As part of The A.V. Club’s continuing retrospective on the best, most significant pop culture of the decade, today we’re premiering I Remember The ’10s, a five-part video series where The A.V. Club staff (and a few special guests) reflect on the stand-out pop culture from the 2010s.
Yesterday, we ran down our list of the best television shows of the decade, which reflected the deluge of great television shows to air in the 2010s—not to mention the overabundance of streaming options on which to watch them. You’ll encounter some of those shows in this first installment of I Remember The ’10s, alongside our memories of major TV shockers like the end of Lost, the truth about How I Met Your Mother, and the 2010s’ most devastating wedding-related occurrence that didn’t involve How I Met Your Mother.

One show that wasn’t on the list and I didn’t see mentioned in the comments that I thing deserves mention is The Colbert Report, which aired just over half its run this decade.
One of my favourite discoveries of the decade was the superb and jet-black Camping by Julia Davis. I know that the American remake sucked all kinds of ass but the British original was a treat that could stand proudly beside things like Fleabag and Catastrophe.
Does Santa Clarita Diet count? I was very fond of Mr. Ball Legs
that was another good one missing from the list.
When I think of the 2010s, I think of pivoting to video.
Auto playing video too!
I see what you did there.
well, i kind of have to join you…b/c of the fucking autoplay!
In the 2010’s Hannibal was a standout example of creatively adapting novels to a TV series. Even if it wasn’t a fit for NBC and they didn’t have the rights to all four novels, they made it work for three seasons. The result is mesmerizingly beautiful.
Somehow BBC did the opposite with Sherlock. Despite having much more source material to work with and far fewer episodes, after a solid start they failed to adapt the stories in any meaningful way and it all went to shit pretty fast.
