And it doesn't matter which category. Tastes just differ and that's also the case with electing the best series of 2018; there will always be some people who don't agree with who wins and/or gets nominated.
What is one person's loss is another person's gain, because Game of Thrones is not a contender this year. Series like La Casa de Papel, Line of Duty and Peaky Blinders we will probably see again next year on this list. This year it was quite difficult, but you probably hear that every year.
So I won't waste too many more words on this, so see below for the alphabetical list of series of which the writers and you as viewers thought should belong in the top ten. This year we also asked MySeries members to nominate series. These nominations have also been considered for the final list. If you are not happy with this list, there is always the opportunity to make use of the wild card. So it will be your choice who wins.
The Americans
The final season of The Americans premiered on FX on 28 March 2018. The viewer could finally see how things would end for the Russian spies who impersonated Americans for years. Here you can read the reviews which have been written about this series.
