DarkSideOfLucca
06.29.22 | Twin Peaks rules, but I didn't connect with a lot of it tbh. When I do, I really connect, but with Lynch in general he's super hit or miss.
Half the time it is just TOO out there to where I don't even know what the fuck I am watching, which can get tedious after long stretches of that |
Trebor.
06.29.22 | Barry is so goddamn good |
Emim
06.29.22 | Ever watched Justified? |
MarsKid
06.29.22 | [2] for Justified, amazing show. |
DoofDoof
06.29.22 | Justified is in my top 10 yeah
https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Doofy/tv-drama-series-ranked/ |
MarsKid
06.29.22 | That show only getting two major awards is criminal. |
Cimnele
06.29.22 | is it weird to love those first three seasons of 24? i guess I just remember how stressful it was but the stress is iconic
lol
my faves are X Files and Red Dwarf and Star Trek DS9 |
CygnusX1
06.29.22 | The Leftovers, Band of Brothers, Westworld season 1 (2 is good) |
Egarran
06.29.22 | In a better world, GoT would be on these lists |
DoofDoof
06.29.22 | GoT is still at number one on my official list Eg, for the quality of the first four/five seasons if nothing else
1. GoT
2. Deadwood
3. The Wire
4. The Sopranos
5. Twin Peaks
6. Six Feet Under
7. Justified
8. Billions
9. Better Call Saul
10. Breaking Bad
11. Succession
12. Dark
That’s just a drama show ranking. My overall favourite show I’d still say is Red Dwarf for the nostalgia and rewatch factor |
BigPleb
06.29.22 | List needs more Twin Peaks. |
JeetJeet
06.29.22 | If you think Daredevil has the best action in a tv show, wait til you see Banshee. God tier fights every episode. And the homie playing Homelander is the lead. |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.29.22 | "In a better world, GoT would be on these lists"
Tbh GoT was in my top 5 shows of all time while it was airing, but it just depresses me soooooooooo deeply when I think about that show now, that I can't even have that shit on my top 20. It's such a shame, because a fucking 6 year old could have landed that last season (or those last two seasons imo) with how perfectly everything was set up, but they dropped the ball with like 40 different storylines, it was unfuckingbelievable.
And I actually always wanted to watch Justified, Vikings, Mr Robot and a few other shows but I just never got around to them! I'm a huge Walton Goggins and Timothy Olymphant fan as well, so I know I would love it. |
Emim
06.29.22 | Great time to get into Justified as a new series is in production. No real timeline for when it's coming out though.
I still need to watch Barry and Banshee |
el_newg
06.30.22 | Simpsons and Community would be in my list |
DominionMM1
06.30.22 | mad men homie
also the simpsons |
mindleviticus
06.30.22 | 1. Trailer Park Boys
2. Breaking Bad
3. Futurama
4. Daria
5. The Wire
6. too many others I'm too lazy to put in rn, scrubs, south park, drawn together, the simpsons, curb your enthusiasm, seinfeld and it's always sunny are somewhere in there |
HooperD87
06.30.22 | Props for number 1. Love that show. It's probably number 3 on my list. You should really try the Australian show Mr Inbetween. Similar premise to Barry but way better IMO. |
Hyperion1001
06.30.22 | Star Trek tng is the only good tv show ever made |
Rowan5215
06.30.22 | Barry is the best show airing rn. insanely good |
Deez
06.30.22 | Sopranos is my fave show ever. It just gives me this feeling everytime im on the next go around that nothing else does. Dont know how to explain it, and so many parts that you forget despite so many watched. I think, 9th rewatch at the mo. I flew to the states for the first ever Sopranos convention, skipped security and hung back stage with them. Surreal as fk.
The wire an EXTREMELY close second, Breaking bad obviously. Mr Robot too I think is phenomenal, It was never a fave even though I enjoyed it but with how amazing the last season finished and tied it all so beatifully it became a top 5 for me no doubt. Thats the different with GOT right there. First 4/5 Seasons are up there with anything but fuck me it just moves further and futher away from what made it great, s8 an absolute shitshow ofcourse.
Really love Hannibal too and about to rewatch Boardwalk empire which was amazing first time around and gonna see how it holds up. |
protokute
06.30.22 | Lost was a massive game changer for me in my life, I was obsessed with it when I was a teenager, having watched the first 3 seasons at least 4 times, and my love for the series still holds with subsequent rewatches when a bit older. It has its share of plot holes, but its sense of mystery, suspense still captivates me a lot, and it definitely had an influence on me growing up, and getting to know about life, most characters are also very well-developed, and love a lot of them, and the story... that's what you make of it.
Classic Twin Peaks was also pretty huge for me too, obv |
protokute
06.30.22 | Other TV Shows that I really liked apart from the ones already cited here are, Freaks and Geeks and My Once Called Life which have an adorable sincerity and warmth, that you can't find in a lot of more "serious" dramas out there. Rectify was also an amazing experience.
Still need to watch The Wire someday, Justified and Six Feet Under also looks very interesting |
budgie
06.30.22 | as far as horror tv shows go, i liked the first two seasons of scream a lot despite the shitty mask. season 2 of slasher was good. season 1 of scream queens is top tier television. ash v evil dead ruled yeah. black summer s1 is great, dead set is great, creepshow s2 and s3 are pretty good, etc etc...
but the best tv series of all time is HBO ROME |
SIMBOLIC
06.30.22 | Sopranos was awesome but I honestly don’t give a shit about his fuckn kids or family I just want mob stuff. Stopped watching halfway through season 1. |
protokute
06.30.22 | Absolutely loved the first two seasons of The Handmaid's Tale back in 2018, but I've heard it got a fair bit weaker in the third season, and I decided to stop watching in fear of tainting how I felt about it, do you guys think it's worth picking up someday? |
protokute
06.30.22 | lol the family stuff was the best thing for me |
Deez
06.30.22 | Yeah thats the whole show balancing a family with the Mob.
Fuck S1 is actually the worst too now in hindsight as its so old. Its still cool but doesnt really come into its own until towards the end of the second |
SIMBOLIC
06.30.22 | Yeah don’t get me wrong, amazingly well written and acted. I just personally don’t like family dramas and that’s half the show ( as protokute said). No hard feelings, just not for me. Clearly objectively good though. |
Deez
06.30.22 | Yeah, yeah I get that. |
SIMBOLIC
06.30.22 | Budgie is also based with Rome reference
But romes edgy cousin Spartacus takes it for me |
fogza
06.30.22 | Twin Peaks the Return has to be the high point of television. Shout-out to orphan black despite a not so great final season. |
fogza
06.30.22 | Also for flat out brilliant but trash tv, gotta love banshee |
SIMBOLIC
06.30.22 | Banshee is one of those super rare shows where you legit have no idea what could happen. You just don’t know where it’s gonna escalate to next |
budgie
06.30.22 | i remember first season of spartacus was good popcorn media but it didnt really tackle "historical authenticity" in the same way HBO ROME did and was pretty much a fantasy show |
Colton
06.30.22 | currently on season 5 episode 2 of Better Call Saul. this season is really good so far |
SIMBOLIC
06.30.22 | Yeah pretty much but I’ll be damned if the last season isn’t the best shit I’ve ever seen |
zakalwe
06.30.22 | Game of Thrones
Quantum Leap
Phoenix Nights
Red Dwarf
Lost
Knowing Me Knowing You
The Royale Family
Stranger Things
Black Mirror
Common as Muck
The Office
|
Kingdok
06.30.22 | Damn good list. Ash vs Evil Dead needs more love (and viewers), and totalky agree about the Shield's climax, essential telly. |
Egarran
06.30.22 | No Blackadder, zak? |
zakalwe
06.30.22 | Oh and Blackadder obviously!!!
I still don’t think the ending to Blackadder Goes Forth has been bettered. |
Shemson
06.30.22 | Oof blackadder goes fourth had the feels man, beautifully done
People need to give Dark some love if they can deal with German speaking (subtitles better but dubs also available) - absolutely mind blowing show and the music on it is exceptional.
Great theme and also uses Agnes Obel at least twice for montages which is perfect |
JeetJeet
06.30.22 | Dark might be the best show Netflix has ever had. |
onionbubs
06.30.22 | shoutout barry so high that show is so goddamn good. good list. sopranos def my number 1 |
JeetJeet
06.30.22 | Barry season 3 is a top 3 show of 2022. Absolutely great in every aspect. |
JeetJeet
06.30.22 | "Banshee is one of those super rare shows where you legit have no idea what could happen. You just don’t know where it’s gonna escalate to next"
Yup. And on top of that it has the most raw fight scenes to ever be put on camera. Every time someone dukes it out it ends up being brutal as fuck. It might not be the best show of all time, but it is the most badass show to ever be on TV. |
Wildcardbitchesss
06.30.22 | The Leftovers>>>>>>>
Nothing even comes close for me. |
Wildcardbitchesss
06.30.22 | And yeah Jeet, I loved the first two seasons of Barry but season 3 was fucking insane. If they can end it well it’ll definitely be in discussion as one of the goats |
Colton
06.30.22 | Six Feet Under is also a great show. but the best show I've ever seen is still Justified |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.30.22 | Colton do you dress like a foster child because your parents don’t love you or because you make minimum wage washing dishes at an old folks home and why is the answer both |
Wildcardbitchesss
06.30.22 | yeah get his ass |
HooperD87
06.30.22 | Has anyone here seen Me Inbetween? I needs more love dammit! |
Deez
07.01.22 | P.S
Obviously 1st season of True Detective |
DominionMM1
07.01.22 | fr |
SIMBOLIC
07.01.22 | 1st season of true detective is the best tv ever hard |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.01.22 | ending kinda sucked but its up there.
idk as far as anthology types go I think Fargo Season 2 is my favorite. |
JeetJeet
07.01.22 | True Detective season 1 is so good. Depressing how they never got that close to quality again tho. I'm curious to see how season 4 plays out. |
DominionMM1
07.01.22 | if it’s as good as season 3 I’ll be happy. Jodie foster is an interesting choice. |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.01.22 | still havent gotten around to it after hearing how bad season 2 is. maybe I'll just skip season 2 but i hate doing that. |
DominionMM1
07.01.22 | i mean there’s no connection between seasons 2 and 3 and 2 was…i’ll be kind and say it was a disappointment. 3 was pretty damn good. not s1 level but still enjoyable. stephen dorff is fantastic. mahershala ali is good too. |
SIMBOLIC
07.01.22 | I don’t wanna watch the other seasons. I’m content to think of it as a limited series and leave it at that 👍 |
JeetJeet
07.01.22 | Just watch Fargo. Its better than True Detective and season 2 of it is just as good as TD s1. |
SIMBOLIC
07.01.22 | !!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge if true |
Trebor.
07.01.22 | I just finished Boardwalk Empire and it's interesting to me how I never see it on anyone's favorite TV show lists even though it's high profile
It's pretty good but no one loves it |
Shemson
07.01.22 | Boardwalk was really good but never hit the really high heights
I don’t think it helped that Buscemi always makes me think of The Sopranos and MKW makes me think of The Wire and Stephen Graham makes me think of Snatch/Lock Stock and those are all god tier shows/movies
I think of Boardwalk fondly but it’s not like how I think of Breaking Bad (Ozymandius, season 4 finale etc.) Game of Thrones (red wedding, Mountain vs Viper etc.) it was just really solid. |
SIMBOLIC
07.01.22 | Dude after this season, the boys has just zerg rushed into my top ten. Maybe even top five |
Shemson
07.01.22 | Good to hear, I’m waiting for all the episodes to come out so I can binge new Boys, really enjoyed the first two, some great characters! |
anarchistfish
07.01.22 | Dark
"Just watch Fargo. Its better than True Detective"
facts. different vibe though |
anarchistfish
07.01.22 | "Dark might be the best show Netflix has ever had."
better call saul and first two seasons of HoC are the only things that even come close imo. oh and fargo ofc |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.01.22 | Yeah honestly even if we’re just talking season 1 of True Detective I still like Fargo more. It’s pretty crazy how close Noah Hawley can get to a Coen brothers vibe without ripping them off. The first three seasons of Fargo are incredible |
DoofDoof
07.01.22 | I'd rate True Detective above Fargo...but season 2 of Fargo is immense.
Would plump for Succession as most underrated out there. |
Slex
07.01.22 | Season 1 of True Detective is awe inspiring but Fargo did it twice while TD went down the drain |
Trebor.
07.01.22 | I thought TV was on a downswing, but goddamn right now we have Succession/Better Call Saul/Atlanta/Barry all running at the same time |
MarsKid
07.01.22 | I don't think anyone mentioned Orphan Black, but I used to love that show. I had issues with the final 2 seasons but those first few were awesome. |
DoofDoof
07.01.22 | For me I'd rate season 1 of Fargo and season 2 of TD about the same the former is a bit overrated and hobbit is some weird casting imo, and then I think season 2 of TD heats up alright and gets better as it gets going, it might finish stronger than season 1 even |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.01.22 | I think season 1 of Fargo is a little overrated too. I honestly think I like season 3 more. The episode with Nikki in the bowling alley is fucking incredible.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead absolutely crushed it in that season. |
protokute
07.01.22 | I really want to give Fargo a fair chance, but I just can't get into it |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.01.22 | honestly it probably just isn’t for you.
It’s peak Coen brothers worship but that’s what I love about it. I was hooked from the first episode.
Maybe try the movie? |
Slex
07.01.22 | Season 1 of Fargo is spectacular yall are weak |
trilo
07.01.22 | Fargo S1-3 is goated |
JeetJeet
07.01.22 | Season 1 of Fargo is heat but s2 is the show at its peak. S3 is extremely underrated too. |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.01.22 | Yeah that’s what I was getting at. The first three are all incredible television but I do think people usually rate 1 higher than 3.
3 takes a little longer to really get going but I think it’s better. 2 is just clearly the best. |
trilo
07.01.22 | 1 is probs better than 3 buuuut 3 has Mary Elizabeth Winstead so idk |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.01.22 | lol it’s not just that for me but god damn yes
And Ewan McGregor playing dual roles. He was fucking brilliant. |
Colton
07.02.22 | when it comes to TV there's a tier that has shows like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Wire, etc and then there's a tier above that which just has Justified |
Sharenge
07.02.22 | season 2 is my favorite season of True Detective |
neekafat
07.02.22 | If Michael Bluth didnt have the same fucking character arc every ep that show would be 1000x better. Did not age well in the streaming era |
protokute
07.02.22 | I actually really enjoyed the movie when I watched it |
Ryus
07.02.22 | when it comes to TV there's a tier that has shows like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Wire, etc and then there's a tier above that which just has *twin peaks |
foxblood
07.02.22 | I can't necessarily relate to your taste but Breaking Bad is a great show. no mention of twilight zone yet? also black books, police squad!, malcolm in the middle, madmen, X-files, simpsons up until around the 300th ep, and Xena are some of my very favorites. |
budgie
07.02.22 | i tried so many times to watch the og twilight zone stuff and a lot of the episodes are just bad, idk. some good mostly forgettable |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.02.22 | I really gotta watch twin peaks. It’s next on the list after I finish rewatching sopranos |
anarchistfish
07.02.22 | I think I prefer s1 of fargo for lorne malvo alone |
foxblood
07.02.22 | 'i tried so many times to watch the og twilight zone stuff and a lot of the episodes are just bad, idk. some good mostly forgettable'
there are some duds no doubt, it's still probably my favorite show though. |
budgie
07.02.22 | for sure. have you done tales from the crypt / tales from the darkside / creepshow ? also black mirror is super solid |
foxblood
07.02.22 | Tales from the crypt is very good. I'm a sucker for shows of that format, even Are You Afraid of the Dark? is fun for me for that reason. |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.05.22 | “I think I prefer s1 of fargo for lorne malvo alone”
Malvo was fucking awesome but Hanzee, man. What a great character. He’s a villain that you just can’t help but root for. |
Colton
07.05.22 | Justified is the best show of all time |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.05.22 | Colton’s favourite show is shameless because it has strong representation of other poor people who can’t afford clothes |
MarsKid
07.05.22 | I haven't watched enough TV but yeah Justified is the best basically |
SIMBOLIC
07.06.22 | Oof potsy that was brutal
But funny so it’s ok |
outliers
07.06.22 | The Wire is good but painfully overrated |
Deez
07.06.22 | Get out |
TalonsOfFire
07.06.22 | My top 15 is Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The X-Files, Fargo seasons 1-3, True Detective season 1, Twin Peaks mainly for season 3, The Simpsons seasons 1-9, Avatar, Hannibal, The Twilight Zone, Better Call Saul, Lost, Six Feet Under, The Office, and Westworld seasons 1-2. |
