"The Fights for Battle" and "The House of Cards" brought politics to the forefront, "Rick and Morty" and "Community" enjoyed breaking down TV conventions, "Big Mouth" and "American Holly" summarizing the youthful and pre-youth experience, and "Westworld" was The most exciting thing about the screen. Part Three of the Decade Series Parade

Parade 100 Teenage Series: Places 40-21

40. Westworld

Originally: Westworld
Broadcasting Body: HBO (in Israel on HOT, yes and Cellcom TV)
Years: 2016 - Today

Yes, the second season was mostly a big, tiring mind, a muddy digging and a devotion to a puzzle whose composition did not produce a particularly impressive picture. A counter-reaction to the wisdom of the masses who enlisted to crack all the secrets and twists presented by the first season. And yet, no one can take away from Westworld that first season. The fact that for ten weeks she was the most exciting and magnetizing series on television, a masterpiece of acting, directing, editing, acting and mostly writing. "Westworld" was a screenwriting job at the time - the story of androids whose purpose is to make humans available in the Wild West-like park, until everything goes awry.

The creators of the series, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, then juggled with a large number of balls and managed to make everyone finally land in peace - the end of the first season presented us with the story complete and connected to the film, not only did it brilliantly, but also Exciting. One that used robots to emphasize humanity on its most exalted and rotten sides. Like "Mr. Robot" and "Legion," "Westworld" has revealed to us the plot in fragmentation and mockery as its heroes experience it, assimilating us completely with its story, however complex, partial, however dubious. A story that must have taken into account that he alienated some viewers, gradually scattered parts of the audience, and that only at the end of his ten episodes rewarded viewers and made clear how complete and complete. Despite all its problems, Westworld's achievement is just as amazing. And yet it will be interesting to see how the third season, which arrives in 2020, will draw lessons from the Tronics against season two.

39. The good for battle

Originally: The Good Fight
Broadcasting Body: CBS All Access (yes in Israel)
Years: 2017 - Today

It was hard to ignore the crazy political events of this decade, and in line with quite a few series emerged to say something about the state of America and the world - some of which we will meet later in the parade. Neither of them did it as directly as the "good for battle". The "Good Woman" daughter series, defined as a legal drama, made it clear by her original name - "The Good Fight" - and then also opened in the scene that was a statement for everything: heroine Diane Lockhart (Christine Bransky) watches the shock at President Trump's inauguration ceremony. This strange thing actually happened.

These are not just plot lines stemming from Washington's political reality (although the series does occur in Chicago at all), and specifically Trump, but those that are becoming more and more extreme on the far-flung frontier. But they are not really unfounded. It is not so hard to believe that an escort girl has any photographic evidence of the pee-talk between the US president and Russian prostitutes, or incitement against lawyers has caused anyone with a firearm to rise and harm them systematically, or that there is an underground of liberal activists trying to fight back by unlawful means. All of this would have been rattled if the series had not stood behind two of today's gifted filmmakers on American television, Robert and Michelle King. In their hands the "good for battle" becomes a smart and entertaining work, self-aware and thought provoking.

38. Silicon Valley

Originally: Silicon Valley
Broadcasting Body: HBO (in Israel on yes, HOT and Cellcom TV)
Years: 2014-2019

It was the big decade of the high-tech industry. Not only did she become dominant in a huge range of areas in our lives, but she brought out more and more stars, including Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Peter Gregory and Eric Schmidt. And while these are calling themselves Iron Man, wiping out entire industries and finding more and more ways to channel our cash information - the comedy about them reflected the much less sexy parts of those who promise to improve the world. Her heroes were greedy, hedonistic, socially impaired, preoccupied with personality worship to the extreme lack of self-awareness. Still, somehow, it's a series that manages to show empathy and not be too mean.

Duality is credited to creator Mike Judd, who knew how to navigate his heroes amid insults, meta jokes, internal industrial references and razor-sharp wit. Sometimes her heroes were simply a great cartoon of specific insight (such as Russ Henman, The Nine Zero Man and the Car Doors Rising Up), sometimes an eternal answer to others (Gene Young to Ehrlich, Dinesh to Gilfoil). And while we were swept away by her in a dream of the wealth and glory of the Exit, she also knew how to sanctify the innocent and goofy. That's how Big Head and Jared came into the world, one of the sweetest sidekicks seen on screen in the past decade. So, too, Silicon Valley has managed to survive and evolve over time, shattering our old stigmas about genius nerds and rewriting them.

37. Orange is the new black

Originally: Orange Is the New Black
Broadcast Body: Netflix (HOT in Israel)
Years: 2013-2019

The importance of "this new black orange" for Netflix's meteoric rise and therefore the current television decade can be read here and in detail. But there is one influence not mentioned in this article, and it is in this sense that anchors everything else - the loss of judgment. "This New Black Orange" enters the viewer into female prison walls and bombards it with many types of women: beautiful, ugly, scary, heavyweight, addicted, crazy, loud, delusional, scared, anguished and painful. They all look like one orange piece bundled under the daunting name of "criminals," but Genji Cohen spent seven seasons proving to be, ultimately, human.

It's not just the structure of the series that reveals in each episode part of the background story of each prisoner and her circle, it's not just the opening song that begs us to remember their faces and voices, and it's not just the dialogues that make them occasionally blurt out facts about the outside world as if they were the most up to date . The basic mission statement of "Orange" was to get to know them, honestly and sincerely, and to get rid of the notion that prisoners and prisoners, current or released, are inferior people who are worthy of class, discrimination, prejudice and disqualification, just because they dared to make a mistake and openly pay for it.

Maybe they are the ones who understand the term "atonement" much better than we do? Maybe a man who says he is a released prisoner deserves at least the same respect and esteem as a man who has never been jailed, but surely made some mistake in his life? Why are we rushing to judge people based on one detail in their past? Why are we rushing to judge people in general? In two different TV series that I have recently seen, characters who were in prison declared a kind of dramatic exposure that resulted in a complete halt to the plot and the scene. In both cases, and this is the truth, my brain wandered for one second to "Orange is the New Black," and then returned to the screen and said - "So what?"

36. The Marvelous Mrs. Measles

Broadcasting Body: Amazon Prime Video
Years: 2017 - Today

The secret of the power of "Wonderful Mrs. Meisel" resembles that of Midge, the wonderful heroine at the center: she knows how to do a little bit of everything and at a dizzying pace. It has the grandiosity and splendor of the 1950s, the fashion and the beautiful people, the engineered entertainment industry and the musicality that is common to all. But on the other hand, it also has intimacy and daily affairs, which wisely and effectively reflect issues such as raising children, family life, careers and male-female relationships. She paints everyone with the same hectic fervor of endless work. As if if you stop for a moment and breathe, you will suddenly find that the world has left it behind.

In the days of the Gilmore Girls (also from Amy Sherman-Palladino's creator), this intensity had an excruciating price of unnecessary dandruff. In "Wonderful Mrs. Meisel," the comedy engages her with a purpose and paints her with brilliant insights into life. But not the least, "Wonderful Mrs. Meisel" is a celebration of superbly played characters. Beginning with the wonderful Rachel Brosnan in the lead role, Alex Borstin (Susie) as the antipathetic and cynical agent and Tony Shalhub as the Jewish father who steals the show in every scene. Together, they create a funny, colorful and entertaining piece that is a pleasure to be assimilated every time.

35. Sherlock

Originally: Sherlock
Broadcasting body: BBC (in Israel in HOT and yes)
Years: 2010 - Today

When you think about it, in the first place the great danger of "Sherlock" was to act like the hero in the center and fall in love with herself. The two creators, Stephen Moffatt and Mark Gattis, did not let us forget that they were terribly sophisticated and brilliant and knowledgeable and genius than all of us. And while they were careful, making sure that they were twisted and disproved to the point where somehow everything was personally related to Sherlock Holmes, a dog-like feeling was finally created around his tail.

But until it happened, and sometimes while it was happening, "Sherlock" was one of the great things on TV. Contemporary adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's characters and stories. It was Sherlock's narcissism that made the series so entertaining. He was not only the smartest of them all but knew it and therefore despised them, and thanks to the wonderful Benedict Cumberbatch it was very easy to believe, which made this adaptation so entertaining, witty and funny. With the help of Martin Freeman in the role of Dr. Watson, who joins Sherlock and takes care to mediate between him and the normal people - that is, we the viewers - creates a strong and charming connection between the two characters that has been the great power of the series, positioning them as one of the greatest duos on television for generations.

34. End of Fucking World

Originally: The End of the F *** ing World
Broadcasting Body: Channel 4 (in Israel on Netflix)
Years: 2017 - Today

There is no way around it: "The Fucking World" was a perfect mini-series but ceased to be one. She is no longer a mini-series and no longer immaculate. A growing list of series intended to last one season but gained more life. But even with a less-than-perfect second season, it's still a great piece of work. Although its plot takes place nowadays, it has something Old School deliberately, and the story of two lost and lost boys who connect with each other and then get involved with the police, brought with restraint and refinement even as blasts and blood boil over the screen. England's rural landscapes envelop the two heroes, highlighting their depravity of the here and now, of this world.

Charlie Kovel's exact script is bustling with so many beautiful and beautiful dialogues and sentences, and is backed by a tremendous game by Alex Laother and Jessica Barden, whose chemistry feeds the entire series. Convincing that the enchanting relationship between the two clumsy animations they embody is about to happen, and the blending of its elements is what makes "the end of the fucking world" so wonderful. A work that takes on pain and darkness and draws from it an expansive human warmth.

33. The Good Place

Originally: The Good Place
Broadcasting Body: NBC (in Israel on Netflix)
Years: 2016-2020

The salient feature of Mike Shore's works ("Garden and Landscape Department," "Brooklyn Nine Nine") is the belief in the good of humanity, and the ability and desire of us all to improve. This optimistic approach is the basis of the "good place," which came to the screens at a time when the dubiousness of these values ​​was just increasing. While it would certainly not be far-fetched to call it escapism, it is precisely its planting in reality that has made it prominent and different from many other comedies over the past decade. Shore did not see heaven and hell as fantastic or sublime with earthly life, but almost as a natural continuation.

From this position, the series is immersed in many philosophical and moral experiments, exploring more and more situations that present its heroes in basic human challenges, the results of which outline their fate over time. And while not all of its heroes have endured enough to develop through them (we're looking at you Jason), the inner grace and chemistry created between them has carried it forward. And perhaps above all, the "good place" was simply there at the right time to provide comfort in times of toxic humanity. Reminds us that we can transcend it if we really want to.

32. Barry

Originally: Barry
Broadcasting Body: HBO (in Israel on HOT, yes and Cellcom TV)
Years: 2018 - Today

Alec Berg has already helped Mike Judd make Silicon Valley one of the gems of this decade, and has continued to do so with Bill Haider in the comedy he created for HBO. The story of an assassin who gets into acting studies with Guru plays a narcissist (Henry Winkler) and decides to make a career change. The dichotomy between these two worlds is the one that feeds "Barry," the protagonist's quest for normality and truth that he encounters in the acting department, but there is also no normality and truth there, it is the ultimate fake Hollywood.

What is beautiful and special about "Barry" is its huge difference from its protagonist. Her hero is constantly torn between the worlds of his own, not closed to himself, while the series simply knows who she is and confident in what she does to the smallest nuances. This is also why her sub-characters are so awesome, in particular Noh Hank (Anthony Kerrigan), the cutest gangster on television. Barry's dedication to her many faces and the plausible development of the plot on all levels is what captures her great elements - crime, drama, comedy - into a whole that even exceeds all its parts.

31. Heirs

Originally: Succession
Broadcasting Body: HBO (in Israel on HOT, yes and Cellcom TV)
Years: 2018 - Today

In its second season, which aired this year, "Heirs" positioned itself as HBO's most talked-about series in the post-Game of Thrones era. Given the era in which we live, trampled under the boot of the one percent, it is hard not to understand the epic and give it up. The black comic drama follows the wealthy Roy family, a version of the family of media mogul Rupert Murdoch. With the father's older age and medical problems, his children begin to struggle for control of the empire he has established, but the father does not intend to take his place so quickly, and none of these people take any steps to do what he thinks is right.

The easiness that "heirs" portrays is done in pose and exaggeration, but it pulls the air off the balloon with the help of a wink and cunning that is backed by a precise game that relies on quite a bit of improvisation, lighthearted staging and a minor soundtrack that manages to preserve the epic (including one of the most beautiful screen openings). This is how the series defies us: these are the people who influence our lives, the ones who carry and spend a billion here and a billion there as we bargain for a shirt on the market, shaping our collective consciousness as a matter of doing so through their media outlets. These are the people who pull in the strings of the people who pull in the strings, carried over our boss’s boss’s head. Let's scorn them.

30. American hooligan

Originally: American Vandal
Broadcasting Body: Netflix
Years: 2017-2018

For several years Netflix has been the ideal place for blossoming shows like "American Hooligan." The demand for more and more content demanded an appeal to new and brave paths. Not just on Netflix but with all the competitors. It was a great and wonderful blossom, but just as it came, it also went down. Despite the huge potential for new stories, "American Hooligan" has only had two seasons. It may be the searing cancellation of this decade, at least for me, and as evidenced by the change of direction of television giants at the end of the decade - from original and special series to major showcases or just another of those battered genres.

The plot of "American Hooligan," a satire on the real-life documentary crime genre that swept TV in the mid-teens, sounded like a silly teen movie: Someone sprayed 27-pins on high school cars in a small American town. Who is the culprit? This is what the program sought to test. It quickly became clear that "American Hooligan" is a much brighter piece of the pee-kitty humor (very funny!) That it boasts. In both the first season and the second, which opened a new story about someone who made an entire school out of control uncontrollably, she did exactly what the real works do in the genre that stung: tell a story about a specific injustice from which a big systemic decay image emerges, thus providing deep, honest comments Incredibly about today's society.

Since "American Hooligan" deals with teens, these comments have become eye-opening diagnoses for this younger generation, and it is itself the best youth series of the decade. Through her young characters, she unveiled a story full of brilliant - and sometimes very exciting - twists about class, rendering, corruption, police manipulations, cyberbullying and deep loneliness. Underneath the humor of her lavatory resided a very soulful soul, which made her one of the highest TV series.

29. True Detective

Originally: True Detective
Broadcasting Body: HBO (in Israel on HOT, yes and Cellcom TV)
Years: 2014 - Today

The life of a "real detective" was very upside down. Season one (with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey) turned into a cited cultural phenomenon, an awkward second season (with Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams and Colin Farrell) crashing through the noise, cancellation threshold and respite three and a half years, then a really wonderful third season (with Maharashla Ali) . At its best, when not seen as a parody of itself as in the second season, "True Detective" recruited atrocities such as a pedophile network or the disappearance of two little brothers to tell stories about our deepest fears, and through them, about humans in general. Sometimes magnetically and excitingly, sometimes with restraint and lyricism. Always with great grace that surrounds the nightmare in the center. More than "True Detective" is a series about murder mysteries, it is a work on the characters that surround them and are influenced by them.

The writing of Nick Fitzoletto, the creator of the series, was strong enough to attract movie stars (and in the first season was also backed by Carrie Poconga's wonderful directing), thus largely opening the door to what seems obvious today, five years after it arrived. McConaughey joined "True Detective" in the midst of a revamp as a high-quality actor, and even won an Oscar for his role in the movie "The Dallas Customer Club" alongside the series. In 2019, Maharashala Ali came in when he was already a fresh Oscar winner for "Moonlight" and was a favorite for another "Green Book" which did indeed chart. Television in general and mini-series / anthologies in particular have become equivalent in quality to big stars like Emma Stone, Jonah Hill (both in "Mad"), Jim Carrey ("Childish"), Julia Roberts ("Homecoming") "), Amy Adams (" Sharp Objects ") and of course Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep (" Big Little Lies "). "True Detective" is an integral part of this revolution.

28. Nothing expert

Originally: Master of None
Broadcasting Body: Netflix
Years: 2015 - Today

It has been a bountiful decade for comedians who became filmmakers and TV stars. But while the names of CC prisoners and Amy Schumer remained close to the home turf of their standup spectrum on the small screen as well, "Atlanta" and "Nothing Expert" managed to do much more. In Aziz Ansari's case, the process was gradual. The first season was a reflection of his cute and heartfelt character, with his adorable friends and New York's dating scene. And while those in themselves were a witty and heartwarming series, this is the second season that turns "Nothing Specialist" into a truly impressive piece.

The series actually became a sort of anthology with each chapter exploring another aspect of Dave's (Ansari's) life, whether dealing with his devout Muslim family, the process of leaving his good friend's closet, Dennis (a chapter that won Lana Withh Bami), a beautiful chapter About relationships between people who usually don't get the tan, and so on. Each of the chapters is different about different capillaries, but with the same sweetness and human love that characterizes Dov. And along with all of this, throughout the second season, a heartfelt and heartbreaking love story developed, which fills with emotion and sincerity that gave the series an anchor for a beautiful melancholy shooting.

27. Big mouth

Originally: Big Mouth
Broadcast Body: Netflix
Years: 2017 - Today

Funny, repulsive and disturbing series about the horrors of adolescence. It is, on one foot, the story of "Big Mouth," so simple and so obvious. Quite amazing that although there were and still are animated series that love to shock, no one bothered to make such a series until 2017. You could call it a niche, but adolescence is a pretty universal thing. And yet, "Big Mouth" is an example of a wager on an extreme series on an adventurous platform that has become a critical success and in the audience, so much so that it has been renewed for three more seasons.

Although slightly less than the first season, Nick Carroll and Andrew Goldberg's comedy goes well beyond a series of crazy moments and imaginary characters (including the hormones, the shame wizard and the ghost of Duke Ellington in the protagonist's attic, why not). It is full of youthful heart and spirit that not only overwhelms the horrifying and so funny moments of adolescence, but also its great magic. Bad moments and camaraderie that exist both in the characters and in each of the viewers who was ever small or developed in relation to his friends, anyone who first got menstruation at the least suitable moment, everyone who fell in love and everything went awry. The Ultimate Sex Education Series.

26. Key & Peele

Broadcasting Body: Comedy Central (not aired in Israel)
Years: 2012-2015

Since the end of "Key & Peele" in 2015, Jordan Peel has become an Oscar winner (for directing the movie "Escape") and one of the most original creators in the industry. Anyone who has watched his and Keegan-Michael Key's skit shows must have already recognized the genius in real time. It's hard to understand why the local franchisee didn't bother to buy it. Because she's too "black"? Too narrow for the local audience? It is a strong suspicion, and it is vanity to their name. Key and Phil did address a lot of race issues in their skit show, but they are also two brilliant geeks, bursting with talent, popular culture enthusiasts who have done wonders with such materials. Jordan Peel is one of the greatest comedians of his generation, a real magnet, who devotes himself to his characters at almost unintelligible levels. His imitation of Barack Obama was crowned the most successful US president he ever saw, and Keegan-Michael Key himself managed to shine regularly despite his tremendous talent.

"Key & Peele" was invested, filmed wonderfully and given great attention to detail. In almost every episode, at least one explosive skit could be encountered, really comical classics. The racist zombies who prefer not to eat black minds, reveal about Steve Arkle's true power in "family packaging," the friends who tell each other how "Beach" said to their partner, two rival blacks trying to sneak into their college chapel choir, the dating Of Megan Beechit and Andre the rag, and perhaps the highlight: the perfect "Niger Rutown."

Throughout "Key & Peele" its block has invested in a way that is not usually seen in programs of its kind, until each skit looks like a small movie. In "Nigrotown," the skit that also sealed the series, all of its elements came to the trenches. A sleek, colorful and striking appearance that, by the way, razor-sharp social criticism for the attitude that blacks receive in both general and specific policing. The dissonance between fantasy and reality claims "Nigrotown" in many tiers and makes it a masterpiece that attests to the entire series.

If Netflix has already loaded South Park seasons recently, what are some of Comedy Central's more treasures for it? This series deserves to be redeemed in Israel as well. In the meantime, here are dozens of skits on her official YouTube page.

25. House of Cards

Originally: House of Cards
Broadcasting Body: Netflix (Israel in HOT, yes Cellcom TV and Netflix)
Years: 2013-2018

Naturally, the legacy of "House of Cards" will be much more remembered for its aftermath, the consistent deterioration in level as it progressed and the awful episode of Kevin Spacey. However, this is an injustice to one of the series that defined this decade and its evolution. If in the previous decade, it was the "White House" that dictated a longing for political utopia (even if it was naïve and impossible), Netflix's first-ever series chose to portray the focus of political power from a perspective of contempt, cynicism, greed, and evil. There are cultural scholars and even political commentators who would swear that if it wasn't Frank Underwood, it wouldn't have been Donald Trump.

The first two seasons, under the close supervision of David Fincher, very effectively conveyed the message that "House of Cards" sought to convey. Not only will we be ready to applaud a person who is the epitome of all evil in public administration, but we will be ready to enter into a real relationship with him while breaking the fourth wall and "secret partnership" in his schemes. Quietly, we say to ourselves, we would also vote for him at the ballot box. At its height, the "House of Cards" served as a window into dirty deals, opportunism and detachment, to the narcissism we have long come to know in US and foreign parliaments. Some would say that, on the contrary, this criticism has become a form of official kosher stamp of conduct that it has sought to denounce.

24. Rick and Morty

Originally: Rick and Morty
Broadcasting Body: Adult Swim (in Israel on Netflix)
Years: 2013 - Today

In recent years, much of the headlines that "Rick and Morty" sweetheart deal with are fans - a fandom more difficult to find in this decade than Justin Roeland's animated comedy (which also mixes both heroes) and Dan Harmon. This included cheating on women who were added to the writing team during the course, including actual harassment and revealing personal information, and harassment at McDonald's branches because they had no classic sauce mentioned in the series, so police had to intervene in some cases. The creators themselves shunned this vocal and horrific segment of the series' lovers, characterized by misogyny, racism and generally being human crap.

It is hard to imagine a more inverse and extreme correlation between the quality of a series's fans and the series itself, than in the case of "Rick and Morty." The combination of animation and comedy with science fiction has already proven itself in the past, and Rick and Morty fill the space left by "Futurama" as one of the most brilliant and original on-screen series. Rick and Morty have her problems, headlined by Rick's selfless and invincible character, something that is evident because the series is awake to him and tries to sharpen, but those bottom line are dwarfed by its virtues.

What was born as a twisted take on Doc and Marty from "Back to the Future" - in which the older eccentric genius is irresponsible drunk and the young boy is his grumpy and spine grandson - has become a work that exploits its multitude of worlds, dimensions and adventures to present a comedy that is at the same time Calculated in great detail and also anarchist, almost nihilistic. Organized chaos that examines the very existence of humanity and our place in the world. But apparently all this would not have been so effective, and certainly not inviting, had it not been for Rick and Morty to dig into the souls of her heroes, including parents Jerry and Beth (Chris Farnell and Sarah Chuck) and Sister Summer (Spencer Grammer). An excavation that sometimes produces existential despondency, but often also consolation and hope are essential.

23. Community

Originally: Community
Broadcasting Body: NBC (in Israel on HOT and Cellcom TV)
Years: 2009-2015

When you say "Community" you usually think about the boundaries of the genre that came out of the comedy created by Dan Harmon (one of "Rick and Morty"). Think of brilliant paintball episodes, homages to a variety of television and film types, including action, western, horror, documentary and animation. Harmon used his plan to dismantle and rebuild American sitcom conventions, constantly analyzing itself, comedic television classics from the past, familiar structures (compilation episodes, bottle episodes all happening in the same room to save production costs and more) and so on. Like a wild and fun communication course in Grindale, the community college at the center of the series. The result is some of the most amazing and ingenious episodes of the decade, headed by "Modern Warfare" (The First Paintball Chapter) and "Human Memory Paradigms" (The First Collection).

But beyond all this - which was often groundbreaking and laughing - Community simply was wonderful. True to her name, her main goal was to put together a bunch of rejected people, to create a community, an alternative family that we would have fun to return to every week. Indeed, beyond all the crazy experiments in structure, "Community" succeeded in this simple task - it was a pleasure to stay with its heroes. Partly thanks to the perfect casting work, which among other things brought Alison Berry and Donald Glover to the forefront and catapulted their careers. The chemistry between the actors was sincere and sweeping, and the community was so strong that she was even able to withstand the many changes that occurred in the latter part of her life.

22. The story of a slave

Originally: The Handmaid's Tale
Broadcasting Body: Hollow (in Israel in HOT)
Years: 2017 - Today

although the series is based on a novel written over 30 years ago and deals with the future, "The Handmaid's Tale" has become one of the works that represent the present in which we live . The story takes place against the backdrop of a grueling totalitarian regime, so it's not exactly a compliment to 21st-century human society, but despite the sometimes unpalatable viewers, "slave story" lovers have seen it as a warning and a call to action. 2017, when the drama began in Holo, was also the year when the MeToo movement was formed, which turned the entertainment industry on its head and finally gave women around the world the opportunity to make their voices heard and listen attentively.

As part of the movement (and from Time's Up coming in early 2018), the series burst out of television screens and into the real world, taking to the streets of women dressed in red robes at demonstrations all over the world. From a more cynical perspective, it was a quality and free publication for Hollow, and it paid off for the streaming platform as "The Handmaid's Tale" became her first series to win the prestigious Emmy Award. Not only that, but as a result, Hollow became the first streaming platform for my mother to win a drama series.

But the series couldn't have done it all if it wasn't a quality piece either. The photography, writing, directing and soundtrack were some of the most professional and unique we have seen in recent years, despite being at the peak of the television era. And, of course, the performance of series star Elizabeth Moss, and the cast of cast alongside her, will never be remembered as some of the most powerful in a decade.

Broadcasting Body: CBS (in Israel on yes. Currently fully available on Cellcom TV and Amazon Prime Video)
Years: 2009-2016

Over the past decade, cable and streaming networks have completely eradicated the hegemony of the broadcast, a trend that will probably come to us eventually. In the United States, "The Good Wife" was the final relic of these series, a last-ditch lineage that includes breakthrough works such as "Blues for the Blue," "Attorneys for the Islands," "ER," "The White House," and others. The latest broadcast series that was nominated for the Emmy Award in the Best Drama category. Even her spin-off, "The Good for the Battle" (39th place), has moved to CBS's streaming service and is content with ten episodes a season.

Time and time again it was surprising to see how "good woman", a legal drama as though generic but actually one that likes to scramble the cards, able to maintain a high level over time. Contrary to what we have become accustomed to in recent years from our quality series, "The Good Wife" did not settle for eight or ten or 13 episodes, but was Old School - 22 episodes per season, as is customary in the series of American broadcast networks. Sometimes that number was apparent, episodes that went without direction and plot lines created to fill the minutes. But for most of her life she was one of the best TV series, and certainly one of the most impressive of them. Outstanding Swan singing for a glorious heritage.

Like every parade, the one in front of you reflects something relative and partial, in part because of the vast amount of content of this decade. The raters - Ido Isaiah, Ilan Kaprov, Ophir Artzi, Amit Slonim, Natalia Yermin, Ophir Sagarsky, Pini Eskel and Hadar Torowitz - chose the decade series with a mix of quality, importance and love, not necessarily in this order. Since there is a difference between series that run over time and those that are initially limited to a certain number of episodes, the parade does not include mini-series. This is also why we chose not to include series that started in 2019, despite our great love for much of it. At this point, the teenage fabric is unclear, and we will probably meet many of them in the next decade, and certainly in December, in this year's series parade.
