I will forgive the absence of Better Call Saul since it hasn't actually ended yet. ..but I think I'd put it over Breaking Bad at this point.
why would you list dexter or GoT
Unfortunately the bad seasons poison the good ones for me :(. Maybe the re-boot with the old show runner will be good.

Maybe it was great at one point in your opinion, but surely there are more competitve choices.
Yeah i didn't go for on going shows that hasn't had an 'ending'.
I go with the Wire for sure. Fleabag is a contender, even with just two seasons. Or maybe that's exactly why, it never had the time to turn to shit. From US shows I would have included Leftovers, Oz and Boardwalk Empire on the poll to replace some of them (Lost, Dexter and GOT).
About as bad as Dexter and the last few seasons of GOT.
I was firm on it being The Wire, but having recently watched The Sopranos in it's entirety for the first time and rewatching Deadwood over the last few weeks I'm much less sure.
🐐: The Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood, Rome (season 1), Band of Brothers, Mr Robot.
I'd pick a different one on a different day so hard to pick just one 🤷♂️

The Sopranos was extraordinary in so many ways; it has to take the title.
The Wire is probably my personal favorite though. Lost and Breaking Bad are in the conversation for sure. Game of Thrones had a great case before the final season. Twin Peaks is legendary, but most of the second season in the original run is incredibly uneven, and honestly, a major drag. Mad Men should be considered before Dexter in my opinion.

Its Mad Men.
Also wtf @ putting Dexter on the list but not Mad Men. Just wtf.
It was an entertaining show in its first few seasons but it was very shlocky and hokey. Like a big budget soap opera. You might as well put Sons of Anarchy on the list.

I like mob movies, but I dunno if I'd like The Sopranos or not. I dropped Gomorrah near the end of the season one because it's so dark and everyone is absolutely evil. I couldn't root for anyone. Would I have a similar issue with The Sopranos?
Why would you put "a pretty good show" on this list?
Your words, not mine.
My words would be "a pretty good show for 3 seasons (in total, not in order...), and pure trash for 5 years.
Dexter season 8 is the worst piece of crap I watched every single minute of. Funny memes, though. Very funny.
I want some gifs!
Still the best Star Trek has ever been, and probably ever will be.
Sopranos is much lighter than Gomorrah. There's a lot of comedic aspects to the show. Gomorrah is extremely harsh compared to other mob tv shows. Sopranos strength is much more in the writing and how you see their worst and best play out. Gomorrah has a solid story but definitely plays more on the game of the it all
Yep.
I actually enjoy the current crop, but DS9 was on another level altogether.
My GOAT: True Detective S01
Rest of top 5;
GoT S1-S4
Band of Brothers
Chernobyl (if mini-series count)
Narcos S1-S2

Lol @ Dexter but no Mad Men
and while you're at it go ahead and drop Game of Thrones for Fleabag
Get rid of Lost, too. Replace it with one of the good Lindelof shows like The Leftovers :)

Thank you lol
It's Mad Men for me. Better Call Saul is up there as well.
Personal faves would also be Friday Night Lights, Black Mirror, 30 Rock, and Bojack Horseman. From the one season I've seen, I really like Halt and Catch Fire. I could see it being an all-time great once I finish.
Edit: I forgot about Deadwood too. Need to go and watch the movie still though.

The Sopranos was tough for me to get through the first time for that reason. Hard to root for anyone. It's worth it though. Never watched Gomorrah so I can't compare.
The Sopranos, it's dark, it's funny and it handles so many themes during the six seasons. I mean Sopranos is legit one of the funniest shows made.
Breaking Bad polling better than the Sopranos and so close to the Wire is just bananas to me. Sopranos absolutely destroys Breaking Bad in writing and character development
Yeah I think The Sopranos is one of the funniest shows ever even though it's not a comedy.
edit: Hjod beat me to this take
It's LOST. 10 years later and no show has come close to filling the void it left behind. It was a once in a lifetime kind of show.
I think about the Columbus scene or the Tony painting and just laugh
Joe Pera talks with you!!!
In this scene, Joe compares old women's hairstyles to the Saiyans before the Cell Games.

Been rewatching it again lately and just finished season 5 last week. The end was just :chefkiss: so good.
