Tell Us The TV Shows That Started 10/10 And Ended 10/10
It's soooooo disappointing when a TV show starts super strong, only to decrease in quality season after season.
It makes some sense; I mean, how are writers supposed to maintain momentum, develop characters, brainstorm new plot points, and continue to reflect our ever-changing world after 2,000 seasons, anyway?
That's why it's really exciting when a show starts 10/10 and ends 10/10. And so it's not surprising that when Reddit user u/tracystraussI asked the Reddit community, "Which show started 10/10 and ended 10/10?", it received over 10,000(!) responses.
And now we want to hear from you about which shows you feel fall into that category! So, if you have a show that you felt delivered from start to finish, let us know in the comments or by filling out this anonymous Google Form.
" Chernobyl. The beauty of a mini-series. A well-defined plot outline and story with a beginning and an end don't continue just because it can and has all the writers, cast, and fans in place. It ends when it should and doesn't rewrite itself to go on endlessly and needlessly."
" Band of Brothers. I have sobbed uncontrollably every time I watch the last episode. That scene where they're playing baseball and Winters narrates what they all got up to after the war — that is so bittersweet."
" Mindhunter (though then it just...ended). I don't know how that show failed to continue. It was so good."
" Avatar: The Last Airbender. The entire show is essentially a buildup to the final showdown between Aang and Ozai, so I was expecting it to be predictable and anticlimactic, but it was neither. Ostensibly a kid's show but it is so much better than almost every adult show, as well."
" Derry Girls. I'm from Northern Ireland, and the ending hit me with a flood of nostalgia."
" The Good Place. That show has fundamentally changed how I look at my life and treat others. It's just so, so good."
And " Breaking Bad. Started 10/10, ended 20/10."

We want the best: Our demands for the forthcoming Kiss movie starring Nick Jonas
Earlier this week, we learned that Kiss, initially dubbed "the hottest band in the land" before they upgraded to "the hottest band in the world," will soon share their story on the silver screen. Shout It Out Loud, named after a particularly catchy song on their third album, is due to start production at the end of this year or early 2026. The film will be directed by McG, the Charlie's Angels auteur whose last five movies have been Netflix releases including Rim of the World and Family Switch. Nick Jonas is currently in negotiations to play Paul Stanley, Kiss' lead singer (but second banana to bassist Gene Simmons, whose casting remains a mystery, as spokesman for the group). We're going to be optimists and say we eagerly await the finished product. For those raising eyebrows at Jonas' casting (and the Kiss Reddit page is a good source for that sentiment), one must recognize that while Kiss is considered a hard rock group — what with their demonic face paint, leather-and-spiked costumes, lusty tongue wiggling, blood spitting, and onstage fireballs — a lot of their music is just as poppy as the Jonas Brothers' material. That may sound like sacrilege, but when you break down what makes a song like "I Was Made for Lovin' You" work, you'll see it's not that different from "Play My Music." Much like the Bob Dylan film A Complete Unknown, this upcoming project is reportedly about the early days of the group, watching Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley transform from two Jewish kids in Queens (Chaim Witz and Stanley Eisen) into "The Demon" and "Starchild." We'll likely see how the pair, with guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss, created their flamboyant, theatrical style, which, mixed with simple chords and prurient lyrics, eventually led to 14 platinum albums and 75 million records sold worldwide. A Kiss movie has the potential to be a lot of fun, which is why we're going to assume that McG and the roughly 700 listed producers on this project are eager for some notes. Especially since there already was a movie, Spinning Gold, that detailed Kiss' pre-superstar years, which was pretty lousy. (It was more about record executive Neil Bogart, but Kiss is a big part of his story.) To that end, here's what needs to be in a Kiss movie. Several behind-the-scenes sequences detailing the production of Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park, the 1978 television film starring Kiss. For those who haven't seen it, Kiss play themselves facing down an evil inventor who keeps his secret lair in an amusement park. It's kind of a mix of The Phantom of the Opera and Westworld, and features a lot of sunny California girls and roller coasters. We would also like a songwriting scene rivaling the Mozart-Salieri conclusion of Amadeus, but with Simmons and Stanley composing the lyric "You pull the trigger of my love gun." We also insist that they include the moment (which many believe to be an urban myth) where the members of Kiss dripped some of their blood into the vats of red ink used to create a Marvel Kiss comic book. A notary was witness to it, to ensure that this really happened, and that fans who purchased a copy would know they had real Kiss DNA in their homes. (Imagine reading this comic after cleansing yourself with some Sydney Sweeney bathwater soap!) Another highlight would be one of Simmons' first television appearances, on The Mike Douglas Show, where comedian Totie Fields saw right through his Dracula act and the two started making Jewish jokes. We'd also like to see the notoriously pugnacious Simmons accepting the fact that the band's biggest hit was the syrupy ballad "Beth," sung and co-written by Criss. (And that many people believe that the best song in the entire Kiss oeuvre is Frehley's cover of "New York Groove," which Simmons had nothing to do with.) There should also be a montage of Jonas belting out some of Stanley's signature screeching stage banter. (Do not click this unless you have an hour to kill and are in a location where you feel comfortable roaring with laughter.) Similarly, please give us more details about The Elder, the never-produced fantasy film that gave us the uncharacteristic album Music From the Elder, Kiss' attempt to create something similar to Pink Floyd's The Wall. The film must also show Simmons and Stanley's true métier. Recording albums is one thing, but finalizing merchandising deals is where Kiss truly shined. From shirts and posters and lunchboxes and figurines to the most final of purchases, the Kiss Kasket. To that end, we should also see how Kiss will live forever, as the members of the group have uploaded their likenesses (and maybe their consciousness?) into digital avatars.

21 Nostalgic Sounds Younger Generations Will Never Hear
Recently, Reddit user u/Repulsive-Pitch2555 asked an extremely nostalgic question, "People over 30: What's a sound from your childhood that younger generations will never hear?"

New cars try to imitate it, but they don't quite hit the spot. And then the way old windshield wiper motors sounded — they were so loud that they drowned out the noise of the rain."—Me66 "Disney movie trailers voiced by Mark Elliott. If you don't know his name, you've definitely heard his voice in Disney trailers from the '90s and 2000s.

Naive American tourist hilariously falls for ‘genius' London restaurant prank: ‘Talk about a mis-steak'
This American tourist got served — in more ways than one. Liam Nelson, a New York comedian in London for a gig, thought he'd sniffed out a hidden culinary standout when he stumbled across glowing online reviews for Angus Steakhouse in Leicester Square. But what did he actually find? A side of steak with a supersized helping of British sarcasm. 'I went on Reddit, every single response was Angus Steakhouse in Leicester Square,' Nelson said in a June 1 TikTok video, captioned 'Talk about a mis-steak…,' which quickly racked up over 127,000 views. 'I thought maybe this is a little hole-in-the-wall area next to all these shops, like a secret hidden gem.' Turns out, he was the latest victim of a long-running British prank — London Redditors have been 'love bombing' tourist-trap chains like Angus with five-star reviews to keep real foodies away from the city's actual best eateries, as reported by The Daily Mail. 'I found an article about how London Reddit has tried to send tourists to Angus Steakhouse to preserve the good steakhouses for themselves — genius,' he said in his nearly six-minute clip. 'I have never seen Reddit all agree on a restaurant before,' Nelson added. 'And they all had these glowing reviews … Some voice in the back of my head was saying 'this is wrong, this is not normal' and I ignored it.' Not exactly a red flag he picked up on — until it was too late. The joint, he soon discovered, was actually 'loud,' 'chaotic' and came with a 'giant neon sign.' A New York funnyman thought he found a sizzling hidden gem in London — until a juicy twist at Angus Steakhouse left a bad taste. WD Stock Photos – Then came the gray slab of steak. 'It was bad. I tried the creamed spinach — worse than frozen somehow. London Reddit, that is one for you, zero for me.' Fellow TikTokkers had a field day with the viral video. 'As a London Redditor who actively takes part in this joke; I'm not sorry,' one user gloated beneath Nelson's clip. Another added, 'Hahaha I'm glad it actually got someone,' while someone else summed it up with, 'WE GOT ONE.' Others offered redemption suggestions in the comments section: 'Go Flat Iron, it's in Covent Garden, affordable decent steak,' and 'Next time you're in London, get a steak at the Guinea Grill Pub in Mayfair! Incredible steakhouse.' Turns out, Nelson got played — locals have been flooding tourist-trap chains like Angus with five-star reviews in a cheeky bid to steer foodies far from the real gems. Tiktok/liamnelsoncomedy The whole beefy debacle comes amid rising tension between real reviews and fake raves — a trend The Post has covered before. Earlier this year, a Florida restaurant tried — and failed — to sue a customer over a one-star review. Irene Eng, a prolific Yelp and TripAdvisor reviewer, was slapped with a defamation lawsuit by Hales Blackbrick, a Chinese eatery in Tampa, after calling its spare ribs 'dry' and its coffee 'lukewarm — a Cardinal sin!!' The suit was tossed in February, with the judge siding with Eng's First Amendment rights. 'I'm 1,000% for freedom of speech — you can say whatever you want,' chef Richard Hales later told the Tampa Bay Times. 'We're not thin-skinned, we're just humans.' Still, the great steak debate rages on. And for now, Nelson's just hoping his next meal won't be medium-rare — or medium-roasted by the internet.
