15 TV Shows That Are The Current Best Of Every Genre

15. Miniseries: Watchmen

Miniseries is a broad subject to start with. There are a lot of shows limited to one singular season being released these days and they are usually of a very high quality. Netflix has had some notable inclusions such as When They See Us and The Queen's Gambit but HBO is undisputedly the king of the miniseries.

Chernobyl could easily have taken this spot but instead we'll go with the more recent and ambitious Watchmen, the part adaptation, part continuation of Alan Moore's masterwork. Created by Damon Lindelof, one of the most creative minds working in television today, Watchmen brings Moore's work into the modern day with more current societal issues to tackle and brand new and layered characters to take the reins.

Yes, Ozymandias and Laurie are prominent and fantastic, but this show belongs to the new blood such as Looking Glass, Will, and most importantly Angela Abar played by an always exceptional Regina King.

Watchmen masterfully weaves flawless character development, smart social commentary and respect for the source material to create nine brilliantly contained episodes that make it the must see miniseries available right now.
