The 25 Best Shows of the Decade

By Mike Fleming Jr

Cinemas enjoyed their best year in almost a decade, as soaring admissions generated bumper returns at the box office.

It's opening night of the drama theater production on and that only means one thing: Not everything goes according to plan.

The decade of 2010 to 2019 was a remarkable one for television, from who was making it, how we watched it, and the types of stories being told on it. Over the course of the last 10 years, Netflix changed from a DVD rental service to an industry-reshaping producer of content, HBO continued to make conversation-dominating television (including one of the biggest shows of all time), and The CW burst onto the scene with not one, but two prestige comedies, as well as an armada of superhero shows.

The return of Drake’s OVO Fest after a year off, Celine Dion’s first tour in a decade, and Shawn Mendes’ hometown gig were among the best T.O. shows of 2019. (Cue the national anthem.)

Getting a songwriting credit is an accomplishment not many reach. For and, the young leads of Disney+'s , they'll add one more impressive skill to their growing resumes as they bop to the top.

Each new year offers an opportunity to be a little better than we were last year, but 2020 is especially significant for resolution-making. The number itself says it all — this is the year for sharpening our vision — and it's the start of a new decade, giving us all even more motivation to get things right and tight. But resolutions for 2020 need not come from fitness coaches and money gurus: you can actually get quite a bit of new year "inspo" from TV.

Cartoons aren't just for kids anymore. So if you've been sleeping on Rick and Morty or Bob's Burgers or BoJack Horseman because they're animated, then you've been missing out on some of the best TV shows of the decade were animated series.

There’s no doubt about it, Justin Bieber, 25, is living his best life. The pop star has been busy working on new tracks, enjoying married life with his love Hailey Baldwin, 23, and is ready to give it all back to his fans! “Justin is so excited to get back on the road with his new music,” a source shares EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife.

"There's too much TV" is a common complaint these days. But the thing is, so much of it is also good TV. Yes, the number of shows debuting new episodes every year is overwhelming and, frankly, impossible to keep up with. But the only reason anyone even cares about keeping up with so many of these shows is because they are delivering moving performances, side-splitting jokes, shocking twists, provocative dialogue, and incredible world-building week after week.

With the decade coming to a close in just a few weeks, people have been busy reflecting on all the best TV of the past 10 years (ourselves included). However, don't let nostalgia distract you from all the great series we were gifted just this year! 2019 featured a staggering amount of new and returning series, and there was no shortage of engaging stories to make you laugh, cry, think, or help you escape into another world when this one became too much.

Depending who you talk to, the new Golden Age of Television might only apply to scripted programs like Game of Thrones and Succession. Not Us. In the past decade, reality TV has followed suit, upping the ante of competition shows’ million-dollar prizes and the stakes of a blow-up fight. And we’ve watched every second of it.
