Game of Thrones !!!

[@xansox2337]

Game of Thrones season 7 was the worst of all seasons..

[@D3ADL7SN1P3R]

Xansox I don’t think so

[@ead630]

Especially after the good enough but poorly plotted Season 7, GoT

[@xansox2337]

Mr. Moseby well then explain yourself. S7 has a lot of logical gaps.. it feels rushed. There are tons of things that make s7 worst of them all. Google it for yourself

[@D3ADL7SN1P3R]

Xansox I know that it would take episodes for characters to travel to a different destination but they had to cut that in order for them to fit more in. But I liked s7 because we finally saw little finger die, and we got to see the dragons in action! They revealed Jons parents ,even though most knew already, and we saw the night king turn viserion, and the army of the dead finally made their move. Basically those things put s7 in my top 3 , but that’s my opinions

[@daidaloscz3477]

Where the hell is the Punisher?

[@bifa5414]

It was good but not that good. Honestly I'm tired of that Netflix/Marvel formula almost as much as the CW/DC shows being all the same.

[@Omar-tk8wv]

bifa It was TIGHT. Can't think of a single major flaw

[@if3rd]

Daidalos CZ it was great but didn't reach the hights of other better overall shows this year like game of thrones, American gods, twin peaks or even legion in my opinion.

[@Omar-tk8wv]

Ira Ford I think it did.

[@patdang7601]

bifa yet you enjoy agents of shield

[@isaacme3829]

why do i always end up watching suggestions on comments instead of the one that made the top list?

[@lopezfan24]

I’m glad Better Call Saul is getting some love. Possibly one of the greatest shows on tv right now

[@Omar-tk8wv]

I got Game Of Thrones, Agents Of Shield, American Gods, The Punisher, and Legion over all of these

[@sebastiancrown3970]

Twin peaks over all

[@sleepyazathoth5238]

My favorites: Rick and Morty S03, Fargo S03, Legion, Twin Peaks The Return, Bojack Horseman, Mindhunter, Handmaid's Tale, American Gods, Vikings S04 and The Leftovers. Honorable mention to GOT.

[@DanFarrell98]

Mr Robot deserves more than an honourable mention, even for the ‘one shot’ episode alone

[@iqbalabdillah2123]

Fargo season 3 seems like underrated tv series.

[@Ghosstof117]

BOJACK HORSEMAN SEASON 4 WAS BETTER THAN MOST OF THIS LIST HOW TF DID IT NOT GET ANYTHING

[@matthewhardwick8208]

I'm sorry but Twin Peaks The Return tops this list for me, nothing else comes close to it. MASTERPIECE

[@caseyglover7298]

Mr. Robot was the best for me, but Twin Peaks, The Leftovers, Better Call Saul, and Mindhunter were very good aswell.

[@godsandmonsters4601]

Mr. Robot deserves more than an honorable mention. In my opinion, it's even better than Game of Thrones, something I thought would be impossible.

[@MeesTW]

Mindhunter needs to be higher. You can say what you want about it, but it's amazing how much the vision of an auteur was put into this show.

[@Maxificent]

How did The Punisher not make it on this list?! Really?!

[@devocrankseven1546]

Maxificent Because this show is very divisive . Some love it but many critics and people think the punisher was a bad show (but still better as the other horrible netflix Marvel shows this year)

[@barry2349]

Maxificent coz its trash

[@DDChorror]

Because it's just more Marvel shit..

[@Omar-tk8wv]

barry 234 You trippin

[@if3rd]

Devocrank seven critics mostly complained about real world violence and the recent shootings and that's why they were so divisive because of real world events and not the show itself.

[@bojan9168]

WHAT ABOUT VIKINGS

[@trihard5060]

is super trash

[@craigsinclair171]

I'm all for the popular stuff like Game of Thrones and Stranger Things, but Mindhunter is really the standout for me. Amazing show.

[@2prowamf]

Seriously no bojack horseman? Not even an honorable mention? The show is soo amazing and knows how to punch you in the gut every season.

[@epik9984]

Mindhunter is really good though.

[@filmjunkie975]

A show comes back 25 years later and floors everybody with its epic scope, dark and bruting tone and some of the most creative direction in modern TV. Watchmojo: Nah, let's put it at #4

[@josephwright4222]

Legion was an incredible tv show. Aubery Plaza deserves some awards for her performance. Batshit crazy and a bit to weird for some, but the mix of genres and overall progression of the show was unbelievable

[@fridadamian657]

how could you give Mr robot an honorable mention. It deserves number 1

[@fiachraoneil4492]

Mr.Robot should be on the list

[@bruhhh._.150]

JasonJMist Are you kidding me? 3rd season is by far the best season yet.

[@connorbates9819]

JasonJMist that's probably why you can't appreciate why this season is so different from the other 2. There's so much to appreciate about this year. I really hope you don't do that often because this has truly been a fantastic season

[@Ray03595]

gave up on the show 3 episodes into this new season. It's just not very good. Slow, boring, and I don't really care for the characters nearly as much as I did in the first season. Really a shame and I hope Esmail didn't just get lucky with the first season.

[@connorbates9819]

Oh trust me when I say that it gets so much better. Episode 5 onwards are all incredible.

[@noel317]

This season is the best! Can't wait for the season finale next week. I repeat this season is the besssst!!!

[@ratosc2]

So Happy Legion made it to the list! Don't agree with some of the picks but we all have our own opinions.

[@markushoffman8735]

Where is BoJack?!!! Best season yet!!!

[@Outpost31Research]

Damn, Im actually suprised how good of a list this is. I personally think Legion and Mindhunter are 2017s best for New series.

[@mydailydosisJohn]

Couldn't agree more.

[@broderickperlman9323]

SOMEONE BESIDES ME WATCHES LEGION! FINALLLLLYYYYYY! I have watched the show 3 times just because i forced my friends to sit down and watch

[@Outpost31Research]

Derek Wadas, Have I watched Mindhunter? Dude, even asking me that is an insult. Jk but I loved every second of it and I absolutely cannot wait to for season 2 to see what kind of minds Ford and Tench get to dwelve into. I was just happy to finally see a crime series thats realistic.

[@janedoe5836]

YES SAME!!! I freakin LOVE that show but it feels like so few people know about it even though it has well known actors and directors working on it.

[@janedoe5836]

Yes definitely :) Legion and Jessica Jones are the only "hero" shows I watch currently

[@pedrocantanhede4694]

If Twin Peaks is not #1 nothing is right in this world

[@HelsinkiVampire]

my list 1.Stranger Things 2.Twin Peaks 3.Game of Thrones 4.Mindhunter 5. Big Little Lies 6.Legion 7.Mindhunter 8.Dark 9.American Gods 10. The Sinner

[@zamuzz]

Ozark anyone? I guess I'm the only one who watched and loved it.

[@peppiekokkie8780]

SC90 I loved it too. Very underrated show

[@inkeriananas]

I loved it.

[@claywinn32]

Awesome show. My favorite of the year.

[@micah4029]

I watched it. It should've at least been in the Honorable Mentions section.

[@Nautilus1972]

I'd forgotten it, but it was good.

[@doyinhaastrup3215]

This season of mr robot has been HUGELY underrated even with a honourable mention

[@dimitrissimos9880]

What about Peaky Blinders??

[@Nautilus1972]

BEst of em all!

[@ColinMcray]

Dimitris Simos γαμα τους μητσο δεν ξερουν..

[@jazmine5699]

Overrated

[@Th3devilsbackbone]

Twin Peaks at #4? The Return was the best tv show I have ever witnessed in my short life.

[@sanelekhoza395]

The originals should be in this list.

[@iammanhandz]

The Leftovers was the most enthralling tv show I've ever seen! It's a must see.

[@joellehkamo2826]

My top 3. 3. Stranger things 2. Prison break 1. Impulse

[@pedroeldiablo811]

The Leftovers is a masterpiece, truly a must watch

[@johnnzioki853]

So glad to see the Leftovers get some love. Honestly such a brilliant show and more people should watch it.

[@tylerclarke5580]

I love watching the good place I'm happy that it made it to the honorable mentions

[@sslssg247]

That show is so forking great.

[@micah4029]

Why can't you write fork?

[@Bill-zp2mt]

First season were good but the second was bad, it's almost like they did an 180 degree in the writers room for second season.

[@smid556]

La casa de papel. Best tv show of all time!! Bella ciao!

[@chinaaokoli9632]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! u av a sister in me! I LOVE THAT SHOW

[@user-xi8yh8qi9j]

Best show??? Hell no 🤣🤣🤣

[@jenniferkiefaber6568]

There is just so much competition there to make a good top 10 list for this. One of my favorites was Mr. Mercedes. I knew it wouldn't be up there but if you haven't seen it then put it on your list. It's so well done.

[@loredaba86]

The only thing I would change is number 3 in number 2. Personal preference. But I agree The Handmaid's Tale was the best show by far this year. Great performances , great writing.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

It was awful.

[@doubleoscar773]

Once again Fargo doesn't get any recognition *sigh*

[@doubleoscar773]

Also i think my top ten would go something like this 10. Taboo 9. American Vandal 8. Mr. Robot 7. Stranger Things 6. Rick and Morty 5. Legion 4. Silicon Valley 3. Mindhunters 2. Master of None 1. Fargo

[@kitjames1279]

Fargo s3 sucked, be real here.

[@doubleoscar773]

Nah it was just so different this season, Ill give ya I don't think it was as good as the past two seasons, but its still the most ambitious show on tv

[@TyRhy521]

Ewan McGregor was Emmy worthy, and VM Varga was one of the most entertaining villains of recent memory. Season 3 definitely did not suck.

[@ChrisDynamo]

"Emmy worthy" "Entertaining villain"

[@goddyfame3424]

Any countdown that doesn't have Game of Thrones as number 1 is wrong. I am a tv series and movie junky but after watching game o thrones, I can't watch anything else. nothing get close. There is nothing like Game of thrones and I don't know if there will ever be.

[@CandidlyJules]

i agree 100%. the creativity and unpredictability is just on another level...and the characters! Arya Stark,Jon..i just can't wait for season 8

[@lifeissrecret2000]

same here ! agree w you !!

[@jazz7148]

yup nuff said...

[@caseyglover7298]

I love Game of Thrones, but was let down by the new season. It was no longer unpredictable, and the characters are dumbasses now, it was just decent Hollywood TV. I sorta liked it, but as someone who would say almost all of the other seasons would be number one, I can say that this season was far from number one. I would recommend that you give Mr. Robot, Twin Peaks, The Leftovers, and Better Call Saul (If you have seen Breaking Bad first of course) a shot if you haven't already.

[@jamiethomas6701]

@@caseyglover7298 THE DEUCE

[@kingm9252]

My top 5 1. Game of Thrones 2. The walking dead 3. The 100 4. Stranger things 5. How to get away with murder

[@olincekongo]

Game of thrones 3 place wat That shall be 1 i am Night King as say it will be 1

[@Angie-et5gq]

OLINCEKONGO360 it’s overrated

[@fiachraoneil4492]

Mr . Robot ....

[@rcgnetworks]

[@nolabels2331]

OMG the finally was amazing!

[@factsforlife1749]

Game of thrones at 3? It should be at 1

[@lifeissrecret2000]

agree ! + 1 million !!

[@Angie-et5gq]

Naw

[@melakuyirga1488]

I don't think The Leftovers is known by many. The show is so great. It needs more views.

[@alansmithee4948]

Room 104 deserves a mention. Such an underrated show

[@TraViiStyMo]

I am a little surprised Narcos didn’t make the list.

[@kaushikmedhi8564]

TraViiStyMo me too

[@chinaaokoli9632]

THANK U!!!

[@jamiethomas6701]

HOW ABOUT OZARK

[@worldsbiggestholdthegirlfan]

Big Little Lies deserves to be higher. It was really fascinating

[@josephhillyard3040]

5. Legion 4. Stranger Things 3. American horror story 2. Rick and Morty 1. Feud:Bette and Joan

[@timoback3000]

Glad ST & RM was on there. I've seen a episode or 2 of a few of the others. But there are a few I'm definitely gonna checkout.

[@datdudejojo9418]

Why isn't power rangers on this list

[@irina1296]

The X Files? The Punisher? Stranger Things, Twin Peaks and Legion are my favorite in this video but again, The Punisher and The X Files are the best!

[@kellycoulon2153]

THANK YOU for appreciation this final season of The Leftovers.

[@mimosune]

Just so you know, this is Watchmojo's opinion of the best TV shows this year. It doesn't mean that their list is set in stone.

[@8jaytee]

watch mojo doesnt make their lists. its decided by fan votes.

[@joshdouglalivecouk]

Peaky Blinders?

[@thomasmicheal5480]

Yeah, but it's gonna be sweet.

[@michaelcaulfield6638]

The Yanks wouldn't appreciate it because it isn't 'American' enough , I think it should've been on the list aswell

[@lizdragon8592]

Stranger things deserved top 3 at least

[@melianucho]

Liz Dragon This season was not as good as the first one

[@KnightOfNight3405]

Nope

[@unesse6954]

its a show for kids so childish deserve not to be with the top 10 even

[@pedersandy2037]

Ewazin ED did you even watch the show, its not childish.

[@fxizaxx1289]

Ewazin ED If you actually watched the show maybe you would know it's not childish

[@kalevi7821]

Legion was a very welcoming surprise! Cannot wait for the next season!

[@samuelabrha6402]

Game of thrown is no 1,not only for 2017 also for 20∞

[@YOU_SHALL_NOW_PASS]

Good choices, horrible arrangements

[@rampv9056]

Where's Vikings?

[@Enchantmentofeternity]

I thumbs upped for putting the Leftovers at #2, well done, but you forgot "The Expanse"

[@dannyhernandez7913]

@watchmojo you guys should make a video of the Top 10 TV shows in a TV show

[@dannyhernandez7913]

For example Days of Our Lives on Friends

[@bgstchannel7158]

2017 still have December Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D still Eps. 4 And THE PUNISHER even better

[@Jack_1705]

No mention of Peaky Blinders? Really?

[@gildardo951]

10. I need to see this. 9. Should I watch this from Season 1? 8. I hate abuse. Should I watch this? 7. Should I watch this- Oh, Michael Keaton 6. Dang it! I wish I had Netflix. 5. Um, since when has this existed? 4. I think I will watch this. 3. Should I begin from Season 1? 2. What? 1. What? So, no mention of The Good Doctor or Doctor Who? Oh come on, Series 10 was amazing.

[@reed7421]

The 100 anyone? Cant wait for season 5

[@bifa5414]

it's good show but number of errors is terrifying, especially in season 4, if you have any knowledge about since it's really hard to watch, even if you know that it's sci-fi some things are unacceptable

[@nolabels2331]

it's good dude, but it's no mr. robot

[@eskyboygamer7034]

dude i can not wait the ending on season 4 was so amazing and had u thinking!

[@reed7421]

marvel kid One day, bud. One day.

[@Rucy_Ramone]

My Top 5 List for this year: 1. Stranger Things 2. Game of Thrones 3. Orange Is The New Black 4. Better Call Saul 5. Big Mouth

[@matissbruvers]

This year's vikings season has been epic and the best so far. I can't believe you didn't include it.

[@thefatalveli1]

Better Call Saul is Legendary

[@fayray3108]

Quantico and Prison Break

[@dannysimion]

All I know is that this year I kept rewatching old clips of Modern Family most especially of Gloria in her beautiful blue gown vs Stella and her habit of jumping into the pool. Hee hee.

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

How is Mindhunter only an honourable mention? Also loved American Vandal.

[@richardromeo3012]

where's the walking dead

[@zolikiss3515]

Richard Romeo this Season is WaF

[@alternativvelol]

For me Prison Break is the best

[@hsmileyface8308]

O Connor sucked mahone wasn’t in season 5

[@Nautilus1972]

Season 5 sucked.

[@alternativvelol]

Season 6 is coming soon fellas

[@gubtefumcki6399]

O Connor pfft

[@Hashiiem]

yup it is

[@ardillarojo]

Shows that deserved a mention: Gotham, Chance, and Bojack Horseman. I'm so glad The Walking Dead was omitted from the list!

[@danrotando6111]

Handmaid's tale is very good and has some amazing writing and the other shows are great as well but where the hell was 13 Reasons Why? that show was one of the most powerful television experiences with its extremely important message and serious content. I think it at least deserved an honorable mention...

[@CandidlyJules]

handmade tale is very original.. i agree

[@BHmauro]

How is This is Us not on this list??

[@JeMoederGamesJMG]

Mauricio Figueroa It's without a doubt the best show of the year

[@megamoviez]

Mauricio Figueroa I guess because the season hasn't finished. I really don't know. It's GREAT!

[@samholmes3910]

I can say that I personally don’t like this is us simply cause it’s 2 depressing 4 me but I agree the show should be someone on the list

[@Nautilus1972]

Top show.

[@joem1306]

Mauricio Figueroa because its only "top 10"

[@dylanwright2363]

Where's my show red 😅😅😅😅😅😅(punisher like come on man 😅😅)

[@janhesse6035]

Ok,the Show released very late in 2017,but "Happy!" from SyFy should be mentioned here.

[@muskanchouhan03]

And than there's me, I watched all of the red road this year only to find out they aren't making a season 3. And they ended season 2 with a cliffhanger 😞

[@callumazing4776]

Anyone else think Gotham is extremely underrated it should have at least made honerable mention

[@voll5460]

CallumazinG Well said, Gotham is underrated so much

[@dajuiceman8870]

No. The show has extremely dipped in quality ever since it shifted from mob politics to supernatural bullshit

[@justmalake]

mcmichael3 its a batman show.... there are supernatural villains over there... you do know that right?

[@nathanwyatt291101]

i agree still good tho

[@SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi]

I lost it when it moved to supernatural assshit ! It was good ,but not anymore

[@mvalentinecv7574]

No. 1. Game of thrones 2. Big little lies 3. Stranger things Whatever else............

[@xXRockXLobsterXx]

Never watched Big Little Lies, but it sounds cool.

[@saravana02n]

mvalentinec V true

[@gratchmole8793]

GoT Season 7 was a hollywood-disaster not really worthy of the show. The show needs one more season than it will get.

[@lucderijk578]

[@TheTeoras1]

Game of thrones sucked last year tbh. And stranger things is boring.

[@avitalyk]

Thank CHRIST they put Twin Peaks, I was gonna riot

[@jakefilmfreak8200]

The guy in the honorable mentions clip from mind hunter looks identical to Jeff garlin

[@pizzamalai]

If I predict before watching 1-Game of thrones 2-Stranger things 3- The punisher 4- Riverdale And it goes on...................

[@CharlieAUS]

The punisher was just above average.

[@pizzamalai]

Charlie Wolfe everyone has choices buddy

[@monthscesar]

Wait.. Breaking Bad ?? Thats not 2017 bro.

[@fraan3417]

Breaking bad is not 2017 😂😂

[@pizzamalai]

[@JaniceF24]

wtf game of thrones isn't number 1?!

[@Deviant69]

orphan black? big mouth? bojack horseman?

[@Kaneko2518]

My favourite shows this year: Legion The Runaways The Gifted The Orville Agents of Shield Supergirl The Flash Legends of Tomorrow Arrow The Good Doctor

[@vincentknight27]

Twin Peaks is the only show I completely watched and it is amazing.It deserves to be included on this list.

[@Ashish-wz8vx]

twin peaks is waste of time worst tv series ever

[@artvandelay7940]

perfect love Twin Peaks is the best Show and it's not even close. Sadly most people dont wanna think when they watch tv. It's easier to just watch and accept whats happening.

[@filipbartas576]

you are too dumb for Twin Peaks

[@Th3devilsbackbone]

perfect love Give me a list of reasons why you think it's so bad that arent based around your opinion, like for examples: "It was confusing" "It's weird" "It didnt make any sense". Give me legitimate objective reasons why it was awful, not subjective. I think it is one of the best, if not the best tv show to ever air. It showed that filmmaking and tv shows can still be beautiful art.

[@Ashish-wz8vx]

Derrick Pfohl I watched only first episode and lost my interest in first 15 minutes...

[@yunggumby]

If game of thrones isn’t number 1 then someone needs to be fired at watchmojo

[@CGCentralHD]

waights02 they aren't wrong though...

[@yunggumby]

Someone needs to be fired at watchmojo

[@MrOhcock]

The 7th season was disappointing.

[@selene_7191]

Random stranger it was good but I can see your point

[@adiveler]

The last season was so bad! How can you excuse the "Let's catch a zombie in order to convince an untrustworthy queen to help us" scrip as quality writing?

[@masterbitter7688]

16M subcribers and only have 317,270 views in almost a mont wtf!!!!!

[@reed7421]

If u guys watched literraly everything and u want more try “salvation” its really good

[@Slayyyer84]
