In alphabetical order, I will state the (arguable) 10 best TV shows of 2015 just because I feel like it. (Disclaimer: I didn't finish the new season of Transparent or The Americans which are the only two shows that I didn't watch that I think could have potentially affected the list)

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
After 20 days of my (first) blog series, it's over. But, the Emmy season is not as the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards air tonight! For those who don't feel like clicking on twenty blogs, here are the full nominations and winners list. For those who did feel like clicking on twenty blogs and followed my blog series, there were a few categories that didn't make the blog series that are present in the full winners list. :)
