Top 100 Shows of 21st Century List: 'Breaking Bad', 'Game of Thrones', 'Money Heist' make the list

One of the most-awaited lists every year is the annual poll by BBC Culture which is conducted by film critics and industry experts from around the globe who pick the best titles in a particular category.

There are a lot of obvious names in the list which include the likes of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Money Heist (La Casa De Papel), Stranger Things and others but there are also a few surprises (pleasant ones) like I May Destroy You, The Leftovers, Atlanta and others also making the list. Personally, The Wire topping couldn't be more apt but there are a lot of other choices (of spots) I don't agree with.
