Archer
Rick and Morty
Vikings
GoT didn't make the cut - excellent props and story telling but lacks plot.
Not in order of merit
House of cards s1 - s2 and after got too physical for me, to have kevin spacey murder people feels very unreal to me, especially as a politician.
Narcos - great show overall, the execution of the story is perfect
Ozark - s1 has been great so far, anticipating a greater s2
Vikings - i didn't like GoT as much as I liked this.
Orange is the new black - extremely captivating show, not sure where to put on a finger on why its so good
In no particular order and only off the top of my head (and prompting from this thread):
I am privacy forgetting some older ones.
+1 Yessss… another PoI fan!!

Obviously Game of Thrones as a current show and media darling gets a lot of votes. Will be interesting to see if it holds up a decade or more after airing like The Wire, Seinfeld etc have done. I'm not sure that it will.
Cannot believe Underbelly got a mention in this thread!
I believe the early seasons will hold up well, but the later ones are terribly written and don't even hold up now.
I was a massive Seinfeld fan back in the day, but I struggled to get through a rewatch recently. Some great episodes aged well but many more didn't. Comedy doesn't seem to age as well as the other genres.
Seinfeld had so many episodes there are bound to be some weaker ones. Sometimes less is more.
