For over a decade, The Spinoff has been passionate about devouring and dissecting all kinds of local television. Now, they are funnelling all that knowledge and expertise into their most ambitious pop culture project yet: a definitive list of the Top 100 New Zealand television shows of the 21st century.
They have brought together a panel of seasoned critics, and The Spinoff's in-house couch potatoes to hotly debate a list of the most significant local TV shows to grace our screens over the last quarter century.
Beginning this week they are counting down from the 100 top TV shows, profiling 20 each day until they hit number one on Friday, October 25, and publish the full list of 100 on Saturday, October 26! See the progress made.
Additionally, they are hosting an event at Q Theatre, Auckland on Thursday, October 31, where Alex Casey will be joined by Kura Forrester, Rhiannon McCall and other Spinoff writers to celebrate the shows that were disqualified, forgotten or just too weird to make the list.
