20 Best Movies/Games/Shows of the Decade

This will likely be my final blog post. I've enjoyed writing for years, but as time goes on my time dwindles. I have less time to consume the media I love and even less to write about it. I will always continue to love this type of entertainment, but it's time to move on to the next part of my life. While I can't promise I will never write again, because I would like to return one day, for now this is goodbye. Thank you to all those who had given me support and read my dumb opinions. Thanks for the memories, it's been fun.

Note: There were hundreds of truly exceptional films/games/shows released this decade, art that will withstand the test of time and have garnered respect from critics and audiences. Some I've experienced, some I haven't. For this list, I decided to exclude any honorable mentions, and write exclusively about what I thought were the 20 best of the 2010s. The following are listed in alphabetical order. For shows, I've limited to series that premiered this decade, so shows like Breaking Bad will be excluded.
