NO SOPRAN - I'm kidding. It is what it is. As I believe Dorian himself once said, more interesting lists are those that focus on outliers. Nonetheless. the absence of Dark is unforgiveable.
Some weird reactions to this list (not Duncan's). It's not AI. It's not ragebait. It's not rigged. The NYT polled 100s of people in TV and tallied the votes. Same methodology as Guardian's 100 novels list. Whatever you think of the results the process couldn't be more straightforward and transparent
I’ve seen 64 of the NYT’s best 100 TV shows of the 21st century.
And don’t really disagree with the inclusion of any of those. That’s a good hit rate.

I'd like to read a book about musical Imperial Phases, why they happen and why they stop. Think it would offer interesting insight into the artistic process and the outside cultural forces that affect it. Does it exist? Maybe I'll write it, but I know it'd be done better by some of you here

I'm no big Pink Floyd fan, certainly no fan of this particular song, and absolutely not some purist bore. But even I'm cringing. Pink Floyd PR think this is necessary though, 8bn album sales in 🤷♀️ www.youtube.com/shorts/Zczl-...
Pink Floyd made the perfect song to describe the feeling of returning to work after a holiday.

Don't think I have a more conflicted relationship with a director as I do with Lynch. I fluctuate between so many opinions of him, positive and negative. No one I trust dislikes him, yet so many are unquestioning in that admiration. Fascinating (to me, anyway!)
David Lynch: "Intuition is thought and feeling together. The language of film is so perfect for this intuiting, it’s just beautiful. You have what they call an ‘inner-knowing’. Right after seeing a film, you realize you know more than you can speak.” gointothestory.blcklst.com/screenwritin...
