Though 3 of these are here mostly because of the TV series they directed although all 5 directed critically acclaimed TV series and began their careers there before making films. I only included directors who directed multiple works that belong to my favorites. Shimbo, for instance, who directed PMMM I did not include because I didn't love anything else he directed.
