EternalShinyAndChrome 3,863 Posted January 5, 2019 Justified The Wire The Sopranos Breaking Bad The Shield Fargo All great shows as my rankings indicate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,788 Posted January 5, 2019 Never saw the wire. But Justified and The Shield are to my favorite cop shows for sure. to my way of thinking, there's never been a cooler Cop then Raylan Givens. The cat and mouse between him and Walton Goggins was fantastic. And there are some seriously hot women on that show to boot. Somehow, Timothy Olyphant manages to other lines that are simultaneously menacing, cool and funny as hell all of the same time. If you've never seen the show. I strongly recommend you watch it.

wiffleball 4,788 Posted January 5, 2019 By the way, if Sopranos is on that list? Then for fucks sake, Sons of Anarchy should be on there. As far as a crime series, crime family, cop and crime type show? SOA took it to a whole new level. Some of the most brutal, gut-wrenching scenes I've seen in any format. Definitely made The Sopranos look like cartoon characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireballer 2,639 Posted January 5, 2019 Joe Kenda is the only cop show you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,659 Posted January 5, 2019 Joe Kenda is the only cop show you need. will check it out but it sounds like a different category of TV show then the above, probably should have left out Fargo and included something else since it's an anthology based show.

tanatastic 2,062 Posted January 5, 2019 Breaking bad is the best show ever, period. Fargo is so good, so so good. Wire I really liked but didn’t quite love as much Sopranos been so long, if I had time I’d rewatch Haven’t seen the others. People mentioned SOA, that’s prob in my top 3 shows, incredible show. Dexter I loved as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 7,152 Posted January 5, 2019 A lot of supposed cop shows in this thread really arent cop shows. Unless any show that focuses on criminals but sometimes has cops as side characters is a cop show? NYPD Blue and Law and Order are my favorites. I like Sopranos and Breaking Bad better than both of them but neither are cop shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbivore 1,117 Posted January 5, 2019 The Shield The Wire Breaking Bad Fargo haven't seen the other 2, cept first season of Sopranos which was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,659 Posted January 5, 2019 Justified The Wire The Sopranos Breaking Bad The Shield Fargo I just recently finished the wire, stopped after season 2 a few years ago and just started the shield. For me... Breaking Bad, hands down the best all around story, filming, acting, etc The Sopranos there were a few things kinda cringe worthy, but I love Mafia stuff and it was well done and Def a different twist Justified...a little cheesy but overall a pretty decent show The wire don't get me wrong I liked it but don't get the huge props some give it The shield jury is still out but so far so good just started season 2 Fargo wish I chose a different show cause I was kinda thinking the 1st season with Billy Bob which I really liked... Fell off a little after imo still good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,292 Posted January 5, 2019 SOA was a great show. Need to check out Justified, but I don't know if I could take the main character seriously after he played the tranny on SOA, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,659 Posted January 5, 2019 Not great but pretty good if you like Mafia shows isBad Blood, season 1 is on Netflix... Canadian show about the Canadian mob. Stars Kim Coates (Tig from SOA). 1st season is only 6 episodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenatorRock 708 Posted January 6, 2019 Y'all mfrs tryna throw SOA in with this list are got dam retarded. Rank of shows in OP based on quality: Breaking Bad The Wire The Sopranos The Shield JustifiedFargo Rank of shows in OP based on personal enjoyment: The Shield Justified The Sopranos Breaking Bad The Wire Fargo Fargo really doesn't belong in the conversation because it is an anthology. The first 2 seasons were awesome, the 3rd I tried several times and could not get past E1. New cast every season really makes it hard to compare as a series. Though S1 and S2 were as quality as the average season from the other shows listed they do not touch Justified S2, The Wire S4, or Breaking Bad S5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
