Whether a series is any good — craft, writing, whether it holds up — has nothing to do with whether I liked it. One alphabetical table; creator, the years it ran, and the tag saying which of the two it landed in. So far nothing has managed to be genuinely good and a miss for me — that quadrant stays theoretical.
Only series that have properly wrapped make this list — nothing still airing, renewed, or without a confirmed final season, however good it's been so far. They'll show up here once they're done.
