But the entire point of Don’t Trust the B— was to warp and subvert standard “fish out of water” and hangout sitcom tropes. The show also remained incredibly interesting and stylish, and introduced us to a host of interesting new characters and dilemmas for our core duo to face. Eligibility: Series had to premiere or air a majority of episodes after January 1st, 2010 and before August 31st, 2019 (our list contains one exception: 30 Rock, which aired slightly more of its seasons pre-2010—but this list did not feel right without it). —Zach Blumenfeld, Created By: Graeme Manson, John Fawcett Stars: Tatiana Maslany, Dylan Bruce, Jordan Gavaris, Kevin Hanchard, Michael Mando, Maria Doyle Kennedy Original Network: BBC America, 2013-2017, Having one actor play several characters in a single show is nothing new, but that doesn’t take away from what Tatiana Maslany accomplished in BBC America’s Orphan Black. —Iris Barreto, Created by: Ronald D. Moore Stars: Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan Original Network: Starz, 2014-present, Based on Diana Gabaldon’s immensely popular book series, Outlander follows the story of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a nurse in 1940s England who, while on a holiday to Scotland, gets transported back through mystical stones to the 1740s. The brilliance of the series is that it deftly blends multiple and equally engaging storylines that both embrace and defy genre conventions. Its second (or robbin’) season, by contrast, comes as close to understanding the uncanny as any series on television: As directed by Glover, Amy Seimetz, and Hiro Murai, the germ of Darius’ “Florida Man” parable—an “alt-right Johnny Appleseed” forcing his chaotic, angry, even violent fantasies on an innocent populace—bears its strange fruit across 11 arresting, often unsettling episodes, woven from the same materials as fairy tales, folklore, fables, and myths. But Kristina lived with cancer and Potter gave the performance of her career. Forget responsibilities, finances and even actual partners—they are each other’s soulmates. Despite the wild surrealism of its original premise—a devoutly Catholic twentysomething virgin is accidentally artificially inseminated by her ex-crush/current boss’s sperm during a routine gynecological appointment (chaos ensues)—Jane the Virgin’s exceptional artistry was also evident from the jump. Maybe this is a good time for a drama about Chernobyl. But for the most part, it comes down to having a lot of funny words and a lot of beautiful costumes, as our protagonist Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) navigates her dual lives as a put-together mother of two and a brash standup comedian. Throughout its run, Adventure Time remains the strange, yet endlessly innovative little gem that fans know and love. Copyright © 2018 Fandango. The Return wasn’t merely a return: It ranged from Las Vegas to New York to 1940s Los Alamos, N.M. before bringing Special Agent Dale Cooper (the incandescent Kyle MacLachlan) home to the land of Douglas firs and dubious owls. Rather, as time marches on from the early days of Elizabeth’s reign, we move in to the Suez Crisis of in 1956, and the Profumo affair of 1963. The pièce-de-résistance, though, was its finale—titled “Veep”—where Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) finally gets her heart’s desire in her final bid for President, one that came at an enormous cost both personally and for the country as a whole. The ensemble series is extraordinarily well-acted (as evidenced by Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Joanne Froggatt, Jim Carter and Brendan Coyle all receiving Emmy nominations), and there’s perhaps no easier way to describe some of the plot twists than fucking nuts, a term we strongly feel the saucy Dowager Countess would approve of. We think we’ve delayed the inevitable long enough: Whether you’re here to find new horror movies and recommendations, or to let the last 10 years of diabolical memories come rushing back, see the blood, sweat, tears, and more blood that made this decade one to carry to the grave in our guide to the 100 Best 2010s Horror Movies! This is a list of covers of Time magazine between 2010 and 2019.Time was first published in 1923. The greatest games of the 2010s, officially ranked. Rae Earl (Sharon Rooney in her first role) is the fat teenage protagonist of our dreams. On TV, children are often treated as an accessory or a character trait, not as beloved tiny humans who have an enormous impact on your life. Perhaps that’s why Andy Daly’s brilliant, pitch-black Comedy Central series didn’t make it past an abbreviated Season Three—the show parlayed its silly, meta premise into a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. The rumblings of a quality horror comeback felt during the 2000s morphed into a full-blown renaissance during the 2010s. In the first season, Rae has to straddle between her two worlds: the mental hospital and a new group of friends. There’s a reason it’s spawned two spin-offs. —Allison Keene, Created by: Ted Griffin Stars: Donal Logue, Michael Raymond-James, Laura Allen, Kimberly Quinn, Jamie Dembo Original Network: FX, 2010, Terriers will always be the one that got away. —Sean Gandert, Created by: John Logan Stars: Josh Hartnett, Eva Green, Timothy Dalton, Reeve Carney, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper, Danny Sapani, Harry Treadway Original Network: Showtime, 2014-2016, In conception, Penny Dreadful doesn’t seem so much like a TV show but, rather, like a very elaborate dare—specifically, a challenge to craft the most fan fic-y Gothic horror series of all time and still have it track on an artistic and narrative level. And it should be. —Matt Brennan, Created by: Matthew Weiner Stars: Jon Hamm, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, January Jones, Christina Hendricks, Bryan Batt, Michael Gladis, Aaron Staton, Rich Sommer, Robert Morse, John Slattery Original Network: AMC, 2007-2015, Look, you don’t need us to tell you that Mad Men is one of the greatest TV dramas of all time; you have the entire Internet for that, and frankly, that’s time you could be spending watching more Mad Men. She evoked empathy from the viewer while never allowing the viewer to pity Kristina, and in doing so, Parenthood quietly became one of the best shows on TV paving the way for NBC’s next bit family drama This is Us. The historical bent of the show was actually a perfect match for this ordinariness, simply because political and social events are always happening in the background and making up the backdrop of our lives. And that, really, is where Stranger Things shines. John Leguizamo as Raymond’s father, who remarries while Raymond is away and struggles to balance his old family with his new one. Their daughter, Alexis (Annie Murphy), finally finished high school (it’s a long story) and decided to enroll in community college. Premiering as a mid-season replacement way back in March 2005, Grey’s, now in its sixteenth season, first appeared to be nothing more than an ER wannabe. On April 19, 1989, 28-year-old Trisha Meli was jogging in Central Park when she was brutally raped and left for dead. As it became fleshed out with oddballs and unusual city quirks, Pawnee has become the greatest television town since Springfield. The show’s titular character is defining her life on her own terms and by her own standards. This is a show that isn’t above a visual gag or vicious banter or a wonderfully cheap laugh, but it also looks some very hard realities of life straight in the eye. Against the tropes of Fox’s Gordon Ramsay-hosted properties, Chopped, and even Top Chef—with their constant backbiting and broken dreams—the contestants on GBBS are sunny, mutually supportive amateurs (albeit extraordinarily skilled ones). So, relive the show from its nascent early days or discover it for the first time. Rectify is thought-provoking and will make you care about the future of its characters—like all the best shows do. Amateur dramatist by day, assassin by night, Barry works to shed his darker self and become the man he wants to be, but he can’t escape the choices that led him down that dark path to begin with. Each 10-episode installment has created indelible characters that stay with you long after the last tragic turn of events has unfolded. Maisel is pure escapism with some occasional well-earned bite.—Allison Keene, Created by: Rob McElhenney Stars: Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, Danny DeVito Original Network: FX, 2005-present, Made on a shoestring, with scripts that average about three insults a minute, the exceptionally long-running It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia follows The Gang, a group of egomaniacal degenerates who run an Irish pub in South Philly: Glenn Howerton and Kaitlin Olson’s twins, Dennis and Dee; Danny DeVito as their dad Frank, and Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney as their friends Charlie and Mac. Andy Crump, Created by: The Duffer Brothers Stars: Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Noah Schnapp Original Network: Netflix, 2016-present, Say what you will about the finer points of its storytelling, Stranger Things continues to be an unabashed celebration of the 1980s, from its own filmic references regarding style and story to a cavalcade of literal references from the era. The specifics of how this would actually play out in a sleepy English village, though, is what gives the series its emotion and charm. Featuring much of the original cast (including the last performances of Catherine Coulson and Miguel Ferrer) with a host of fabulous newcomers, Twin Peaks: The Return is sometimes a hoot and sometimes an utter tour de force, but always, always, classic David Lynch, which is to say, completely dedicated to the mystery. They all make horrible mistakes and painful decisions. (There’s a special irony in the fact that a horse is one of the most human characters on TV, and the unblinking examination of his character makes “Escape from L.A.” one of the best episodes of TV this year.) I’m going to be blindly optimistic that we will see them again. And while some viewers no doubt came to Hannibal purely for its inventive, if highly gruesome imagery (there’s certainly that in spades), chances are they ended up staying for the compelling writing, hypnotic performances, and luscious, evocative cinematography. The GMT900 generation of these full-size pickups that ran from the mid-2000s to the mid-2010s can be had for pretty reasonable prices. —Matt Brennan, Created by: Dan Harmon Stars: Justin Rolland, Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, Sarah Chalke Original Network: Cartoon Network, 2013-present, One of the most brilliant shows on television, Rick and Morty uses its nerdiness and intelligence not as a gimmick, but as a way to open the (literal) dimensions of creative possibility, whether the ideas are original (interdimensional cable, a sentient gas cloud named Fart) or tongue-in-cheek homage (to The Purge, Inception, even its own interdimensional cable episode). All rights reserved. It’s that he’s done it for three stellar seasons. Claire’s overwhelming unhappiness. Jane (Katie Stevens), Kat (Aisha Dee) and Sutton (Meghann Fahy), twenty-something women trying to find success at Scarlett magazine while navigating their complicated love lives and the ups and downs of friendship, speak not only to The Bold Type’s target audience, but to women of all ages. To its adoring audience, Review will likely be remembered as the most inimitable show Comedy Central has ever aired. Horrible. But the emotional tone of the show (set between 1996 and 1998) is defined by the knowledge that Rae’s attempted suicide landed her in a mental hospital for four months. But the dark comedy and our desire for Rae to win consistently provide relief. —Eric Walters and Amy Amatangelo, Created by: David Caspe Stars: Eliza Coupe, Elisha Cuthbert, Zachary Knighton, Adam Pally, Damon Wayans, Jr., Casey Wilson Original Network: ABC, 2011-2013, File Happy Endings under the dreaded “canceled too soon” category. Rather than having to answer a trick question, viewers have been allowed to experience the android-driven theme park/bacchanalia in the context of the people (and robo-people) living in and around it. It’s this wide-ranging spotlight, drifting from the highest levels of political office down to lowly bootleggers and prostitutes, that makes the show something special, offering up morality plays that hold the lives of millions at stake while putting an actual face on those being affected. And this list is about what we love more than just what’s important or expected. Their son, David (Dan Levy), opened a store and met the love of his life. In its relationship to our own age of authoritarianism, the series offers a kind of storytelling that seems essential: It manages to paint a portrait of a divided universe without vilifying one group and raising the other to god-like status, as evidenced by the complexities of hardboiled detective Joe Miller (Thomas Jane) or U.N. official Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo). 30 Rock doesn’t have complex themes or a deep message, but that stuff would get in the way of its goal: having one of the most consistently funny shows ever on TV. After all, its understanding of the form is impeccable: With dramatic cold opens, floated theories and test cases; interviews, illustrations and re-creations; careful cliffhangers and a Jinx-style hot mic, it applies the genre’s commonplaces to absurd situations with aplomb. Justina Machado and Rita Moreno are, of course, reliably fantastic as the mother/daughter matriarchs of the family, and Todd Grinnell, as handyman/landlord Schneider, is given a chance to shine. But Rhimes perfected the art of a well-told soap opera, seamlessly weaving personal strife, romantic hookups (never have supply closets seen so much action) and complex medical cases. Thank goodness Pop TV picked up the series for a fourth season. Still, American Vandal’s most surprising strength is not its satire but its steady construction of a narrative backdrop even more compelling than its creators realize. The 2010s started with a bumper crop of unlikely remake success stories: Piranha 3-D, Fright Night, and Let Me In were all Certified Fresh by some malevolent miracle. —LaToya Ferguson, Created by: Phoebe Waller-Bridge Stars: Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer and Fiona Shaw Original Network: BBC America, 2018-present. This was going to be horror in the 2010s: An unseen force spreading into bewildering frontiers of intimate grief and personal storytelling, frequently on back-to-basics budgets. There is little question that Gravity Falls’ limited run will become—like the best summer memories—something fans will cherish for the rest of their lives.—Mark Rozeman, Created by: Ilana Glazer, Abbi Jacobson Stars: Ilana Glazer, Abbi Jacobson, Hannibal Buress, Arturo Castro Original Network: Comedy Central, 2014-2019, Being in your 20s is like going to war, and no show on television understands that better than Broad City. While 2013’s The Conjuring turned relentless old-school scares into blockbuster business, 2014 marks when the beginning of this new nightmare really took shape, with unexpected headline grabbers like Under the Skin, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, and The Babadook. The story itself is overwhelmingly powerful. And though there are elements of sci-fi—human cloning and the Neolutionists who believe in scientifically improving themselves (one character has a tail)—most of the characters aren’t the type who would even watch sci-fi. To borrow from another excellent show (The Good Wife), “This is Kafka in action,” (or even Derrida in action). It’s us,” as Donna says in the series’ sublime finale. Not only did it receive a stylish coupe variant but it now also boasts a hybrid option. Instead of merely parodying famous documentaries, they used each half-hour episode to quickly sketch recognizable and believable characters, focusing on their pain and humanity as much as their humor. —Corey duBrowa, Creators: Jack Amiel and Michael Begler Stars: Clive Owen, André Holland, Jeremy Bobb, Juliet Rylance Original Network: Cinemax, 2014-2015, Even though The Knick was conceived by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, and even though every episode of it is filled with fantastic acting performances (Clive Owen should have won a lot of awards for his work as the drug-addicted megalomaniac, Dr. Charles Thackery) and incredible attention to period detail of this early 1900s hospital … the success of this series falls square in the lap of Steven Soderbergh. It is, in the eight shaggy, smartly-constructed puzzlebox episodes of its debut season, nearly perfect. —Allison Keene, Created by: Raphael Bob-Waksberg Stars: Will Arnett, Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris, Paul F. Tompkins Original Network: Netflix, 2014-2020, BoJack Horseman is one of the most underrated comedies ever made, and it almost pains me that it doesn’t earn more praise. While Kristina battled breast cancer, she’s also dealt with life’s smaller moments. The godmother’s narcissism as a cover for her acute insecurity. —Rachel Haas, Created by: Bill Hader, Alec Berg Stars Bill Hader, Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, Henry Winkler Original Network: HBO, 2018-present, One of the strangest and most fascinating comedy/drama hybrids to date, creator and star Bill Hader’s excellent series plays with questions of identity and self-expression that explore the dual lives our troubled protagonist Barry leads. Other bits were disgraceful. But there are several key decisions Ava DuVernay makes that turns When They See Us into such a powerful program. And by “miss” I don’t mean we reflect fondly upon the show, which made us laugh and exists no more, but that our culture literally feels its absence, all the more glaring in the country’s depressing racial climate. Justin Theroux’s Kevin Garvey was the good guy, turned bad, turned pitiable, turned very bad, turned good—often all in one episode. And of course Bryce and Lisa, the essence of Etsy, putting “birds on things” in a local boutique while all hell breaks loose around them. “They always left out the part about inheriting the Earth.” Indeed, as she navigates Gilead’s stony euphemisms and loud silences, whether playing Scrabble with the powerful Commander Waterford (Jospeh Fiennes), flirting with his driver (Max Minghella), or (unsuccessfully) avoiding the ire of Waterford’s wife (Yvonne Strahovski), patriarchal dominion becomes the series’ unifying principle, the poison that soaks through the body politic “under His eye.” As the seasons have progressed, the series has lost a bit of its narrative punch. All Rights Reserved, the last great drama of the Golden Age of Television. —Amy Glynn, Created by: Michael Schur, Dan Goor Stars: Andy Samberg, Melissa Fumero, Andrew Braugher, Terry Crews, Steaphanie Beatriz, Chelsea Peretti, Jo Lo Truglio Original Network: Fox, 2013-2018; NBC 2019-present, “Consistency” might not be the most flattering virtue you can ascribe to a sitcom, but consistency is a big part of Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s greatness. Every couple of years, showrunner Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Timeless, The Unit) teases the idea of reviving the show. Some of the greatest shows ever made came out of this era, and such a wealth of wonderfully experimental and creatively outstanding series were allowed to flourish. I mean, as it becomes increasingly tempting to give in to apocalyptic ideation, I guess it’s useful to remember that the apocalypse already happened, and not even that long ago (I was a teenager and remember it vividly), and we apparently survived it. But none of it would work without the humanity Maslany brings to each of the clones she portrays in the show. Instead, in telling the story of a ragtag group of community college students, the show used its vast pop culture vernacular as a vessel for telling surprisingly resonant stories about outcasts attempting to find acceptance, a sense of belonging and, yes, community. Here are 100 of the biggest reasons why the music video feels in a far healthier place moving into the 2020s than it did a decade ago. The show has garnered its fair share of criticism for its gratuitous nudity and its depiction of a couple of brutal rape scenes, but it also has featured some of the strongest female characters on TV. Every word spoken is carefully crafted and full of meaning, creating a fully immersive experience where we act as Fleabag’s curious confidants through her personal trials. —Matt Brennan, Creator: Nahnatchka Khan Stars: Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker, James Van Der Beek, Liza Lapira, Michael Blaiklock, Eric Andre, Ray Ford Original Network: ABC, 2012-2013, “I’m not perfect / I’m no snitch / But I can tell you / She’s a b— (buzzer sound)”.
