Big, big decade for the small screen

Streaming services got into commissioning their own content and TV changed forever

29 December 2019 - 00:00 By Timon Smith

With the launch of Netflix as a fully-fledged streaming service and original content producer in 2010, the small screen landscape was indelibly and forever changed. Add Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney Plus and Apple TV, and series viewers have seemingly endless new content to choose from. So how to decide what have been the best series of the decade? It's an impossible task, but I've made it easier by excluding shows that began prior to 2010, even if they finished their runs in the past 10 years - so no Breaking Bad or Mad Men on this list...
