'Mad Men' (AMC) - 25 Best TV Shows of 2015 | Rolling Stone

 

[Weezy]

Catastrophe from Amazon was great. I haven't seen all of those, but Catastrophe is up the with You're the Worst, probably higher.

 

[BenGrimm]

Granted I haven't watched most of that list but it is hard to believe Narcos is last.

 

[kev20]

if we've learned anything in life, we've learned that rolling stone is notoriously horrible at lists.
broad city sucks so much ass! stupid as hell!

 

[n_huffhines]

Golden age of TV, IMO.

Can't believe Hannibal and Empire are that high. Are they really that good?

Also, Orange is the New Black was terrible this season. Loved the first season, season 2 was OK, and quit after 3 episodes this year. Jenji Kohan created Weeds, which notoriously nose-dived after 4 seasons or so. She hastened the process, this time.

Can't speak to Empire, but Hannibal was fantastic.

Also, Orange is the New Black was terrible this season. Loved the first season, season 2 was OK, and quit after 3 episodes this year. Jenji Kohan created Weeds, which notoriously nose-dived after 4 seasons or so. She hastened the process, this time.

Season 3 started off weak but got better as it went. They've set themselves up for a strong 4th season if they handle it right.

 

[BigOrange15]

Man In The High Castle needs to be on there.

 

[UTCVol]

I can't stand Broad City, but the other ones in the top 4 were incredible this year. John Oliver, Empire, and OITNB are too high. Narcos and Bloodline are too low.

Golden age of TV, IMO.

Hannibal is (well, was) the best show on network TV by a landslide.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

I've only seen like (2) on that list and heard of maybe (5) total.

Then again I don't consider half of them as TV shows. When I can't sit down and turn on the TV/Satellite and watch it without having to hook up to the internet to see it. Then its not TV! IMO!

 

[BadJerry20]

Agree Justified and Blacklist should be on there for sure, Mr Robot is really good BTW.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I'm watching the crap stuff, I guess. Too many Marvel, DC shows - Arrow, Flash, AOS, Gotham.

Several of the Netflix series listed are on My List to watch (Narcos, Bloodline, Jessica Jones). I have Halt & Catch Fire on Netflix as well.

House of Cards not on their list either. I haven't watched Season 3 yet so maybe it wasn't deserving.

 

[PowerT83]

Fargo and Mr. Robot are my favorites this year.

 

[BigOrange15]

A few good ones were left off, Man In The High Castle, Daredevil, and House of Cards being just a few.

****ing Nerd. Actually we watch a lot of similar stuff, fwiw I think you would enjoy Mr. Robot.

I liked the first few episodes then it started to suck so I stopped. Did it get better?

Same here

 

[tumscalcium]

I have several issues with their 25. But the most glaring is how low Narcos is.

It slowed a couple episodes but picked back up. IMO

Hmm. I may check it out again. It just slowed and stalled too much for me.

Haven't watched Jessica Jones yet, but I'll be impressed if it's as good as Daredevil.

I'm about to start Man in the High Castle. Usually love alternate history stuff so it sounds right up my alley.

 

[BadJerry20]

Hmm. I may check it out again. It just slowed and stalled too much for me.

I had stopped watching, and a friend told me it had picked back up. It definitely had a bad 3 weeks after an amazing pilot and 2-3 really good episodes.

Was it Carl?

 

[n_huffhines]

Man in High Castle was pretty good. There are better shows that didn't make the list, IMO.

Only friend I got.
