  • You've lost someone.

  • Yes, someone's unlike lost.

  • The mystery of the leftovers isn't really the point.

  • It's merely a vehicle to explore the characters and the themes.

  • Have you been noticing that I've been, um, kind of losing my mind?

  • What show never really took off going to a somewhat rickety first season, but the 2nd and 3rd seasons were so beautiful and well made that critics began regarding the leftovers as one of the greatest shows ever made.

  • It only lasts 28 episodes, so there's no good excuse for ignoring it.

  • Oh, I was just getting good.

  • Number eight Lost.

  • Yeah.

  • Following survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious island, it managed to keep viewers guessing throughout its six season run.

  • Unfortunately, something is lost.

  • Sorry.

  • While streaming the show today, a huge part of the allure was going online and discussing the endless theories and studiously analyzing every last pixel of a given screenshot.

  • But even without the real time excitement of online discussions, Lost makes for stellar viewing thanks to its stand outcast and character writing, cinematic production values and, of course, the sense of adventure at its heart.

  • Lost may have infamously fumbled the landing, but there's still nothing else like it on TV.

  • When Lost is on top of its game, it's spectacular.

  • E number seven.

  • The Simpsons.

  • The Simpsons is so great and so institutionalized in the pop culture consciousness that it cannot possibly be ignored.

  • Smith is.

  • I am beginning to think that Homer Simpson was not the brilliant tactician I thought he waas.

  • They're heading for the old male.

  • No or not.

  • Well, let's go to the old mill anyway.

  • Get some side of Number six Avatar.

  • The Last Airbender.

  • The great thing about Nickelodeon's avatar is that anyone can enjoy it.

  • Yes, it aired on Nickelodeon and was made primarily for Children, but it contains so many great themes, characters and stories that adults can enjoy.

  • It is, well, they will call me Child, a Conqueror child.

  • The Moon Slayer.

  • Joe.

  • Get it off.

  • Get it off.

  • While each episode typically portrays a self contained story of its own, there is also an overarching plot that sees Avatar Eng learning to control the elements so he can defeat the Fire Nation.

  • Aside from the remarkable story telling, the show is also rife with humor and fantastic production values, which includes gorgeous animation and epic music.

  • Yeah, number five.

  • The Wire.

  • This expansive crime drama was created and primarily written by David Simon, who worked at the Baltimore Sun for 13 years.

  • He spent most of that time covering crime, and it's there that he learned the inner workings of a typical American city.

  • He used his knowledge to write the wire.

  • It's not, but we always stole the money.

  • Why'd you let him play God's this American man.

  • Unlike most crime dramas, the Wire isn't really concerned with telling an exciting story, although it does certainly do that.

  • Rather, it's more interested in exploring how disparate parts of the city, like the police force, politics, streets, schools and media, come together to form a whole.

  • Unbelievable.

  • It was unlike anything seen on TV at the time, and it's still unlike anything seen on TV.

  • Are you Laura Palmer?

  • Hey, hey, no, we're most some parents.

  • Like most of Lynch's work, Twin Peaks is bizarre and nightmarishly surreal.

  • And while it Begins is an offbeat detective story about her recently murdered teenager, it soon spirals into outright insanity.

  • It's hard to define Twin Peaks because Twin Peaks can't really be compared to anything.

  • It's Twin Peaks, and that's what makes it so memorable.

  • Number three.

  • Game of Thrones, based on George R.

  • R.

  • Martin's fantasy Syriza song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones changed television forever, chronicling a war for control of the fictional Seven Kingdoms.

  • The show was filled with fantastic storytelling, rich world building and a stellar cast of unforgettable characters.

  • It also featured unbelievable production values.

  • Game of Thrones effectively bridged the divide between television and film, with its sets, visual effects and epic scope and sequence is like Hard Home and the Battle of the Bastards will remain firmly ingrained in our collective pop culture consciousness.

  • At a time when streaming was fragmenting TV Game of Thrones got everyone talking and tuning in week after week number two The Sopranos.

  • Most of the dramas mentioned on this list wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for The Sopranos.

  • On the surface, the show details the criminal and personal lives of a specific Italian American mob family, particularly that of its leader, Tony Soprano.

  • I'm sorry, Tony.

  • I bet you are.

  • But while the mob stuff is obviously great, The Sopranos was always more interested in exploring more mundane yet universal themes around psychology, generational divides and family.

  • Is your shoulder ish like a great American novel, it tells one specific story while also touching on a wide range of concepts relating back to the human condition.
