My favorite tv shows of all time
by kristianmatijevic | created - 05 Oct 2022 | updated - 06 Oct 2022 | PublicThis list might be extremely contraversial as it doesn't feature more popular shows like Breaking Bad, Game of thrones, Peaky Blinders, Prison break or The Sopranos as, even though I enjoyed them, they just never stuck out to me. However the shows I will list all have a special place in my heart and that is why I consider them to be the best things I've seen in my life, all in the order in which they were listed. I won't be including miniseries, anime, animated shows and documentaries as I feel like they deserve lists of their own.
