"In order to be eligible for voting, a series had to debut or air the majority of its episodes between January 1, 2010 and October 8, 2019 (no real significance to the date, other than that was when the call for ballots went out). The voting body, which was made up of A.V. Club staffers and contributors, cast a wide net—we considered nonscripted and scripted shows, as well as TV movies and comedy specials. Anthology series were based on the merits of their complete runs (to date), while revivals and reboots like Twin Peaks: The Return and One Day At A Time were judged only on the episodes that aired this past decade. When the dust had settled, we had our list of the 100 best TV shows of the 2010s, which are posted below for the perusal of TV fans everywhere, including the second-screeners, the cord-cutters, and those increasingly rare beings, the live watchers."
