The 2010's a look back.

Well then with the final few hours of 2019 and with them the decade going away, I thought I'd reflect on the 2010's. What were the best things and worst things of the last ten years?

The best TV shows

- Hands down the biggest surprise of the 2010's for me was discovering the Nickelodeon version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That series was just awesome.

- I could say the same thing about "Avatar, legend of Korra" it filled some VERY big shoes but it filled them well.

- Let's not forget Dragon Ball Super, it was kinda hit or miss with that one but it was way better than Dragon Ball GT by several huge miles.

- The Chris Harris, Matt LeBlanc and Rory Reid hosted line up of Top Gear was a very pleasant surprise, I recently learned that James May was very positive about what they did and how they did it.

The worst movies and TV Shows.
- The 2014 Michael Bay Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, what a pile of garbage they were.
- MTV's entire roster, more of the same dross about Teenage pregnancies, catfishing and ballooned up bodies living together and raising hell at Jersey shore and Geordy shore.

The Worst music.
- Every hit single which was a cover of an eighties classic. But left out what made the original song interesting music-wise. Chris Cab's cover of Sting's "Englishman in New York" is the best example of that: He removed all the verses apart from the first one, cut out the middle part where the melody changes and basically dumbed down the track by repeating the chorus over and over.

The best music

- Hands down the best album of the 2010's was the eponymous debut by Pinnick Gales Pridgen. dUg Pinnick and Eric Gales just kicked so much ass on that album.

- The Foo Fighters were in a very good place in the 2010's "Wasting light", "Sonic Highways", "St. Cecilia" and "Concrete and gold" all of them were stellar albums.

The "Oh no, I can't believe that happened." moments.
Politics-wise
- The election of Trump. (We honestly thought people in the USA knew better...)
- The Brexit (One ought to think that when David Cameron, when presented with what could happen if he pushed forward with the referendum about leaving the EU. He had done the sensible thing and not presented the referendum in the first place. But NO, dropping the referendum meant losing face and that simply couldn't be.)
Personal life wise
- Losing my dad.
- Having that accident which destroyed my shoulder and the ridiculous yo yo-ing, from one doctor to another before I had been given the correct diagnoses that followed. I'm still not myself.
Music wise
- David Bowie, Prince and Tom Petty dying was quite a bummer.

That's all I can think of at the moment.
