#my incredibly plebian watching tastes but i couldn't count anything where i only watched once

[xcziel]

thanks for the tag @xia-xueyi !

yeah, i don't think i could put them in any kind of meaningful ranking either, and i'm counting shows not necessarily that i would re-watch now (bc lately i am just not really watching much of anything) but ones that were/are hugely influential for me and that i *have* re-watched many times in the past

these are more in the order i watched them, because i'm remembering by era and what i was into, and which shows actually influenced all the subsequent media i watched, so it's less top shows as in *quality* and more the top favorite tv shows most important to me personally

and yeah they DO say a lot about me, in retrospect

Battlestar Galactica (1978)

The A-Team (1983)

Miami Vice (1984)

Stargate and Stargate Atlantis (1997-2009)

Farscape (1999-2004)

Supernatural (2005-2011 bc that's when i quit watching really, but for those years i was hardcore)

Doctor Who (Four, Five, and New Who)

Person of Interest (2011-2016)

The Defenders (counting Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Daredevil shows as well, 2015-2017)

Black Sails (2014-2017)

The Untamed (2019)

DMBJ (Reboot, Sha Hai, Ultimate Note, side stories, etc) (2018-???)

The Devil Judge (2021)

Not Me (2022)

Kinnporsche (2022)

you can really tell by the show date ranges which of us are watching more western shows lol. (if i could add a few more i'd include: buffy and angel, roswell, john doe, miss fisher's murder mysteries, killjoys, mr. queen, my country the new age, doom at your service, love between fairy and devil, andor)

"your top 15 favourite tv shows can say a lot about your personality!"

I got tagged by the wonderful @godotismissingx for this. honestly i don't know what they say about my personality, but i just picked 15 shows from the top of my head that i think i can rewatch under my current mood. they are indeed mostly murder and crime shows (yes i'm shallow like that).

besides three-body ranking #1, the rest aren't in any particular order. bold font = cdramas; italic = kdramas; regular = western shows. *means there's at least one gay ship that consumed my soul when i first watched the show LOLLOL.
