This decade seems destined to be remembered for its great cable dramas, which proved that there is indeed an audience for complicated fare that doesn’t necessarily provide an answer at the end of an hour (or even at the end of the series itself, as The Sopranos showed). Narrowing the best dramas of the decade down to just a top ten, or even a second ten, was a tough task, but it provided a chance to reminisce on some of the best shows of all time. Topping my list is HBO’s least recognized classic:
最近这十年似乎注定会因其出品的伟大电视剧而被我们记住。这说明确实有一批观众喜欢复杂的电视剧,即使一个小时之后(甚至是整部电视剧结束之后,比如《黑道家族》)不给他们答案也无妨。把近十年的最佳电视剧的数量缩减到前十名,甚至是前二十名的范围都不是件容易的事,但这使我们有机会对有史以来的最佳电视剧进行回味。登上我的列表榜首的是HBO(美国家庭影院频道)最不认可的经典之作。
