The Hollywood Reporter a demandé à près de 3 000 professionnels de l'industrie de l'entertainment hollywoodien quelles étaient leurs séries préférées. Leur top 100 est surprenant.
Le sondage de THR était anonyme mais certains interrogés ont révélé leur préférence. Ainsi Damon Lindelof, co-créateur de "Lost" (15e du top 100) garde un souvenir ému de "Twin Peaks" qui a "littéralement changé la manière de fonctionner de son cerveau".
Le Prince de Bel-Air (54e place), Dexter (37e place), Homeland (45e), Walking Dead (24e)...L'ordre d'arrivée peut parfois surprendre le public français. Le top 100 des séries préférées de ceux qui les fabriquent (NB : les titres sont en version originale) :
