edjr 6,996 Posted Monday at 07:13 PM 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,925 Posted Monday at 07:38 PM I've only seen 5 of them, so my list will be bunk, but here is the ranking of the 5 I saw. The Wire Oz Band of Brothers Thrones (didn't watch the last season) True Detective Wire head and shoulders better than all of the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermike80 2,114 Posted Monday at 08:11 PM 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 #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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Artest 2,382 Posted Monday at 08:13 PM If Silicon Valley is a choice then my updated list is 1) Silicon Valley 2) Sopranos 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fnord 2,624 Posted Monday at 08:55 PM 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.

That said I rarely rewatch a show. Ever even rewatched Breaking Bad or The Sopranos I made it through about three episodes of Oz before tapping out. Didn't like it. Tried watching Breaking Bad all the way through a second time and only made it through season 2. For whatever reason it wasn't as good the second time. I'd recommend watching Sopranos again, it's been over 25 years since it premiered and you've probably forgotten enough to make it worthwhile again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 1,013 Posted 8 hours ago Never finished Boardwalk Empire. It was sorta interesting, but ... the pc-ness - ugh. I'm not even political, but jeesh. Ya know which character is gonna die next? Just wait until someone disparages - an Asian, Jew, injun, black, beats up a woman, or hurts an animal. They'll be dead by the end of the next episode. It became laughably predictable.
