What are your top 5 miniseries of the last ten years?

[Trumo]

Depends what you mean by mini-series. I'm taking it to mean a show with fewer than 10 episodes in total or, if spanning more than 1 series, fewer than 10 episodes per series. In that case, I'd list The Night Manager, Car Share and Boss. Need to think about it to add a couple more.

Great shout on The Last Dance. 

[Captain Turdseye]

I knew everyone would say The Night Of here. Great show, that one. Forum favourite at the time. I need to watch it again. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Never heard much fuss about it, but I really like Hatfields and McCoys. 

[polymerpunkah]

True Detective (01)

Chernobyl

The Vietnam War

Dopesick

After Life (01) (if it qualifies)

[Sugar Ape]

I’m naming more than five as all handsome young men are entitled to. 

 

Under the Banner of Heaven 

Godless

Unbelievable 

Watchmen

Defending Jacob

The Outsider

Good Omens

 

I think The Outsider is my favourite from recent years. Honourable mention to Fargo too, multiple seasons but each one is a self contained story. 
 

All time O.G. Miniseries is definitely Band of Brothers. That’ll never be beaten. 

[Bjornebye]

Nobody tries to bend the rules like TLW. 

 

 

Does Eastenders 87-89 count Tony? 

[Arniepie]

Chernobyl was fucking phenomenal 

Time

The queen's gambit 

Zero zero zero

The Outsider rep. I’d completely forgotten about it.

Zero Zero Zero was great I’d forgotten that. Escape at Dannemora was boss. Also A Very English Scandal was good.

You’ve got a thing about Susan Tully’s pitted skin, too?

I'm surprised you didn't pick Eldorado tbh Tone.

I never watched it, though I was gutted when the entire Hart family were killed off in Family Affairs, blown up on a boat.

I don't think that anything with more than one season should count.

Hahahaha 

[Jack the Sipper]

A few that come to mind...

 

The Haunting of Bly Manor

Midnight Mass

Assassination of Gianni Versace 

Unabomber

 

Do they have to be dramas? If not then Who Killed Malcolm X?

Bly Manor but not Hill House?

 

I though the former was a big let down if I'm honest.

 

I did like Flannagan's Midnight Mass though, good shout.

 

He's got another series out on Netflix soon called The Midnight Club.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

There's very few of the titles mentioned that I've seen or even heard of.
