What's your top shows of 2015 ?

Mine:
1. Fargo - amazing.
2. The Last Kingdom - Just pure fun, very addicting.

That's pretty much it.
I was very disappointed in GoT...
Very disappointed in Hannibal too - great shots, acting, but they just went too far with this fantasy shit, it's like a poem

Fargo and The Knick.
No contest. I don't event want to choose between them, they're different enough. The quality of these two shows is simply amazing, in every single aspect.

Other shows have been mentioned, but I'll add 12 Monkeys to the list.


There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

Because the OP didn't specify what he meant by "your top shows of 2015" and listed Fargo(2014->first season) as one of his "top shows of 2015"? Laughing

So , I guess, we naturally assumed he meant shows that got their first season released in 2015 and shows that got a new X season released in 2015.

The very much enjoyed ones:
- First place for me goes to Fargo S02, although I'm currently watching the second season of The Knick and I'm liking it so much that I'm starting to doubt.. everything Very Happy
- The Leftovers S02 (definitely was not expecting the show to follow this outcome in terms of quality. Kudos to you, Lindelof, you magnificent troll!)
- Show Me a Hero (almost like an extra-lite version of The Wire, Simon can have all my babies)
- Better Call Saul (expectations were met and surpassed, mainly thanks to Odenkirk and Banks who had such a fantastic chemistry)
- Mr. Robot (the biggest surprise of 2015 for me. Flawed but fresh, and with the right, mostly derp-free amount of 1337)
- Penny Dreadful S02 (rock-solid second season, less Evaporn than usual but perfect atmosphere all around)
- Narcos (interesting style, great Mouracting and contents, definitely an intriguing package)
- Banshee S03 (the show that never disappoints, when it comes to action, boobs and amount of sheer violence)
- Hannibal S03 (the right closure to a show that provided visual pornography in abundance, and some of the eeriest moments on TV)
- South Park S19 (less conventional jokes but more sodocontinuity, and lots of ads! Hilarious as ever to me)

The enjoyed ones:
- Homeland S05 (still a good show, despite everything, with the necessary changes to avoid some inevitable fatigue)
- Ash vs Evil Dead (fantastic throwback to the classics, it nailed the spirit and sense of humour with Bruce still rocking it)
- Daredevil (not many superhero shows I can stomach, this was surprisingly one of them)
- True Detective S02 (a weird beast. Disappointing for the obvious reason, though I would lie if I said that I didn't enjoy the ride, if only for my men Colin Farrel alone)
- Sense 8 (I had mixed feeling about the show, because it tried to satisfy too many "bloggers" and some decisions were just bad, but the final result was still an interesting and emotional one)
- Game of Thrones S05 (the weakest season by far, a shadow of itself dancing in Dorne, but you can do so much after you kill off the entire cast. "Just" alright, hoping that it doesn't actually get any worse)

Then there are the "because I have nothing else to do" ones with the various Walking Dead, Jessica Jones, Blunt Talk etc., ending with the "burn it with fire" one which is The Strain's second season Crying or Very sad Laughing
Some potentially good shows are missing, I will eventually get there. Razz

edit: got carried away again, sorry for the wall of text xD

well they've gone through all the material that existed in the book, and the woman who wrote the book isn't doing another one, so the only way it'd get a season 2 is if the people who worked on the show, come up with their own storyline for what happens next... and thus far they've given no indication they're willing to do that.

we can but hope.

One Punch Man is really that good?

I have major backlog but I've enjoyed
Mr Robot
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel
Rick and Morty
Brooklyn 99

and from light-hearted Limitless (it's not high shelf show but I love the humor and style) and Z Nation (because fuck you).

The rest of great shows are just waiting to be watched - so little time and fucking Fallout 4...

@VonMisk Yeah it's a good satire of all those stupid battle anime.
The humor is golden and the animation is mostly great but don't expect anything beyond that. The story and everything else is paper thin and only exists as a platform for cheap gags. Takes a while to get going and it's intentionally really dumb but the characters are funny and in general it's just a fun show to watch.

3. Better Call Saul
4. The Leftovers
5. Black Sails and Banshee tied up.

and then comes the rest (like Homeland, Walking Dead, Sense8, Mr. Robot, etc.)...

The Knick - a masterpiece on the level of True Detective's season 1, and unlike with TD, the second season is just as good as the first one if not better. You're only allowed to skip this if you really can't stand graphic surgery scenes and even then you're a bad person for doing so.
Mr. Robot - a wonderful surprise. Feels really fresh, love the writing and the actors. The Fight Club inspiration is obvious, but the creators make it work so I don't mind.
Fargo - Peggy Blumquist/10.
Rick and Morty - as crazy and weird as always, the way they manage to incorporate serious drama into this show continues to amaze me.
Shameless - a bit weaker than the last season, but I still love this show and its characters to bits.
Better Call Saul - duh.
Penny Dreadful - even though the overarching plot is not that engaging, the amazing atmosphere, stellar acting and well-written dialogues make up for it.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - these guys can do no wrong. My favorite comedy show, and Season 11 is starting soon, fuck yeah!
