the sort of thing I'd usually watch but I have to say it was very well made
8) Westworld - Its not finished yet but so far I'm ranking it highly
9) Flowers - Quirky UK comedy featuring Julian Barratt.
10) Man in High Castle - A bit of a clunker but had enough in it to make me want to finish it.

The unfinishables (good but not good enough to keep me hooked)
11) Better Call Saul - Never finished it.. but it was good, if slow
12) Luke Cage - Started strongly, but went nowhere.
13) Penny Dreadful - I will get to the end of it I promise
14) Master of None - Good, but somehow never connected with me
15) Walking Dead - A real struggle to maintain interest, especially after fakeout death.
16) Jessica Jones - Ok I did finish it, but it took real perseverance.
17) Ash vs Evil Dead - I hate that I couldn't finish it. I WANTED to love it. I wanted to..

The outright turds

18) - Mr Robot - The ultimate 'emperors new clothes', flatters to deceive at every angle. Looks like an amazing, deep and clever show. But actually its spending its time trying to trick you and waste your time.
19) - Vikings S4 - Wow, what a downturn in quality. Unwatchable at times.

Westworld will be near the top once it finishes. Black Mirror blew me away, what an incredible show it is.

Which was your favourite episode? Doesn't seem to be much consensus on which was best, so far as I can tell. I suppose because there was such a variety - really you have drama, romance, war, thriller, mystery' dark comedy....hard to really judge cross-genre. Oops inwaffled again. :P Did you have a favourite?

I enjoyed every episode from season 3 but I'd say either Shut Up and Dance, or Hated in the Nation. Both were outstanding in their own ways and both had pretty impactful endings. I went through all 13 episodes in a few days. I couldn't get enough of it and was sad when I finished. White Christmas was excellent too.

I want to put Westworld at #1 on my list, but there is still the possibility that it will fall flat on its face, so I will wait until the end of the season.

That is smart... I share the sentiment...

I found this thread doing a search for Halt and Catch Fire, which I'm convinced is one of the best shows of the last few years. I had the last season saved on my DVR and just finished it last night, 2 months or so after the end of the season. I loved how they pivoted for the last two episodes and set up the next phase of the story. So refreshing to see a break in formula like that. And also, for those of you that haven't seen the show, you should know that this show features that rarest of creatures, true character growth, which is the overriding theme of season 3.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of ranking stuff where the criteria for evaluation is mostly subjective. So, in no particular order, here are some shows that I give a letter grade of A or A-:

1) Halt and Catch Fire

2) Westworld

3) Fargo (both seasons are great, but season 2 did that rare trick of surpassing the very excellent season 1)

4) The Americans

5) Mr. Robot

 

And here are some that I would give a solid B+:

1) Atlanta

2) Better Things

3) Vikings

4) The Expanse

5) The Last Kingdom

6) Game of Thrones

 

And here are the B and B- shows:

1) The Walking Dead

2) Preacher

3) Falling Water (I'm surprised that I actually like this show)

Updated.

HBO had its best year in years with The Night Of and Westworld both being successful after Thrones ended. (Vice Pricipals was awesome as well imo.) I don't think any of the three HBO dramas on my list were super well written but they were so well done. Like I think The Americans and Better Call Saul were better written seasons than Thrones but the spectacle of some of the big moments in s6 made it far more memorable than the former two imo.
