Too low! But I guess it's U.K. only?

I've seen it in my Netflix. (I'm a Yank.)

yeah it's available in the US, and it's fun

#32 (Tie) - Dark (Netflix) - 45 points, 6 votes

Dark: the German Netflix series that's like an amalgamation of Twin Peaks, Back to the Future, and X-Files (SPOILERS!)

I tried with this but it struck me as portentous and leaden in the worst way

I've never heard of this! I'm surprised given how comparatively high up it is and how insistent Netflix are with their recommendations.

steven universe would've been my #1 pick if we had ranked voting. another show i love because i watch it with my kids but it's so deep that it works on different levels for everyone in our family. it has cracked through my hard shell and given me feelings.

here's some feelings for gen-xers

gonna miss this show.

of all the "damn, it's hard to be a cynical white couple in 201X" shows, i think catastrophe did it best

a depressing percentage of shows on my ballot will not be back next year

Lol at Contrapoints tying with SU

Huuuuge Natalie stan here y'all #truthTeller #nevercancelled

love Catastrophe but the last season was weak, amazing it got made at all in context of course

it wasn't at the level of previous seasons, but the final episode was brilliant.

been at a thing all week and havent been able to post yet. moka's images are great again. 77 is too many but there's already some good stuff that has shown up pretty high that i thought would be much higher so maybe 77 is good. Just seems like too much tv, the inclusion of youtube shows helps tho.

catching up a bit and eephus otm about nailed it. really fun for a handful of eps but im done with it now.

Will that guy on Jeopardy ever lose?

y'know, i didn't even think about jeopardy, but it really was great this year.

the GOAT tourney didn't drop 'til 2020, but if i remember it in 10 months, i'll vote for it then.

jeopardy never gets old

aw trebek

i think my cousin was his radiologist a year or so back

<3 the eternal Jeop

james' run made 2019 some top tier jeopardy

yeah he was must watch every night

Is Contrapoints the first Youtube channel to place?

That Scottish road trip one placed too and maybe others

i was sure tim rogers was gonna make it but i don't see him placing this high xp

CP is the first YT to place that still would have placed if I hadn't voted for it. (I did though)

jon bois made it too

saw 2 or 3 eps of derry girls, i can see the appeal but the ones i saw all followed the exact same formula and i didn't really need any more of it.

Catastrophe's brand of cynicism was too uncomfortably sadistic to watch, though I like the two main actors a lot. I thought The Let Down (Australian show on Netflix) somehow negotiated all of the bleakness in a more humane way (and I thought it was funnier).

Speaking of bleakness, I just realized that End of the F***ing World would've qualified for this poll.

season 2 of end of the world was a clear step down, would've made it if i decided to just submit every show i watched in 2019 lol

i felt the complete opposite! loved catastrophe, watched a couple of the let down and found it a bit too cruel/bleak.

Man, I can't believe we've gotten through almost a week of results without a single one of my picks showing up. I must have amazing taste.

Would like to get to #15 today so i'll try to zap one up every ten minutes or so for the next hour or so barring a surprise.

huh i forgot to vote for catastrophe, was it really last year?

dark was my #2, i know it's a bit dour (and hard to follow) but honestly i couldn't really imagine a much better bleak high stakes family soap opera time travel drama.

worried my #1 isn't going to make it now.

True Detective s3 was its best season imho

old man stephen dorff is my spirit animal

Dorff's best role, imo. Mahershala and Carmen Ejogo also very very good.

yeah true d was one of the last shows i cut. this season was impeccably-acted, and well-plotted as far as true detective ever is, but i missed the gothic atmosphere and flat-out weirdness of season one.

Sex Education is an absolute revelation! It would have been second on my ballot had we not only started watching it a few days ago (still a couple of episodes left to watch in S2). The reality this show is set in is magnificent.

Close to first on mine too. Hang on, more in a bit
