Rank your top 5 of these HBO shows.

[edjr 6,986]

The Wire
The Sopranos
Oz
Chernobyl
Band of Brothers
The Night Of
Game of Thrones
Six Feet Under
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Deadwood
True Detective
Boardwalk Empire
The White Lotus

 

Hard pressed for me to rank these, but I will give it a go. 

 

1. Oz (perfect)
2. Game of Thrones (knocked down a spot from a bad final 2 episodes)
3. Sopranos (knocked down a spot from a bad final season)
4. Deadwood (Al Swearengen might be my favorite character of all time)
5. Boardwalk Empire

 

True Detective may have had the greatest 1st season of all, but the follow ups ruined it as a series.

1. GoT

I've only seen 5 of them, so my list will be bunk, but here is the ranking of the 5 I saw.

1. The Wire
2. Oz

5. True Detective

Entourage isn't on the list. Fockwads.  

Get that 30 minute BS outta here. I did like the show. But cmon now

[Hardcore troubadour 15,992]

The Wire doesn’t hold up. You realize on the rewatch how stupid it was.

Never seen it. I have tried twice. I stop like 15/20 minutes in.

[Ron_Artest 2,374]

I've only ever seen the Sopranos, so i'll go with 

1) Sopranos

The first go round is fine.  By the third I was laughing.  David Simon is so fockin predictable. Same thing goes for The Deuce. 

[MDC 8,008]

Of the ones I’ve seen:

1. True Detective first season. 2. Sopranos. 3. Curb Your Enthusiasm.

#1 Sopranos.

#2 Band of Brothers

#3 Deadwood..agree Al Swearengen was a great character and one of the best final lines ever

#4 GOT

#5 Chernobyl and true Detective (tie I guess)

#6 Six Feet Under.  Still one of the best series finale episodes ever

#7 Curb

The rest, kind of all bunched together.    I'd add Silicon Valley and Veep to this list

[Ron_Artest 2,374]

If Silicon Valley is a choice then my updated list is

1) Silicon Valley

2) Sopranos

You’re right, Oz had a much higher entertainment level. 

[Fnord 2,623]

1. The Wire this used to be my favorite show ever, but when I tried to rewatch it, it fell flat. But for the sake of argument I'll leave it at 1.

2. GoT

3. Six Feet Under best finale ever besides MASH

4. Sopranos

5. Veep

I thought Chernobyl and Band of Brothers were way overrated. Deadwood was ok but Swearengen was a fantastic character.
