This is my personal list of the top 30 TV shows that have lived rent-free in my head (and heart). It's totally subjective, based on my taste, binge habits, and what kept me hooked at 2 a.m. when I swore I’d only watch one episode. You might agree, yo...

Fantacy & Mind benders
The absolute best TV show of all time, if you haven’t watched it what are you doing? If you don’t like it, you probably didn’t pay attention
Dark
Mind blowing show, great storytelling, amazing characters and lovely creative direction.
Severance
This is a masterpiece. A comfort show that is funny but also deep. The story is well thought out and well executed.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Unique idea and very thought out. What is not to like?
Death's Game
Such a strange show, it is oddly spiritual and poetic and it was cancelled but it is 100% worth the watch
The OA
Since it is not one single story, it makes up for a multitude of ideas and emotions, making each episode a new experience.
Black Mirror
This show would be my favourite show of all time, had the last 2 season not happened. My expectations plummeted and my experience was slightly ruined, but this show is still one of the best tv shows that have come out.
Game of Thrones
At first I thought this was just a superhero show so I didn’t want to watch it at all. But then I was pressured into starting it and I ended up binge watching it all. It is funny, emotional, cynical and surprising smart.
The Boys
Such a unique concept and an amazing array of characters. Sadly, the ending was rushed but the rest of the show makes up for it.
Sense8
Dystopias & Survival
I will never shut up about this show. Not only is it the most artistically beautiful tv show I have personally witnessed, but also the characters are very well written and the story is captivating.
Arcane
Terrifying world building but it doesn’t rely on jump scares and effects, nor does it try to cheaply use shock factors. Character based and very smart.
From
Tragic and heartbreaking but also fun and hopeful. This show has it all.
The Last of Us
One of the best zombie tv shows out there. Very gripping story told from a high school student, which makes the story even more tragic.
All of Us Are Dead
Captivating and suspenseful, amazing show
Alice in Borderland
Another zombie show (I have a type apparently) but this one is a period drama heavy in politics as well.
Kingdom
This is more than just an anime. I am considering this a work of art. The story is very interesting and very emotional.
Attack on Titan
Post apocalyptic fun, you will not be bored for even a second.
Fallout
Underrated gem. Following squid game’s success, this show has a similar premise. It also has a social commentary aspect which I appreciated
The 8 Show
A lot of people overlook it because it is everywhere, but this was culturally very significant and to this day it is still an amazing watch.
Squid Game
A dystopian tale that feels jarring and oddly gives you a sense of foreboding.
The Handmaid's Tale
Dramas
Devastating and horrific but it really is worth the watch.
Chernobyl
Masterpiece. Prior to this I used to say that I never cried because of movies/tv shows but now I take it back. I cried so much. 1000/10
When Life Gives You Tangerines
Visually stunning, great revenge story and amazing story telling.
Blue Eye Samurai
Whether you like the British royal family or not, you will love this show if you like drama class and perfection. Very well directed.
The Crown
Raw and emotional. Truly beautifully shot and the actors are doing an amazing job.
Adolescence
This show is very stressful, but that’s its charm. The characters feel like real people and their emotions feel raw.
The Bear
Devastating drama based on a true story. The direction is great and the actors did a brilliant job
When They See Us
Comedies
Such a comfort show. Growing up outside of the United States, I was never able to relate to American humor. But this show is clever and funny but it is also profound and entertaining.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
On a similar note, the good place is also very funny but in a supernatural way.
The Good Place
Honorable mention: my favourite show of all time. This is a Greek tv comedy that follows 5 unconventional protagonists who try to uncover an old murder case. Extremely witty and heartwarming. If you don’t speak Greek, please find a way to watch it wi...
