Gulliver's travels is a fantasy book.

Maybe its just not considered that good. I enjoyed it

I suspect that Gulliver's Travels might be viewed generally as almost mainstream.

im still tilted about big bang theory

Not romance enough it seems.

It makes the list at #70.

This is one of the TV ones I was surprised no one had said yet, though some of the selections may have confused you.

It does indeed make the list at #41.

Was wondering if someone was going to say this.

I'm guessing that it is off the list because of the young adult rule.

Strike two for you.

You may guess for Round 19.

I wouldn't call stuff like Bambi or Alvin and the Chipmunks sci-fi/fantasy.

ozark

This was said ages ago (and was incorrect).

Try again.

Lol woops sorry eye

planet earth

I'm running out of ideas.

Battlestar Galactica

Well, that was a kick in the nards. If I gotta go, I'm gonna go with some military time warping. The Forever War

God I hope this is in

At first I was surprised that this wasn't guessed really early. Now I'm surprised it was guessed at all, given all the other shows.

I don't know how you properly rate something like this against stuff like Chernobyl and Fleabag.

It's on the list at #73, which just seems silly. It would have been better if they omitted nature documentaries entirely.

Zeus (and bolt) will be happy. It's #70.

I don't know what this is, but it's the best answer of the round at #56.

We have reached Round 20. Make your guesses.

new girl

73 is too low.

It was such an eye opener of a series and so well made.

I think the last 10m where they talk about how they made the show was my fave bit of some episodes. The stuff with the whales was amazing

Right?

It's why I said they just should have said it was ineligible. It's too different from all the other highly rated stuff.

Putting it behind the goddamn Big Bang Theory is just insulting.

I have not read the book in Polish or English, and I have not seen the movie of the same name, but Solaris has been on every list I have seen in the last 40 years.

I guess things like band of brothers and chernobyl are kinda similar but still. There's a whole vein of difference

Oh. Being a BBC list there's probably a bunch of shows I've never seen or heard of, but I remembered an obvious one.

The Americans

Obvious indeed. For the first time in a long time, a top 10 is revealed.

It's #8.

This is not top 10, or even top 100.

I guess this will be the first time in 40 years, then.

Hell of a run, but it ends here.

Eric gets the bronze medal. Thanks for playing.

Zeus with two strikes; Bolt with two strikes. How long can this go?

You may guess for Round 21.

Stranger Things

the gentleman bastard series

Can't believe I forgot this!!

Already been said!

This was fun. Thanks, eb.
