"Breaking Bad" doesn't make the cut because it strays too far from its own rules, but it's still a solid show. The satire is a fun twist on the typical male antihero trope, and its deep ensemble cast is a treat. Also on the list: The Leftovers, a comedy on Comedy Central that sometimes tugs at the heartstrings but ultimately excels in being an outrageously ballsy buddy comedy.

There were many excellent dramas that made the decade stand out for its auteurism. Many shows started with a single isolated story and quickly expanded into a sprawling web of characters, stories, and themes. Orange Is the New Black, for example, started as a story about a rich white woman going to prison, but ended up telling the story of everyone in the world. This ambitious series eventually failed because it was too complicated to keep the audience's attention.

"Girls" is one of the most controversial shows of the decade. It may only have a small audience on HBO, but it became a cultural flashpoint when it first debuted. Its ambiguous tone and frank characterization made it a cultural snob, and it redefined the television genre of twenty-something angst. Its filmmaking style also allowed it to earn its place in the top 25 list.

The best sitcoms of the decade were in fact more like "hangout" comedies than "stuck-in-between" shows. The "New Girl" series from Fox was no exception, as it was primarily intended as a showcase for its star Zooey Deschanel. Its quirky style made it more engrossing for viewers, and the actors nailed the characters and storylines perfectly.

"Fleabag" is another British drama series that was a popular hit in 2010. It follows a young woman named Phoebe Waller-Bridge, a struggling writer, as she searches for the meaning of life. She's dealing with the death of her mother and her best friend. It's an eerie, touching drama that is a must-watch for the decade. And don't forget to check out these other TV shows from 2010!

"Good Wife" debuted on CBS a year before the decade. Although it was a traditional broadcast network legal drama, it also had elements that were serialized. The show's star, Julianna Margulies, was also a big hit, and Alicia Florrick's obsession with the fake cable antihero drama "Darkness at Noon" was a major plot point in the series.

"Game of Thrones" was the tv show of the decade, but the show was often silly and clunky. But the decade had its moments of greatness, and while it was a disappointment overall, it topped the list of best TV shows from 2010 in terms of diversity. While Game of Thrones was a popular series, it wasn't a particularly good decade for drama. Its popularity, however, was high.
