** OOTV Top Shows of 2017 - Results ** - Page 2 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Season one was merely okay, season two is insanely good, season three was very good. There is a huge quality gap between the first season and the last

I would break it down to episodes 1-5 of season 1 not being that great. From episode 6 on it was elite.

I didn't vote but would have put it in my top 10, though I didn't watch a lot of TV this year. I think it declined but still enjoying it

There wasn't much time to watch it all, that had to hurt its chances.

My list

1. You're the Worst
2. Better Call Saul
3. Impractical Jokers
4. Black Mirror
5. The Handmaid's Tale
6. Big Brother
7.Curb Your Enthusiasm
8. Baskets
9. American Vandal
10. Black Horseman

I stand by it all. Nothing makes me laugh more on tv at this moment than IJ. It should have made the top 20, but a niche network not on all cable packages might have sunk it.

Actually forgot about Ozark and Big Mouth which may have found there way into the bottom half although I am fine with what I picked.

I did forget to rank IJ and I guess Survivor if we're counting shows like that. Both should be in my top 10, even if I didn't overly enjoy this most recent season of Survivor.

Survivor: Game Changers was in the the first half of 2017 and was a great season. That alone was worth a Top 10 spot for Survivor fans.

What the heck - I'll post my list too. Note that I don't have Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon and as it is can barely find time to watch a lot of TV, which is why you'll see a large representation of 30 minute programs. What's funny though is I had Silicon Valley in my top 10 for years, but here when I have the highest concentration of 30 minute shows I couldn't bring myself to include it since I thought this season morphed into sitcomish tripe.

1. Planet Earth II
2. Halt and Catch Fire
3. Search Party
4. Curb Your Enthusiasm
5. Fargo
6. Brockmire
7. Game of Thrones
8. Veep
9. Nathan For You
10. Girls

American Vandal is GOAT, and agree that it's probably an issue of not a lot of people seeing it (and my fault for missing the voting thread). I watched it again with my family over the holidays and a.) it's still really funny the second time around, and b.) even my parents mostly liked it and they're olds!

I wouldn't normally put BB in my top ten but this season was highly enjoyable

Not that it was bad, but I just finished my yearly rewatch in prep of the upcoming season and man S2 and 3 make for a tough act to follow. S2 in particular has some of my favorite moments of TV of the past 4 years.

Blaine SWOT is still my favorite moment from the series followed by Erlich v. Adderal kid and how many guys both from s1

I never watched the original Twin Peaks series. Is it mandatory viewing before watching the 2017 Showtime series?

No. None of it matters. There's barely a plot. Story lines that go nowhere, pointless caricatures, long drawn out scenes. It was a chore to finish and I had some scenes going at 2x the speed. All the love for twin peaks seems like a cult to me. Save yourself the trouble and don't watch this pretentious piece of garbage.

Go to imdb and read reviews from real people.

If you're still not convinced, try and watch episode 8. Don't worry it won't spoil a thing. If you manage to finish it and if you enjoyed it then Twin Peaks is for you!

That's unfortunate. We won't get the chance to talk about how Twin Peaks doesn't really have a plot or a point because it's art therefore it doesn't have to and how a dumbo like me can never understand it.

Of course Twin Peaks has a plot. If you don't like the show, then whatever. Why are you answering the question? I'm pretty sure when someone poses such a question, they are expecting to hear from fans of the material.
