Last 5 years I can stand to hear an argument for. Last 10 years though... that is harder to stand by a claim of.
Had all sorts of long form TV happen or peak during that which in many ways eclipsed anything normal films were doing. Many of those lost their way during the last 5 years but as a whole the last 10 years is going to be right up there in terms of best "TV from decade". That is not to say 2005 to 2010 were not spectacular though and raised the bar massively.
i know i exaggerate i bit, but i pretty much didn't watch broadcast tv for the last 10 years anymore.
switched to amazon prime video & netflix and other sources.
the only exceptions were:
- formula1, because there was a free broadcast
- nhk world, since i can receive that
and i don't mean that in the sense that the quality of tv productions is always bad.
we all know of the high quality series the last 10 years have brought us
BreakingBad or Game of Thrones, just to name 2
and i specifically say that about german tv, even if some of my accusations also work on foreign tv (which i do not receive)
at least the accusation about too much "scripted reality"
german tv sometimes treated series like FOX treated Futurama 20 years ago, (maybe it airs, maybe not).
also tv commercials for various love toys (non explicit) in the afternoon
some my complaints are more about brodcast tv in general
maybe i'm getting old
