Okay, so what are the best TV shows?
By "best" I mean your favorites, regardless of how popular or influential they are or were. Preferably, tell us why.
I'll start.
Firefly (In the proper order)
Probably one of my favorite shows ever. The characters are quirky and fun and the setting of the universe is just enjoyable and gritty. The unsettles, by-the-seat of your pants setting is refreshing.
Dexter
The main character is a serial-killer. His sociopathy and darkness allows him to reveal aspects of humanity (social interactions, sense of justice, relationships and love) that carry so many pre-defined notions and yet stands them on their head by his inability to (as he thinks) grasp them. It sort of echos every moment I've felt annoyed dealing with people I didn't want to, the disconnect that comes when someone leaves my life, et cetera.
How I Met Your Mother
The show is funny in general but in watching all of the episodes, you can tell (or at least they did a great job if this is NOT the case) that from start to finish that certain things were destined to happen which leaves a lot of room for running-jokes and anticipation.
