The New York Times' list of the best TV shows from movie directors includes David Lynch's Twin Peaks, Jane Campion's Top of the Lake, Steven Soderbergh's The Knick and The Girlfriend Experience, the Wachowskis' Sense8, Ava DuVernay's Queen Sugar, Alex Garland’s Devs, Nicolas Winding Refn's Too Old to Die Young, Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It and Paolo Sorrentino's The Young Pope and The New Pope. "The examples ... are all distinctly the work of film directors who have made television conform to them, not the other way around," says Scott Tobias.
