Okay, so I have to do two separate lists, one for anime and one for non-anime. I have so many of each category that come to mind, and it's so fucking hard to judge the craziness of anime against non-animated shows. I don't happen to have any animated shows that aren't anime that would make a top ten list, so even that possible avenue of comparison won't work. So fuck it, splitting it up. Non-anime stuff first, then anime.
10. Misfits - Unlike a lot of people who make clarifications about which seasons exactly of this show they like (often only the first two or three), I like them all. Season 4 was slow to get rolling and was probably the weakest season of the show, but some of the episodes were really great and season 5 is just as good as any of the first few imo. Anyway, I like it because it's funny shit while still managing to have a real and often serious plot going on, plus actual character development which is rare for comedy shows.
9. Doctor Who - I'm only counting the 2005 and later stuff here, as I haven't bothered watching the older stuff. It can get kinda formulaic and some episodes are crap, but when it's good it's amazing. Also, Tennant > Smith > Eccleston. Haven't seen enough of Capaldi to decide where he goes.
8. House M.D. - Mainly because Hugh Laurie as House is one of my favorite TV characters ever. He's a great example of an anti-hero done well, and well done anti-heroes are sadly a rarity. Other than that it's a really well done medical drama, and I enjoy medical dramas.
7. Sherlock - Yes, the BBC one with Bendydick Cunterpunch. I'm not including it in my top 10 just to make that lame joke, I swear. If you haven't already heard tons of people raving about why this show is great I will be super surprised, so I won't bother explaining.
6. Hannibal - I thought Hannibal would be higher on my list when I first set out to make it, but apparently not. It's really great, one of the very few examples of a show with highly intelligent characters that actually portrays intellect well, rather than acting like being smart is some kind of super power. The dialogue is what really does it: it's not just that the smart people do smart things, they also talk like people with large vocabularies and a strong command of the language. It's great.
5. Luther - You know how there are tons of people who talk about how Firefly ended way too early and it needs to come back and have more? This is my version of that. It got a decent 3 seasons, but that was nowhere near enough for me. I've heard people describe it as 'Sherlock if Sherlock was black and not autistic' and that's a pretty decent explanation I think.
4. House of Cards - I was one of those people who laughed at the idea of Netflix producing original shows, but goddamn this one made me a believer. Everything about it is great, and Kevin Spacey is the centerpiece of the magnificence and he's damned good in everything he does. I enjoy political intrigue in fiction, and that's what House of Cards is all about.
3. Breaking Bad - If you don't know why Breaking Bad is amazing, I feel like you must have been living under a rock for the past 5 years at least. Tons of people are hailing it as a modern masterpiece, best show of our time, etc. Obviously I happen to disagree since I'm only ranking it as #3, but seriously, get with the times if you don't know about it.
2. The Wire - Easily the best crime drama show ever, imo, though it's one that a lot of people apparently don't know about. It's not super flashy and exciting, but the great acting and characters and the gritty realism it presents are phenomenal. It doesn't just stick to police perspective like most crime dramas: it focuses on cops, criminals, politicians, and a few other people who don't quite fit into any one of those categories, all in order to give a more balanced and human view of a crime-ridden city and the efforts being made to clean it up.
1. Game of Thrones - While it has flaws and isn't as good as the book series it's based on, I still fucking love this show to death. I fully admit that GoT taking my top show spot is largely due to my fanboy status courtesy of the books. It would probably be more like 3 or 4 if not for the book nerd fanboy bonus, but the fact that this show gets me more hyped for episodes I know are going to be relatively dull than for season finales of other shows on this list is something I can't ignore.
Jekyll - Made by the same dudes who did Sherlock. It's really good, though it's on the short side since it's only one season of six 1 hour long episodes. It's a modern take on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, just like Sherlock is a modern take on Sherlock Holmes.
Boardwalk Empire/Homeland/The Newsroom - Any of these could have maybe made one of the bottom slots of my top ten, but I'm a season behind in each of them and I felt like it'd be weird to put them in my top ten when I'm so far behind and have procrastinated for so long about catching up.
The Walking Dead - It's good and I like it, but it's not good enough to beat any of the above stuff.
Dexter - Used to be a sure pick for my top 10, and at one point in time I considered it my favorite show of all time, but is started going downhill for me in season 5 and then that last season just blew major ass and kind of ruined everything. Probably the most disappointing TV show ending I've ever witnessed. This is half an honorable mention, half a dishonorable one. I guess it's just a mention.
Okay, now for the anime list. I'll just throw this one in a hider so my post isn't huge as fuck.
10. Death Note - Death Note has become one of those sort of entry level anime where any time someone asks for recommendations, it's on the list people give of "if you haven't seen all these things, go watch them now," and that's because it's good. It would be higher on my list if it had ended at a certain point where a major thing happens around the middle of the story, because what follows isn't as good as the first ~half, but it's still good enough overall to be a solid pick for my top 10 anime.
9. Mirai Nikki - This is one of those anime that is most certainly not for everyone. The premise is that a bunch of people have their diaries on their phones (because who the fuck keeps a pen and paper diary nowadays?) start to show the future as if they had written it (the show title means Future Diary, btw), and they're pit against each other in a last man standing battle to the death. If you can't handle over the top ridiculousness, Mirai Nikki just won't work for you. I love over the top ridiculousness though, so it entertained the shit out of me. It's got huge hype moments in nearly every episode, and even the dumb characters are still amusing. The one major flaw with the show is that the original ending they gave was shit, but they fixed it by releasing an extra episode thing that gives the full ending from the manga.
8. Bakemonogatari - This one is about a guy who's part vampire (because he was turned into one and then sorta turned back human, it's hard to explain) and helps other people with their own supernatural creature problems. It's a strange anime that plays with various anime tropes (particularly those of harem type anime) by sometimes playing them straight and other times satirizing them and leaning on the fourth wall. The main reasons I like it are because of the clever dialogue and the cast of interesting characters who develop in rather natural feeling ways, but the general plot stuff and the art are pretty great too.
7. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - This is the anime on my list that I very rarely recommend to people because it's just not worth the headache of explaining to people what it really is. On the surface it looks like a magical girl anime directed at young girls, but that's not at all what it is. It's more like a psychological drama/thriller with horror elements. Some really dark shit goes down, man, and it fucks with the characters just as much as the viewers. I love it.
6. Kill la Kill - Kill la Kill is another ridiculous over the top shit anime, similar to Mirai Nikki. However, it does it way better than Mirai Nikki and has a far more compelling protagonist, plus it doesn't take itself super seriously and has a lot of humor thrown in. It's the second best anime I've watched for getting the viewer hyped up about all the insane shit going down (the best one being my #3 pick, and KLK was made by a lot of people who made that one, so it makes sense), and it does so largely through it's fucking amazing soundtrack, which is probably my favorite anime soundtrack of all time.
5. Hunter x Hunter - This was one of the hardest shows for me to place. It's the one on the list that I finished watching (or, well, got caught up with, since it's still going) most recently, and weighing fresh hype again old favorites is weird. Anyway, it's about a kid who wants to become a Hunter (special dudes who are skilled at magic-ish skills and/or fighting) so he can find his father, who was never really around because he was too busy being a Hunter himself. The main reasons why I like this show so much is because it's got some of the best character development I've ever seen in an anime, and it strikes a great balance of over the top shenanigans and serious shit going down.
4. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - This is another one of those entry level anime that is recommended far and wide because of how good it is. It's actually rather similar to Hunter x Hunter in my mind because the highlights are character development and a great mix of shenanigans and seriousness, but I give it the leg up because the actual plot is superior imo, and the fight scenes are generally more entertaining.
3. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Usually called Gurren Lagann for short. It's a mecha anime set in a world that's... not quite post-apocalyptic, maybe best described as a dismal shithole future setting. This is the anime I referenced in the Kill la Kill entry, the one that's the best I've ever seen at getting you hyped up about all the insane shit that happens, again in large part due to the soundtrack being top tier. One thing it has that KLK kinda lacks is real and meaningful character development, and as you might have noticed from my list so far I really like good character development in my anime.
2. Code Geass - Code Geass is another mecha anime, sorta. Unlike most mecha anime where they're the huge focus and they have the whole "ermagerd muh fighting spirit can make me overcome technological limitations" thing, Code Geass just uses them as tools of war in reasonable way. The real focus is on the characters and the shenanigans that go down. The protagonist is a chessmaster type dude who wants to overthrow the evil empire, but it's not really as simple as a struggle between the good guy rebel and the evil oppressors. I can't really say more because spoilers, but it had all sorts of ridiculous plot twists going down and the main character is hammy as fuck when he's pulling off his crazy plans and there's some great character development for all the major players throughout, and overall it's just wonderful.
1. Monster - This is the only anime I would have felt comfortable comparing to the non-anime shows list (and it would have ranked in at #2 there, for perspective), because it really doesn't feel like watching an anime. It's a serious drama with none of the over the top craziness you find in the other entries in this list. It's about a surgeon who goes against the orders of his superiors to save the life of a child who goes on to do horrible things such that he views the guy as a monster (thus the title), and he struggles with the dilemma of feeling like he's responsible for the monster being let loose on the world. It deals with a lot of moral questions, has some amazing character development for all of the important characters, and the ending (for those who have watched it, I mean the ending of the penultimate episode, since I see the final episode as being more of an epilogue than anything else) is a strong contender for best ending ever across all entertainment media for me.
There has been talk about an American live action adaptation getting made some time in the future, and I really hope it happens and is done well so people can get in on this great story even if they've got an aversion to anime. I'd really suggest it for anyone, even if they hate all other anime they've tried, but some people refuse to give it a chance just because it's anime so a live action adaptation would be nice so I can get more people to watch it.
Fairy Tail - Like a few items on my honorable mentions for non-anime, this one wasn't included above because I'm not actually caught up to current on it. I figure once I actually get there, assuming it retains the same level of quality throughout, it'll knock TTGL off the third place spot; if it gets even better as it goes on I would not be surprised to see it kick Code Geass down a peg too, but I dunno if it'll have what it takes to dethrone Monster.
Fullmetal Alchemist - Not as good as the Brotherhood version, imo, but still good and worth watching.
Attack on Titan - Overhyped as fuck, but good enough for a mention at least.
Yu Yu Hakusho - It's basically just a fight-centric anime like Dragonball Z and Bleach and such, but I like it significantly better than the others of its ilk. Used to be an easy pick for my anime top 10, but in the past few years I've watched a lot of great anime that whoop its ass.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? - My favorite comedy anime, and the only one I've seen that's worth mentioning.
10. Misfits - Unlike a lot of people who make clarifications about which seasons exactly of this show they like (often only the first two or three), I like them all. Season 4 was slow to get rolling and was probably the weakest season of the show, but some of the episodes were really great and season 5 is just as good as any of the first few imo.

Here's my list, again, same deal with my Movies List.
10. Archer - I love this show so much, the damn witty one liners, the comedic timing, the setting and set up of the show. It's absurd and ridiculous, but by god it's the good and best kind of absurd. Krieger is probably what makes the show that much great for me, and the Archer/Lana banter too. All in all, it's one of my favourite shows.
9. Fullmetal Alchemist - One of my favourite anime shows of all time. The drama, the action, the humour, it's all good, it's all set up nicely. What stands out for me are two things, the lore and the world it's set in, I find it very interesting and fascinating, I'd love a separate story based in that world again. secondly Roy Mustang's personal grudge match, the intensity, the emotion and the anger, it builds up to one of the greatest anime fight scenes of all time, and it's truly one of the most emotionally crazy parts of Brotherhood.
8. The Arrow - It's not secret, I like superhero based stuff, it's part of my comic nerdyness in me. I watched this show only vaguely knowing Green Arrow, and I gotta say I loved it. Aside from it being alittle on the long side, to which it feels more episodic than the others, it's damn great show. The characters are well developed, the villains are creatively done well, the action sequences are some of the best I've seen in a TV show.
7. Always Sunny in Philadelphia - This is arguably the funniest show I've seen. Just the amount of times the main cast fuck with each other and other people that are unfortunately brought into their antics? it's god damn hillarious. I pretty much marathoned this as soon as I got Netflix and I did not regret it once. If there waas ever a comedy show I'd highly recommend? this would be it.
6. Scrubs - Scrubs is multiple parts that are seemingly well worked into each other without it seeming too out of place. it's one part comedy, one part drama, and many parts an emotional ride. The character development, travels throughout, and characters are treated very humanly, having their individual flaws and strengths, and the comedy plays superbly into that aspect. But the drama and the emotional ride is where it really shines for me. It's never overly done, and being a sitcom set in a hospital they can really address the theme of death without it feeling too shoehorned in there. Plus it gave two of the best TV and funniest characters their chance to shine....okay three, Dr Kelso, Dr Cox and The Janitor.
5. This is England '86 - The sequel TV show of This is England. This is a rather interesting pick for me, and something I wasn't going to choose due to the fact it's more of a miniseries. But damn, it's fantastic, the emotional weight behind this series was marvelous and very hard hitting. Basically following from the movie, it shows us what most of Woody's gang is up to now. Again, like This is England, you will laugh and you will be stunned. it's a damn good show.
4. Misfitsb - I got into this show a little later than most, but my god it's so damn good. It has an interesting set up and some of the best characters in a british show, especially compared to the shit we hav thrown out. It's hilarious with some serious moments and some surprisingly emotional rides too, the development of characters is superb. There's a lot to like about this show, and it offers some of the funniest super powers you will see.
3. Avatar: The Last Airbender - This show is why I love animated series. it brings together a rich, beautiful lore based upon many eastern myths and legends with martial arts and magic, blends them together into one superbly made brew of epicness. Character development is nigh on perfect aside from a few character breaking moments, and the pacing was just top notch. it's easily my favourite animated show of all time, definitely and I can rank it up high on this list too. I love Martial Arts anything and eastern Folklore/Mythology.
2. House of Cards/Breaking Bad -I couldn't choose between these two awesome shows so I lumped them together. What's been said about has already been touched up by Jorick xD. It's easilly one of my all time faves, and damn god Kevin Spacey plays Frank Underwood so god damn good. Again, there's many things I love about Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston slowly turning into a Villain was one of the best transformations I've seen on a TV show.
1. Game of Thrones - Another series I was late on the party, but by god damn holy shit fuck! it's easily topped all of my faves so far. The political intrigue, the characters, the world itself, to me it's perfect. I absolutely love this show and I eagerly await each new season with a child like wonder, waiting to see what happens next. It's 9.8/10 an A++++, a 5/5 in my books.
Honorable Mentions: Legend of Korra, Luther, Sherlock, Babylon 5, Dexter, Heroes, From Dusk Till Dawn, Twin Peaks, Hannibal, The Walking Dead, Futurama, South Park, Fairy Tail, 8 out of 10 Cats, Nevermind The Buzzcocks, QI, Defiance, Adventure Time, Bojack Horseman, The Thick of it, Farscape, Fargo.
The list is bound to change once I've completed some of the shows and started a few of the new ones that are coming out.
