10 Favorite Pilots of the 2010s
December 23, 2019 by Marisa Roffman
Pilots…are tough. Shows have to introduce a world, characters, and, in theory, set up where the show will go in the first season. But when they’re done correctly? Boy, they can be magic.
As the decade comes to a close, we look back at some of our favorite pilots over the past ten years…*
EMPIRE (January 7, 2015)
Part family drama, part musical powerhouse, EMPIRE was compelling from the start. Taraji P. Henson’s Cookie was iconic from the very first episode, and the series dropped a number of signature original songs in the pilot. Who didn’t want to spend more time with the Lyons after that first hour?

*We’re also doing a list of favorite episodes over the decade. As a note, one of the (self-imposed) restrictions was nothing that no show that made this list could make the other so there wouldn’t be a huge amount of double-ups. (It also served as a tie-breaker for some shows, whose pilots could have made this list, but ended up with a different episode in that one instead.)
Which pilots were your favorite this decade?
