Show culture has been a great conversation starter among people for a very long time. The BBC took over as friends opened up about “X was, I think, much better than y.” The list, published by BBC Culture, lists series that began between 2000 and 2020. Of course, it’s impossible to join this list to the letter, because my personal favorite, Community,is ranked 44th, which is a complete failure! In addition, there are no Turkish series on the list.The full list is as follows:

When you take an in-depth look at the list, it’s possible to see that Netflixis making a good impression in a short time. I also think bbc culture’s staff have overlooked comedy shows a little too much. There are only two comedy series in the top 10 of the list, with contributions from more than 200 TV experts from 43 countries. The dramas, on the other hand, are placed on the list from the baggy purses. At the top of the list, too, plenty of controversy seems to be heating up. Let’s see what shows we praise as old men when we leave the next 20 years behind us.
