I would say it’s more generically US ‘prestige’ focused (with some sitcoms) biased. There’s a lot of themes and different types of shows within that, many of which are absolutely socially conscious.

I don’t think it’s possible to ever have a top 100 without bias. This is just measuring critical audience and critic reputation across the major websites.

Well obviously this list is very disproportionately overrepresented by Americans or at least the Anglosphere which very much tilts its results. Mr. Robot by your metric would be an example of this in many ways. I haven’t myself watched many of the shows here so I can’t know what percentage have non-white leads or focus, and to what percentage they do

I am just wondering if you consider traditional ‘male’ settings like sci-fi or dystopia content inherently ‘male’ regardless of the sex of the lead. That was my curiosity regarding Fallout and TLOU.

Women certainly play computer games, but demographically with stuff like TLOU it is much more likely to be male.

I don’t know regarding ‘minority focused’ specifically. What would be an equitable number here in you mind?

To be clear, those are not the only examples of female led shows in that list.

Do you consider Fallout or The Last of Us as examples? I didn’t list those shows because as franchises they obviously have a much larger male audience, but if you are going purely by lead… then it also counts. And many others.

I also realise I missed Big Little Lies, The Morning Show and Fleabag.

High Potential and Deadlock don’t have anywhere near the average rating and amount of votes to get near a list like this.

Also I would argue The Queen’s Gambit, When They See Us, Shogun, Mrs Maisel, Anne With An E, Normal People, Maid, Unbelievable, Atlanta, This Is Us, Heartstopper, Mare of Easttown - all present on this list, are all exceptions to your claim as either being female-led, or having notable progressive themes and/or a heavily minority cast.

So what happens now in regards to Dbzer and Hexbear, if I may ask? That seemed pretty unruly

Yes, but they can’t make use of the name on Reddit. So if you didn’t like how r/movies was made, the odds are there’s no intuitive name for a subreddit to take left to try and compete with them.

Not that you even can effectively compete with them because subreddit promotion on reddit is total garbage.

Watching some objectively bad shows makes you realize how braindead a lot of reviewers are. Especially with modern shows that have 40+ minute filler episodes that exist just because the streaming service wanted to stretch the season out to 10+ episodes.

I mean, this has always existed. TV shows were much more stuffed with filler during the episodic network era.

Btw OP you considered taking data from Serializd too.

Seems to work. You will only see it if you login from piefed.

Piefed automatically has cross-community posting. You can see the comments here there from piefed.social if you link to same url.

Not an expert here, but stuff like Ted Lasso?

I have it under “Tabletop” on Forumverse for context:

Op, might I suggest cross-posting this to [email protected] too. I am biased as I run that place but this topic is technically off-topic here.

Tbh they do also cancel low-rated shows too. You just don’t care when they do.

Or at least until it makes migration seamless

It obviously depends on the community, but for literature/television/art/video-games/movies/sporting/news communities there’s always a stream of relevant news and commentary and releases to post.

Also we built up the original lemm.ee television instance to higher straits before that. It was soaring just before lemm.ee announced its shut down and put a spanner in the works.
