Your entertainment top 5's of the 2010s

[Matata]

What's your entertainment top 5 lists for the 2010s? Post a list for whatever mediums you're the most interested in.


I like the idea of a top 5 list, because I can be pretty confident in the accuracy of whatever I rattle off top of my head, but a longer list than that starts to require some serious soul searching. But I want to keep a loose format, so post whatever you want.

[#-3]

My Media diet doesn't get enough Music, Books or games to have a top 5.

TV - HBO clearly one they decade.
The News Room
The Boys
Silicon Valley
Big Little Lies
Black Mirror
I must like Series' that twist the frame they would normally sit in.

Movies - Marvel and Disney writ large clearly won the decade.
Infinity war
Civil War
Ralph Breaks the Internet
Homecoming
The Last Jedi (I know unpopular opinion, but Kylo in this movie was the villain of the decade for me, don't need to rehash peoples fan fiction, i'll agree the disagree).
I must like movies that are careful to provide good motivation for their key conflict.

Podcasts
Common Sense
History of Rome
Philosophize This
Freakonomics radio
The Strategists (defunct but honourable mention still, for the decade. I really enjoyed the insights into the 2015 elections, very informative about how the political cake is baked).
I like dense information in my podcasts, there are others I might enjoy even more, but I would probably agree that they get a little too dense to recommend.

Holy fata what am I missing with Mad Max: Fury Road? Or is it a meme or something to put it on your list? I thought it was lame, boring, stupid and vapid.

Look up top movies of the decade on Google and you'll find it's on most of the list.

I'm with you. If this is one of the all time great movies, it is one of the few things in life that was able to fly right over my head. But I've seen it applauded so many times I didn't really take notice to people talk about how great it is.

I think your words are a little strong, but I found the movie generally, uninteresting.
