I'm not sure I've watched enough of these series to participate, but Dwight vs Janet is fucked up.

[Bing]

Oh god Baby Yoda huh.

[Nathan Fieldcяab]

Lol all the goodwill they generated from me by having Selina Meyer as a 3 seed was wiped out by Baby Yoda as a 4 seed

[Dale Cooper]

That was yesterday. Here's today's round of 32:

I'd take both over 75% of the other people though

[Delicious Meatball Sub]

Considering this is the Ringer, Omar has to be the clear favorite.

I'm just stealing it from the ringer to see how inforoo votes.

[MrPricklePants]

No Prince Zuko? No John Locke? THREE Friday Night Lights characters and Baby Yoda? Not into it.

BOSSES:
16 Rick Sanchez (never seen Sopranos)

9 Liz Lemon (wasn't into 24)

5 Don Draper (all day)

4 Leslie Knope (justified's cool but easy choice)

6 Coach Eric Taylor (clear eyes, full heart, can't lose)

14 Queen Elizabeth (Veep is more sum of it's parts)

10 Vic Mackey (never watched either of these shows but I'll take Chiklis)

2 Walter White (easy, but never seen scandal)

MILLENIALS:

1 Villanelle (amazing)

9 Nathan Fielder (i like girls, but not my favorite character) 

5 Arya Stark (i had to google seth cohen, which is the only reason im giving the edge to arya who at peak was better, but i liked the OC, surprising as that may be)

13 Ilana Wexler (yoda was a prop)

11 Bojack Horseman (idk who kendall roy, easy bojack) 

3 Jesse Pinkman (same, easy call)

7 Tim Riggins (texas forever)

2 Fleabag (this is the hardest one so far. cartman is a really great character, but longevity/tilting to hard into cliches puts it behind what is probably one of the best characters in this, at this point my overall #2 behind Don)

SCENE STEALERS:

1 Tyrion Lannister (i like baranski, but easy)

8 Darius Epps (great character, wasn't super into curb and haven't seen it inawhile)

5 Dwight Schrute (ended up doing this one last, similar to cartman/fleabag, dwight has better peaks, but janet is a little more Dean Pelton than Fleabag)

I already used my wild-card on Chiklis, i'll abstain here, havent seen either

6 George Oscar (nice family head to head first round matchup)

3 Ron Swanson (haven't seen BCS, Ron's fine, not my fave parks character)

7 Cersei Lannister (tough to go against Mrs T, but Cersei was great TV)

2 Peggy Olson (God damn. Peggy for being a juggernaught > Pelton being one of the GOATs at popping into a scene ala Kramer)

WILD CARDS

1 Michael Scott (idk who the 16 is, but Michael Scott should go far)

8 Charlie Kelly (nightman alone)

12 Dougie Jones (woo hoo hoo, wasn't expecting this, i like)

4 Rust Cohle (never seen BSG despite @pablos best attempts)

6 Kenny Powers (shouldve been Meredith, but either way, fucking out)

14 Nora Durst (I would take a shot to the chest while wearing armor for Carrie Coons)

10 Pete Campbell (Dunst was good, but i'll take Pete who was very good at making me hate him)

15 Desmond Hume (I'm gonna get flamed for this probably)

[Dad Dog]

definitely some weird choices by the ringer, bunch of stuff seems missing, others kind of not sure why they're in. i thought that there wouldn't be anyone from the wire and then it was just at the end.

goat show. watching it at 14 changed my worldview forever

Much like most of the internet, The Ringer has no idea how seeding for things should actually work

Also like most of the internet, The Ringer's readers have pretty shitty taste in television shows

We can certainly do that. Let's get through this and then we can do our own.

I read The Ringer and my taste in television is exquisite.
