Jonathan strange and Mr norrell

The Mandalorian

A Canticle For Leibowitz

The Inbetweeners

The Midwich Cuckoos

You should fix this.

fleabag is really good though #4 seems high for a show with two seasons and 12 episodes total

Not at all surprising given the nepotistic nature of who compiled the list

Ozark

I think that's everyone. Collecting the answers now.

Only 7 out of 12 gave correct answers there.

One of them is unfortunately whatever The Midwich Cuckoos is. That's three misses for sixfour, who is eliminated in 12th place.

Thanks for playing.

Two others got their second strike.

Derwi misses with The Mandalorian. I've never seen it because LOL Star Wars, but it gets pretty solid reviews and I wouldn't have been surprised to see it on here.

A far bigger surprise to me was IBD missing with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Had to double check that one to make sure my CTRL-F was working. Tough break.

Sheesh

Whoops, I mean:

The last two incorrects were mark and xander with Ozark and The Inbetweeners, respectively.

D1iab picked off one of the last few top 10s remaining and filthy and bolt combine to take both #20s.

8 more attempts at TV vs 4 in books. Will this trend continue? Let's find out.

Round 7 begins now.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Yeah, I felt bad about that one.

At least The Hobbit and Harry Potter answers had fair warning that YA fiction didn't qualify.

You just got straight-up hosed.

Attack on Titan

Westworld

Brave New World

Curb Your Enthusiasm

barry

first one im not sure about. it's an elite show and 100% should be on the list.

if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend

The West Wing

This one ought to be top 10.

I really wish [REDACTED] were on the list for fantasy book series, but I really doubt it. It's my favourite, but probably isn't too well known, or people don't think of it because of the format. When I'm on the edge of elimination, I'll guess it. I know that nobody else will.

I still have lots of classics to go.
