This is an intensely re-ordered favorites list after doing a lot of rewatches the past couple of years. I'm including miniseries if they are ten episodes or fewer. If there is something with a shorter running time but more episodes than ten, too bad.
My thoughts upon seeing my list: I am a weeb with a terrible taste in comedy, but at least there's no Scorsese or Kubrick here, so I deserve some credit for that.
