Yes, there are supernatural elements, and the whole white walker thing is a big backstory, but it's not primarily a supernatural/horror show in the same sense as the others. It's easily the "best" overall show in the list, but the best horror/supernatural show? Errr...
Even though I disagree with the ranking, I respect your process for reaching your rankings and thank you for doing them.
That's how I looked at it. I didn't tally awards / Emmy noms for TV detective, but seeing awards for a character did help in further sorting them out in my mind.
didn't connect with the show at all. highest i could have put her is ahead of Starbuck among my "who cares"s
I will be honest - I was replying to your post and saying that I would help with horror. 1/2 way through I decided to look at the list and tapped out. For a genre I love in movies, the horror shows mostly suck (and I thought the list reflected that). If if wasn't that, it was better quality shows that probably pushed the definition of "horror" a bit for me like GoT and Twin Peaks, and I guess i am not up for an argument (at least from the judge's side) about why those shows might have gotten dinged from me.
As the resident expert complainer, I will say you are complaining. Don't shy away from it. Embrace it and come to love it......
I had no idea she only had 44 minutes of screen time. Of course this is a sweeping ensemble so that is somewhat to be expected. I was the goofy outlier judge on that one. I thought she dominated the scenes she was in (hence supporting) and just think her acting is brilliant. Much better in fact than Clarke's, who I had ranked higher because the character arc was tremendous (until the crap ending). Yep judging is hard
It took me a while to come around to how Clarke played her character. I give her the benefit of the doubt that in the early seasons, Dany was in a bit of a fog because she had been through a lot in the time leading up to when the show started and should have had some PTSD. I also gave the benefit of the doubt about how she grew as the seasons unfolded, but how her heel turn went didn't sit with me. I could be way off base with what they were going for but I think that's a fair interpretation.I had no idea she only had 44 minutes of screen time.

I was also the low judge on Kim Wexler, and that is a show that I've only seen a handful of episodes on and she didn't make a huge impression on those episodes. I'm glad the other judges were there to balance me out since she seems to be universally acclaimed. Of course all (or most) of these selection will be acclaimed since it's akin to saying someone in the Hall of Fame is pretty good.
understood, it stings as Kim was my pick, but it's all in good fun... If you were a fan of the show and watched all the way through you may have come to see that Kim is the heart and soul as I have seen it, she just crushes it in this show.I had no idea she only had 44 minutes of screen time.

It has actually made me want to watch the show from the start. Breaking Bad was tremendous TV, but honestly I felt down sometimes watching it. Wasn't sure I wanted to plunge back in with Saul. I need to give it a better chance.understood, it stings as Kim was my pick, but it's all in good fun...

I think Saul is better than BB. It's tighter, and the showrunners have a much better idea of where they are going.
i wouldnt presume. same for scifi and horror/supernatural. neither should drafters expect entries from genre shows to perform well in open cats
I love Saul but still think this is blasphemy. Also, it's a little unfair to specifically compare the idea of "where they are going" - we all know where they are going - they are leading in to BB. Really the only question is:Uruk-Hai said:
Agree, I definitely wouldn't judge based on who is likable and don't think many others would either. That doesn't define what's a great character.rick6668 said:
Well, technically they all make the list.
I'm with you on this one, GB. I prefer the human drama aspects of Saul.
I feels how I feels
Bates Motel was on my very short list and I was surprised it didn’t get drafted. Loved that show.
I'll get you a list this evening. I wasn't familiar with Devs or The Prisoner, so I watched Devs yesterday and am halfway through The Prisoner.
