TV Shows

How does a show make my list?
1. After watching an episode, it feels like I just watched an entire movie
2. Superb writing
3. Great acting
4. Great characters
5. Few contrived scenes or storylines
6. Pacing is quick.  Doesn’t feel like a 10 episode season could have been done in 4-5 shows
7. Each episode leaves you satisfied.  Multiple storylines that conclude, not just 1 drawn out one.
