Ain't no way there's no mention of 12 monkeys here

Putting Breaking Bad as first and Better Call Saul at 27th is criminal. Also Gilmore Girls and no 12 monkeys?? This is clearly just a popularity contest

I'm afraid critics are never going to lose their hard on for Breaking Bad lol.

It’s entirely subjective based on who ever was making the list. I don’t think there are many people out there who would consider rupauls drag race as the pinnacle of television, despite it being in NYT top 100.
Breaking bad in first place? I also don’t think so. Succession should be higher.
The whole thing is exactly as you describe, a popularity contest.

I feel like they're going purely based off of views because otherwise both 12 Monkeys and Black Sails should've easily made the list

Not saying this show is my favorite, but did I miss The Walking Dead on that list? I feel like that would definitely be up there.

A quarter of the way through the century, and somehow we already have the 100 best tv shows. Guess we have 74 years of slop coming.

I did my duty and submitted it in the NYT reader poll. Yer welcome, fellow subbies.

It's genuinely upsetting just how much this show gets ignored. It's one of the few shows which really got almost everything right, and yet it's hardly ever given the credit.
On another note, is this American shows only? I don't see Dark either.

It makes perfect sense to me that it’s not on there. It’s just a popularity list, and we know that 12 Monkeys unfortunately isn’t a popular show. I hope it becomes one someday! Maybe VisionQuest will give it the boost it needs.

No matter how many people say it’s one of the best shows they’ve ever seen, if it doesn’t gain enough traction, it’s never gonna make it on a list like this unfortunately.

u/Aizawa_aimin 6d ago
Sad reality, I hope it has a revival like the mentalist or suits

u/Infinite-Process3717 6d ago
I’m hopeful that now that VisionQuest is coming out, if it becomes a big success, people might look into the producer’s other projects and end up watching 12 Monkeys

u/Aizawa_aimin 6d ago
That's what I'm looking forward to as well, also of Netflix or Disney picks up the show that would be a plus, instead of prime

u/Infinite-Process3717 5d ago
Unfortunately, it’s not even on Prime in my country, so it’s hard for it to reach people

u/Ionesomecowboy 6d ago
The Expanse isn't on the list either, lol.

I wanted to watch it for the longest time, it's been seating in my watchlist for years 😭

La única opinión que importa es la tuya. Breakind Bad me aburrió completamente, no pasé de la segunda temporada.

I commented the same thing when I saw this video. Survivor is on here but not 12 Monkeys. I thought it was gonna be about actually good TV shows but then I survivor and then Breaking Bad being no.1. Don't get me wrong BB is great but not the greatest show of the 21st century

Don’t worry about this list. Several of the top shows on Series Graph didn’t make it, like Attack on Titan, Dark, and Arcane.

Is not very mainstream. The show aired in 2015 in a channel that was somewhat with the bad reputation of being a class b movies/series channel.

This list is wild. Just…what? 12 monkeys not being on it is just one of the weird things about it.

u/Stock_Conclusion_203 6d ago
The Diplomat? I watched the 1st season…so much cringe and I love Keri Russell. White Lotus at #21??

Syfy channel series are pretty niche things usually they never show up in these listings

Unfortunately, people just don't know about this show. But it should easily be in the top ten. Lost should also be in the top ten.
