Fediverse Vote: Rank your top 10 Favourite Series (piefed.social)

The community seems big enough across lemmy now, with a lot of active lurkers and posters. Rather than making a Google Survey like r/television does for its yearly vote - that doesn't capture nuance and possibly provide enough shows to account for taste variety, I've decided to simply ask people to list their top 10 favourite shows. Your 10th choice will give the show 1 point, your 9th will give it to 2 points etc with the 1st choice getting 10 points. Eurovision style.

I'll reply to all comments acknowledging that I've recorded them.

The Good Place has hands down the best ending to a show, ever. I can't think of a show that even comes close either.

Hey, I'm guessing miniseries count, right? If not, just ignore numbers 6, 8, and 9.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

They do count. Added

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That Fall of Eagles looks really interesting. I wonder if I can find it on Prime.

[–] Sergio@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's on YouTube, ex: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc6nRGBJOjtERqVfIpPck0_YdFWwWfgsT

Episode 6 is the one with Patrick Stewart.
