\"\"<\/a>I can think back to when I was a kid and TV consisted of Family Ties<\/b>, The Wonder Years<\/b> and Cheers<\/b>. The ’90s brought Seinfeld<\/b> and Friends<\/b>, the ’00s shows like 24<\/b> and The Sopranos<\/b>. But since cutting the cord, it should be<\/i> difficult to keep up on the new shows, but clearly it isn’t. <\/p>\n

I’ve spent more time since Erin and I moved to Sweden than I did in the decade before it. As we start a new show, Ozark, I recalled the countless shows before it that we’ve binge-watched over the last half-decade. The quality varies, of course, but a number of them can live up to the Seinfelds<\/b> of the past. I thought I’d try to reflect on this fact, partly for my own posterity, really. Asterisks denote completed shows.<\/p>\n
