The original 1976 miniseries — adapting Alex Haley’s bestseller about his family’s history of enslavement in America — was not only one of the most-watched shows in television history, but one of the most important, setting an impossibly high bar for any attempt to revisit the material. But the 2016 version on History was impeccably cast , and found ways to modernize the storytelling without losing the essence of what made the book and the original TV take so powerful.
But the BBC canceled the original version in 1989, and it took 16 years for the Doctor to properly return — played in this clever modern incarnation by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, and now Jodie Whittaker — with enough of a budget increase that the episodes no longer looked like they were being filmed in someone’s basement.
Twin Peaks is on a whole other level, nothing else on this list comes close.
Lol on excluding all of the CC-written eps TXF in the revival 😛
The ending of Battlestar pissed me TF off.
