 Best of television halfway through the decade (2010-2014) There's a month and a half left but interested in rankings/opinions on the half decade so far. Only include seasons that have at least partially aired in 2010-2014, so for example for Mad Men seasons 4-7 are the ones that count
Best overall show?
Top 5/10 shows?
Best drama?
Best comedy?
Best individual season?
Best individual episode?
Best pilot or series finale?
Best acting performance by a male?
Best acting performance by a female?
Most influential show?
Show you are most looking forward to in 2015-2019?
"F that show" award?

Re: Best of television halfway through the decade (2010-2014 Drama:
1. Breaking Bad
2. Game Of Thrones
3. Mad Men
4. True Detective
5. ... I guess it's a battle between one and a half seasons of Homeland and season 3 of The Walking Dead. I haven't really gotten into any other dramas, everything is just a Game of Thrones ripoff now.
Comedy:
1. Community - debuted in September 2009
2. The League
3. Always Sunny In Philadelphia
4. Parks & Recreation
5. Workaholics
Animation:
1. The Legend of Korra
2. Rick & Morty
3. South Park
4. Archer
5. Futurama
Seasons:
1. Breaking Bad final season
2. Breaking Bad season 4
3. How I Met Your Mother final season
4. Futurama final season
5. 30 Rock final season
Episodes:
1. True Detective biker episode
I'll fill the rest of this out later.

Re: Best of television halfway through the decade (2010-2014 I can't adequately do this because too many shows that are all time favorites of mine aired like a season or two in this decade but it feels wrong including them  (i.e. my favorite dramas of all time "Lost" and "Friday Night Lights" and one of my favorite comedies "30 Rock") The best drama is probably "Breaking Bad" though, and my personal favorite comedy that debuted this decade is "Happy Endings." I've watched the entire show start to finish probably over 10 times now and it still makes me laugh. The best episode is "Ozymandias."

Re: Best of television halfway through the decade (2010-2014 I just have not watched it yet. I hope to in the future. I very seldom catch up with a series in retrospect.

Re: Best of television halfway through the decade (2010-2014 Also, I wonder...has there EVER been a single season of any series as good as BB's fifth season? At least I haven't seen one yet.

Re: Best of television halfway through the decade (2010-2014 Even just the thought of Homeland repulses me now, amazing fall from grace from its "the heir" buzz.

Re: Best of television halfway through the decade (2010-2014 How many seasons of Louie have their been this decade? I didn't love the last one, but the two before that were really great. I would bump off Workaholics if both were this decade.

Boardwalk Empire
Mad Men
Game of Thrones
Revenge
American Horror Story
Once a upon a Time
I haven't seen Breaking Bad but I doubt it has any chance of unseating my Top 2.
