From "Game of Thrones", " Breaking Bad", "Crazy Rich Asians", "Kimi no Na wa" to even "The Artist", this supplemental gives our thoughts on the many many films and television shows of the 2010s. While we tried to stay away from Sequels, Comic Book adaptations and Reboots; there were some exceptions.
