On the December 17, 2019 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor-in-chief Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film managing editor Jacob Hall, weekend editor Brad Oman, senior writer Ben Pearson and writers Hoai-Tran Bui and Chris Evangelista to have a water cooler discussion to decide the 25 best tv shows of the 2010’s.
Opening Banter: Our rules for this decade list are a bit weird, we decided to make qualifying line be the date of the pilot airing. So if it didn’t happen within the last decade, it didn’t make the cut, unfortunately this means that shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Parks and Rec don’t qualify.
