Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) In no particular order: Battlestar Galactica The Shield Curb Your Enthusiasm The Wire Breaking Bad Stranger Things Deadwood Chernobyl The Americans The Leftovers Honourable mentions, or godly until a certain point: The Office - Don't really remember it after Steve Carell left Dexter - C'mon we all know where it went off the rails True Detective (Season 2 is mystifyingly bad, like a post 2010 M. Night Shyamalan film) VEEP - until Armando Ianucci left) Game of Thrones (7th season is meh, 8th is well... I've never forgotten a show so quick) House of Cards - kept playing on wayyyy too long Sons of Anarchy - until they go to Ireland... Modern Family - first few seasons are hilarious, been forgettable lately Edited July 26, 2019 by Teh_Diplomat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chernobyl was a fantastic series, and should definitely be up there (totally omitted that one) but it ended because well how do you have a 2nd season? The thing with something like Star Trek is it could (we'll have to wait to find out) very well be in the top part of my list, or suffer from some poor pacing, or a derivative plot and go into the 2nd tier I wrote down. You have to judge the show by the entirety of it, after all it could fall off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The series didn't need to continue after that, they're just doing it because they can tell more. It ended with them destroying the enemy and now they got new frontiers they're going to introduce.

My point exactly, next season they're going 1000 years into the future; as per the news from Comic Con. My point being, what if it doesn't turn out well, like say the later seasons of Game of Thrones, or Dexter, then we can't really consider it among TV's greatest shows.

jehurey 3,313 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Because of the 50th anniversary of man landing on the moon, I saw the remastered HD version of HBO's From the Earth to the Moon this week. Its genuinely moving television. Sometimes you get tired of television that brings you down, and you want to see something that lifts you up. This miniseries should be shown in schools to kids of all ages. Its the best type of wholesome, inspirational television. Everybody should see the new remastered version.

kaz 2,447 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 what is recent memory to you? the sopranos isn't on that list but the wire is? 1999 vs 2002? go fuck yourself cooke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,952 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Great lists. And ya, the sopranos should be included, if you are adding shield/wire. I think dark (German show on Netflix) is something special, quite possibly the smartest show on tv. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,952 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 And props to everyone who mentioned the leftovers. Incredible tv! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not watching any more. It ended season 2 for me. So the show is over, in my opinion. And seeing as it ended the past year I can say it was one of the greatest shows in recent memory, which it is.
