Ryus: favorite tv shows ranked

Ryus 07.20.22	never seen the sopranos so stfu
tectactoe 07.20.22	literally came here to comment 'where is the sopranos' bro how have you not seen that by now?
Ryus 07.20.22	it is an inevitability that just has not happened yet. within the next year for sure lol
onionbubs 07.20.22	sopranos is my top for sure but a lot of good picks here. i gotta get around to deadwood
Ryus 07.20.22	deadwood is incredible. best dialogue of any tv show imo
Rowan5215 07.20.22	damn got the correct Office nice Sopranos >>> Wire tho
MarsKid 07.20.22	Justified? :^(
Ryus 07.20.22	justified is good i dont think its deserving of top 10 though
onionbubs 07.20.22	im only like halfway through the wire tbf but ya sopranos >>> [2]. still def good so far tho excited to hit s4 as that seems to be the consensus fav
Ryus 07.20.22	season 4 is my favorite i think. season 2 is underrated and might be my second fave
onionbubs 07.20.22	season 2 is great. the environment shift did take me a few episodes to get into but once i did i got pretty invested. plus it brought us omars fuckin incredible court scene
ffs 07.20.22	seen peep show? worth a look if you like the uk office. not saying it deserves to be on the list but maybe
ReefaJones 07.20.22	Office US is better than Office UK
Ryus 07.20.22	office US is the most mediocre comedy show ever @ffs yea peep show rules but sometimes its even too cringe for me lmao ig im not british enough for it
ReefaJones 07.20.22	"office US is the most mediocre comedy show ever" wrong
Ryus 07.20.22	watching something like arrested development and the office back to back shows just how shit the writing/jokes are on the office. the humor is usually so obvious and lame
LeddSledd 07.20.22	I live right by Deadwood how have I not heard of that show by now
ReefaJones 07.20.22	Ryus I can smell your dirty hipster neck beard from here
Ryus 07.20.22	yea my list is super hipster with unknown classics like uhh the wire and breaking bad not my fault the office suckz
ReefaJones 07.20.22	Just checked if I'm crazy at least imdb seems to agree with me.
Ryus 07.20.22	its not bad tbh its just mediocre as hell and i would never put it anywhere near a best tv shows list
ReefaJones 07.20.22	6th highest rated tv show on imdb oh wow
anat 07.20.22	the thick of it is prob best comedy out of the uk since peep show if you wanna give that a pop
ReefaJones 07.20.22	best comedy out of uk is black books
Ryus 07.20.22	i need to up my UK comedy game. heard good things about both of those
Trebor. 07.20.22	Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is the best UK comedy Black Books is fine but I just can't do shows with laugh tracks
el_newg 07.20.22	huh, I guess I should watch The Leftovers. seems interesting, never rly heard people talk about it.
ReefaJones 07.20.22	Black Books is one of the rare cases where the laugh track didn't bother me at all. It's super witty humor
Cryptkeeper 07.20.22	Darkplace is the best UK comedy [2]
Trebor. 07.20.22	I'm a fan of the US Office but it would be weird to have a show where half the seasons suck ass on a list like this
ReefaJones 07.20.22	I don't have it in my top 10 either and it does start slow but there are episodes that are absolutely hilarious.
Trebor. 07.20.22	The show falls off a cliff after like season 5
el_newg 07.20.22	I like US Office too, prefer it over UK tbh. but I'd prob take both Parks and Rec and B99 over US Office and they are all the same show props to Mike Schur for that lol
Cryptkeeper 07.20.22	Community >>> Parks and Rec imo
el_newg 07.20.22	agreed
onionbubs 07.20.22	community is better than all those shows ez
Ryus 07.20.22	never got into community tbh
ffs 07.20.22	lol yeah true nearly forgot about darkplace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brpUVlXt1f0
Ryus 07.20.22	never heard of darkplace sounds great though
demigod! 07.20.22	I just watched Sopranos at the beginning of this year lol, it was really incredible I highly recommend you get on that asap. The final season in particular, might be one of the very best seasons of tv i've ever seen. meanwhile I need to stop shitting around and finally watch Deadwood already it sounds great also 2 the album rules i own it on vinyl for some reason
Emim 07.20.22	Community, while great, falls apart way faster than the office does.
TalonsOfFire 07.20.22	The Office seasons 2-4 is peak sitcom tbh, and I love plenty of seasons 5-7 too. My ranking would be 1. Breaking Bad 2. Game of Thrones 3. The X-Files 4. Fargo 5. True Detective season 1 6. Twin Peaks 7. The Simpsons seasons 1-9 8. Hannibal 9. Avatar 10. Better Call Saul = Six Feet Under
Shemson 07.20.22	Wait there are other people who know and love Darkplace? I swear nobody has mentioned by Dean Lerner avatar in all the time I’ve been here 🤣
Ryus 07.20.22	true detective season 1 is incredible for sure, if i was ranking individual seasons of TV that would be top 5 maybe. need to see fargo
Slex 07.20.22	Mr Robot might honestly have my favorite final season of all time
onionbubs 07.20.22	mr robot s4 is incredible yea. my 2nd favorite season of tv behind sopranos 6b
Ryus 07.20.22	yeah slex they really knew what they were doing with that show all the way to the very end. the last season has some of the most shocking moments i've seen
TalonsOfFire 07.20.22	I think anthology shows should count season by season if that’s how the stories are separated. Unpopular opinion I’m sure, but I tried watching Mr. Robot and couldn’t get into it by episode 5 and stopped, seemed like a rip off of ideas from Fight Club, The Matrix, and American Beauty to me. That stylish but also lowlife late ‘90s take down the system kinds of thrillers. Maybe it gets better tho who knows.
Ryus 07.20.22	even though it does get better mr robot rules right out of the gate so its prob not for you
cold 07.20.22	"never seen the sopranos so stfu" I didn't watch the Sopranos until last month. Finished it all in 3 weeks and now it's my favorite show of all time. So the hype isssssss real.
Colton 07.20.22	it does rip off Fight Club but it's good
Ryus 07.20.22	its gonna happen cold haha i might start soon. itll be hard to dethrone twin peaks for me though. season 3 is easily the best and most affecting thing ive ever seen
onionbubs 07.20.22	damn ya stopped mr robot right before arguably the best episode of the season. i do still kinda think its not for you tho i am fairly new to the sopranos ship myself despite my endless raving about it. only just finished it this winter
TalonsOfFire 07.20.22	Fight Club and The Matrix are both seminal, important movies in my life so maybe I’m just a sensitive snowflake when something recycles those ideas.
cold 07.20.22	Did you ever watch Six Feet Under, ryus?
Ryus 07.20.22	i hadnt see fight club before i watched the show and i hate the matrix so i didnt have that issue lol and cold i saw a few episodes but didnt get into it, not sure if its my thing
cold 07.20.22	It's worth it if you invest the time into the show, it's a real slow burn at first. HBO really knows what they're doing (most of the time) with their original shows.
Ryus 07.20.22	word i’ll give it another try some time
TalonsOfFire 07.20.22	Six Feet Under is an amazing show that everyone should watch. HBO is probably the consistently best network. Never seen Deadwood. Watched the first few seasons of Sopranos and enjoyed it but kinda got the gist of it at that point. Saw the first two seasons of The Wire and thought it was great, but same thing.
AmericanFlagAsh 07.20.22	The only show on this list that I've watched and enjoyed is Breaking Bad
Ryus 07.20.22	have you seen twin peaks? based on your list i feel like you might dig it
TalonsOfFire 07.20.22	Seinfeld is cool but Curb Your Enthusiasm is on another level.
AmericanFlagAsh 07.20.22	I've tried watching Twink Peaks like 3 times and could never get into it, but it should be a show I love
Ryus 07.20.22	damn rip. what about the leftovers since you like lost
Ryus 07.20.22	"Twink Peaks" now thats a show id watch
TalonsOfFire 07.20.22	Season 1 is fantastic so the show might just not be for you. Season 3 is incredible and unlike any other show or movie.
AmericanFlagAsh 07.20.22	Lmaooooooo Freudian slip Gotta check Leftovers for sure
Slex 07.20.22	Talons you should definitely watch Deadwood as soon as humanly possible
Sharenge 07.20.22	no courage the cowardly dog unbe-fucking-lievable
0xME 07.20.22	Mr. Robot's album should have been M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
combustion07 07.20.22	1. Twin Peaks 2. Futurama 3. DARK 4. The Wire 5. Breaking Bad 6. Twilight Zone 7. Soprano's 8. The OA 9. Malcolm in the Middle 10. King of the Hill 11. The Office (US) 12. Stranger Things 13. Rick and Morty 14. South Park 15. Rocko's Modern Life 16. Haunting of Hill House 17. Courage the Cowardly Dog 18. Eastbound & Down 19. Wilfred (US) 20. Louie 21. Spawn 22. OZ 23. Tales From the Crypt 24. Masters of Horror 25. Yuyu Hawkisho I didn't include sketch comedy shows but it I did MAD TV, Whitest Kids u'Know, Mr. Show and Chapelle Show would definitely be there and likely pretty high up. Love me some sketch comedy!
DaveTrane 07.20.22	not an anime guy?
Gyromania 07.20.22	I'm sorry but The Office US shits all over the UK version. I love Ricky Gervais, but the American adaptation is the one time an American version got it right. Iconic characters, great humour, way more content to consume. There's no contest there. I feel like Seinfeld aged horribly but otherwise lost has lots of great stuff. Just glad to finally see a list with Mr. 🤖 Lol
Ryus 07.20.22	i won't dispute anyone saying that seinfeld has aged badly but i love it. the office UK is basically perfect imo, probably the saddest sitcom out there. david brent is one of the best sitcom characters of all time, just so tragically pathetic. never seen a comedy show with such a good balance of sad and hilarious. and just subjectively i think its way funnier than the american version @davetrane havent seen any anime ever tbh
Ryus 07.20.22	@combustion cool list i havent seen a lot of those but twin peaks is the only correct number one. louie is terrific
JeetJeet 07.20.22	You real for showing love to The Leftovers
Ryus 07.20.22	yeah dude it rules. scratches that twin peaks itch for me
Colton 07.20.22	it's disturbing that you actually think deadwood is better than justified
Emim 07.20.22	Maybe the current generation will feel differently, but I don't find any issue with Seinfeld being dated. Again, that might be because I remember a time before everyone had cell phones and the internet could solve a lot of arguments. Still the best sitcom ever made imo
Ryus 07.20.22	lol colton pretty sure its not an unpopular opinion at all
Colton 07.20.22	they have the same imdb score so idk
Ryus 07.20.22	im rather disturbed someone would consider justified the greatest show of all time
PotsyTater 07.20.22	Curb >>>>>>>>>>> Seinfeld
Colton 07.20.22	best part of good movies/tv is good characters. and characters like Boyd Crowder, Mags Bennett, Tim, Arlo, Wynn etc are so good. it's kinda like if you took the slightly more goofy/less believable aspects of the Breaking Bad universe and put them into a show that actually fully suits that vibe
Ryus 07.20.22	wha thappened to you potsy curb is good but i kinda got tired of it after a while
PotsyTater 07.20.22	I got banned for calling jenkim a pedo-simp for defending the anathema pedo presumably by willie
Ryus 07.20.22	rip willie is a lame
PotsyTater 07.20.22	It’s ok he’s just in denial that his precious buttprog band turned out to be a bunch of kiddy diddlers, happy to serve as an outlet for him to vent his frustrations
EyesWideShut 07.20.22	What about Married With Children, Roseanne, Melrose Place, and Daria ?
PunkerBlast 07.20.22	Going with what Emim said, Seinfeld came out at that time where technology wasn't everywhere, but it's still modern for its era-ish. Any sort of pager joke, likely just tied into the idea of there being payphones around. I know Jerry had a computer in his apartment, but I don't ever remember anything really involving that. Maybe he had some NYC dial up, but he's a standup comedian so he was out a alot. When he was home he probably would rather watch television and talk on the phone than post on some BBS.
Deez 07.21.22	'mr robot s4 is incredible yea. my 2nd favorite season of tv behind sopranos 6b' Fking WORD Nothing ties everything up as well as that last season of Mr Robot, Unreal, Went from being a show I loved to one of my faves ever with how that season landed everything.
Ryus 07.21.22	"What about Married With Children, Roseanne, Melrose Place, and Daria ?" im not a boomer so i havent seen the first two. i think ive seen daria once or twice
Mort. 07.21.22	glad to see you have the uk office and not the vastly inferior us one uk office is like a realistic snapshot of the total tedium of working in an office and the miserable cringe of david brent us office is wacky and ridiculous and burns through so many characters you simply couldnt give a shit about
Ryus 07.21.22	thank u mort its really not even close
Mort. 07.21.22	also i see people have recced you some uk comedy. i second black books and garth marenghis dark place. would also reccomend 'that mitchell and webb look' for a sketch show (made by the two guys from peep show).
Mort. 07.21.22	dont get me wrong, the us office has some genuinely funny moments. but if you condensed it theres really like 3 seasons of material there (thats a rough estimate). its so melodramatic and gooey. the uk office is crushingly realistic. the highpoint of the us office is the end where everyone is happy and in relationships and getting married and everythings worked out well for everyone the highpoint at the end of the uk office is david brent telling finchy to fuck off and the fact that a woman tells him hes not completely unbearable
Ryus 07.21.22	did you watch the UK office christmas specials mort?
Emim 07.21.22	"Curb >>>>>>>>>>> Seinfeld" Curb is also amazing, but no
PunkerBlast 07.21.22	I never got around to Curb. I didn't have HBO. And at the time I wasn't just going to buy some dvd sets I guess to try it out. It's probably very funny. I still like Seinfeld loads.
artiswar 07.21.22	better call Saul > The Wire??? wut?
Ryus 07.21.22	i mean its very close. the wire is kind of perfect and super impressive but doesnt rly grab me emotionally like some of the shows higher than it. just dont really feel the personal connection with it like i do with the other shows
artiswar 07.21.22	fair enough
Mort. 07.21.22	'did you watch the UK office christmas specials mort?' i think so? yeah i just checked and i must have because its when Brent tells Finchy to fuck off. also, dawn and tim get together in the very last episode. this is something us office fucked up on. the will they/wont they was the most interesting thing about Pam and Jim. everything after that is who gives a fuck. its just gooey audient fellating. on another note, the scenes where David Brent is doing appearances at nightclubs is so fucking depressing and realistic for what hasbeen celebs in the uk end up doing
pizzamachine 07.21.22	Those sum shows
EyesWideShut 07.21.22	Sanford & Son and All In The Family is still funny
EyesWideShut 07.21.22	Martin too !!
PunkerBlast 07.21.22	Gotta get some classics in there, whatta bout fuckin' NewHart :D Mash. Well I never watched that not something I would have been interested in when I was younger.
Ryus 07.21.22	please keep the boomer recs to the minimum this is a zoomer thread
Trebor. 07.21.22	The majority of pre HBO era shows have aged like shit other than like Twilight Zone
PunkerBlast 07.21.22	TBH I do still like the Bob Newhart show. It's still hilarious and isn't bad at all. I watched it a several times as an adult and I was like wow this show was actually low key edgy. But that's all I'll say about the boomer shows. Burn Notice was pretty good. I don't think it'll make most top ten lists but I wound up getting into it.
GreyShadow 07.21.22	@combustion, wkuk might be peak humor so good on you
UpwardSpiral 07.21.22	Peep show is truly amazing if you are into this kind of humour
Ryus 07.21.22	yea peep show is good not my fave
Cimnele 07.21.22	cool list, check sesame street
combustion07 07.23.22	WKUK is most definitely peak humor. RIP to Trevor! That show dropped when my dark humor was really hitting its peak and I gotta say those first few seasons spoke to my soul and are definitely the hardest I've ever laughed from any sketch comedy
DaveTrane 08.08.22	check Monster, its fantastic
Gyromania 08.09.22	"The show falls off a cliff after like season 5" Not true whatsoever. Season 4 is one of the weaker overall seasons, and 6 and 7 are arguably better than 5. 8 and 9 is where it falls off, and it's still good, just nowhere near as good
Gyromania 08.09.22	"Curb >>>>>>>>>>> Seinfeld" Also this. Seinfeld is good but it didn't age nearly as well
onionbubs 08.09.22	about half a season away from finishing deadwood and it has been ridiculously fuckin good thus far
Gyromania 08.09.22	is twin peaks rly worth the praise it gets? i often wonder the same of deadwood
onionbubs 08.09.22	deadwood absolutely so far, esp from a dialogue standpoint. arguably the best ive ever seen. builds a fuck ton of rlly strong characters too twin peaks rules too but i am by no means the authority on that as im yet to brave the return in full (tried watching way too close to when i first finished sopranos and was ultimately still j too high on that show for anything else to hit at the time lol). gonna go back to it this fall
Gyromania 08.09.22	sopranos is one i intend to start soon, same with the wire. rn i've been very, very into succession, which is easily one of the best shows i've seen at this point (up there with better call saul, bb, mr robot. i've got deadwood on my list too, as well as justified, the leftovers, barry, nathan for you. ugh, so much great tv that i haven't seen yet
Ryus 01.10.23	update almost finished with the sopranos and its on pace to be #2 here. fucking masterpiece
anode 06.01.23	damn watching twin peaks and can tell its gunna be a banger. thanks ryus. was desperate to find something and googled sputnikmusic tv show list and this popped up. helping me out during my bed riddenness:)
90m80s 06.01.23	tp is the baest
Ryus 06.01.23	oh swag haha have you ever seen any lynch stuff before?
Colton 06.01.23	so hyped for the Justified reboot
Winesburgohio 06.01.23	Deadwood is the bestest
Ryus 06.01.23	deadwood is incredible yes wines i would have pegged you for a twin peaks fan
Colton 06.01.23	if you like Deadwood watch Justified (it has the guy in it) if you don't like Deadwood also watch Justified
PotsyTater 06.01.23	This list is just as simultaneously satisfying and disappointing as your music taste
Ryus 06.01.23	i have seen some it was pretty good but i dont feel inclined to pick it up especially now that its been a few years but yeah olyphant rules
Ryus 06.01.23	lol what do you take issue with tater
budgie 06.01.23	anyone who hasnt seen hbo rome is dead to me
Ryus 06.01.23	there r a lot of things i have not seen that i would like to
budgie 06.01.23	butbut but
90m80s 06.01.23	u havent seen tp tho thats worse fudgie
budgie 06.01.23	whats twink peaks abt ive never heard of it before
Ryus 06.01.23	its about the breastaurant actually
90m80s 06.01.23	twink peaks is about fbi special agent dale cooper's investigation into the mysterious death of high school girl laura palmer until it isnt /no spoilers
budgie 06.01.23	i only watch romcoms and that dont sound like no romcom
Ryus 06.01.23	it has many romantic and comedic elements
90m80s 06.01.23	seasons 1 and 2 are a soap opera
budgie 06.01.23	i meant zomromcoms** sory
Cormano 06.01.23	"if you like Deadwood watch Justified (it has the guy in it)" which guy? mcshane?
Cormano 06.01.23	also ryus your top 3 shows are mine as well
90m80s 06.01.23	forgot yu yu hakusho
Snake. 06.01.23	went back to arrested development after 8 years of apathy and i've never laughed harder
Ryus 06.01.23	arrested development would be on here if we're just talking about the first 3 seasons. truly the funniest show ever during its prime @90m80s anime is not for me @cormano hell yeah m/
rabidfish 06.01.23	my faves are: - curb (Larry David is actually an angel) - Twin Peaks (s3 specifically) - the simpsons (idfc that everything past S12 was boring at best, S3-S8 is a god run) - uuuuh... i don't really care that much about anything else
budgie 06.01.23	whaddabout hbo rome rabidfosh
90m80s 06.01.23	firewalkwithme
Ryus 06.01.23	all good stuff. i like curb but havent seen that much of it since it was getting kinda repetitive but it is very funny and larry david does rule and yeah, if we're talking about highest highs, simpsons is def here. formative show for me
anode 06.01.23	jesus christ what have i started. is the fbi agent related to will forte? or did will forte just base his entire career off him? lol and no i never seen any david lynch stuff but have wanted to. expecting some bizarre shit to happen haha
rabidfish 06.01.23	@budgie see point 4 on previous post. and historic drama is something i was never interested in. Oh, and I like Poirot a lot. I like petty decadent aristocrats getting outsmarted and owned by a fat dude who basically does everything he does out of a massive superiority complex. Agatha Christie rules.
90m80s 06.01.23	dont take credit for what fudgie dont
budgie 06.01.23	blocke & muted
90m80s 06.01.23	reported
Winesburgohio 06.01.23	I was going to say we have the same two (2) favourites. Season 3 of Twin Peaks is an utter monument and I can't imagine it being topped on any terms, best season of television, think about it daily etc., but Deadwood has the scene of Doc dancing with Jewel, as nimble as a forest creature, that fills me with pure joy. And it's second season is perfect. Perfect!
Ryus 06.01.23	ah ok understandable, now everything checks out and yeah deadwood is probably the most "perfect" tv show ive seen, obviously twin peaks is quite flawed but all the lovable for it. but the return is just magical. just today i made a comment on sputnikmusic.com about the fact that i still think about the return constantly. true art
Winesburgohio 06.01.23	I'm rewatching Twin Peaks w/ my partner, for whom it is the first time, and the magic of being with someone discovering it and loving it! I adore it! While being haunted and harrowed by it of course. The final scream tattooed on my brain / slipped under my fingernails. Have u seen Rectify? Extraordinary show. The only good Justified ever did was make people confuse it and watch the superior show by accident. I'm pompous but correct and handsonne
Ryus 06.01.23	have not, looks good tho! might have to check it im surprised no one in this thread has said “mad men” thats another one that i havent seen
MarsKid 06.01.23	"Have u seen Rectify? Extraordinary show. The only good Justified ever did was make people confuse it and watch the superior show by accident. I'm pompous but correct and handsonne" Pompous, yes. Correct, no.
Ryus 06.01.23	handsome yes obviously i said my piece about justified, i dont think itd ever touch this list even if i finished it
MarsKid 06.01.23	I'm not well-versed enough in TV to dispute that, but I do think Justified is being sold super short here. Brilliant show throughout with a satisfying conclusion, only hiccup was season 5 but 6 was a grand slam.
Ryus 06.01.23	the inevitable deadwood comparisons don’t do it any favors since it’s a clear second in basically every way when considering them side by side
MarsKid 06.01.23	Don't think it's a clear second in every way. Costuming, scenery, etc. 100% go to Deadwood easily, but I wouldn't discount the character building and acting of Justified.
Ryus 06.02.23	hmmmmmmmmmaybepossibly
90m80s 06.02.23	ever seen Kung Fu (1972)?
budgie 06.02.23	have u guys seen twin preaks its so good
90m80s 06.02.23	fudgie u poser
budgie 06.02.23	ur so mean cuz u want this body
90m80s 06.02.23	u never even watched twin peaks
Ryus 06.02.23	"Kung Fu (1972)" no is it good
90m80s 06.02.23	yeah look it up. david carradine plays main char.
anode 06.02.23	man the acting in tv shows is so bad
90m80s 06.02.23	which ones?
Ryus 06.02.23	haha if ur talking about twin peaks thats part of the style/charm
90m80s 06.02.23	acting is reacting
anode 06.02.23	im guessing that first season is low budget, hoping it picks up a bit but its entertaining me lol
Winesburgohio 06.02.23	Sorry to dwell but no way Mars, they're in different leagues. Justified is fun-ish pulpy entertainment, Deadwood is a biblical rendering of our very foundations, Shakespearean in dialogue and something entirely it's own in tone. U just Luv 2 See It Love is Blind: Japan is pretty good
evilford 06.02.23	Check Severance
anode 06.02.23	Hoping lynch gets back to writing/directing in s2. You can definitely feel the drop off
TalonsOfFire 06.02.23	Lynch was discouraged by the network making him reveal the killer of Laura Palmer in s2 and basically left the show until the finale. Not his best era, cause I love the episode that concludes the Palmer storyline, and he left to make Wild at Heart which is easily his worst movie besides Dune. Still haven’t watched a show this decade better than Severance.
Tundra 06.02.23	breaking bad > better call saul easy
Ryus 06.02.23	lol spoilers talons BCS is a lot better than breaking bad, wasn't even sure if i should include breaking bad on this list. characters are stronger, less goofy action shit, more polished right from the get-go. breaking bad is just a lot of fun but not much more than that really. i liked it a lot as a teen so have some nostalgia for it but i like BCS a lot more, saul is just a way better character than walt. and kim ofc
Ryus 06.02.23	sorta unrelated note but after watching the sopranos, the fact that people always compare it to "breaking bad" is kind of cute lol. its not even really a contest
onionbubs 06.02.23	yeah if its sopranos v breaking bad its sopranos absolutely no contest bcs obv a more fair comparison but is again way better
TalonsOfFire 06.02.23	I didn’t spoil who killed Laura Palmer I just said they tell you somewhere in season 2! BB is way better and more consistent than BCS imo but I love both shows.
Ryus 06.02.23	lol fair. for me even saying that is a spoiler but im anal about spoilers lmao
90m80s 06.02.23	tbf the killer reveal kinda gets completely undercut in the return so wouldnt worry about it at all
anode 06.02.23	Yeah you’re good talons but livin on the edge haha. Partially my fault if it gets spoiled for reading a thread about the show
90m80s 06.02.23	and def dont skip the movie Fire Walk With Me between seasons 2 and 3 (the return). such a badass movie. in my top 3 movies of all time.
Ryus 06.02.23	yeah fire walk with me is amazing
anode 06.02.23	Hhhokay
Chippe 06.02.23	Deadwood and Community are fantastic. Not cool too dig Game of Thrones anymore? Have to say that Ted Lasso is my personal choice the last couple of years. Lovely as a counter balance to my slightly disillusioned view of how people tend to behave against each other. Peace!
MoM 06.02.23	“ BCS is a lot better than breaking bad” [2] I love BB, but BCS rolls that shit hard
Ryus 06.02.23	ive seen s1 of GoT and read book 1 and they were both good, but for obvious reasons i feel disinclined to ever continue lol
90m80s 06.02.23	i got into GoT really late, prob before the last season. was ok to watch it but didnt finish the last season. tried the books couldnt get past the 2nd. would rather reread tolkien or dig into the countless lotr supplement books. never watched amazon lotr series.
Mort. 06.02.23	not even a contest as in sopranos is better than breaking bad? i think sopranos has higher highs but more filler. still think sopranos is better overall i only watched it for the first time ever a few months ago. watching the wire atm
90m80s 06.02.23	sopranos > breaking bad > better call saul
Ryus 06.02.23	"not even a contest as in sopranos is better than breaking bad?" ya "i think sopranos has higher highs but more filler." i suppose i get it, but being so character-based, there's very little that i would personally call filler except maybe an episode or two. even if they don't advance the plot much there's usually interesting stuff there. breaking bad is honestly just way less substantive, which was super apparent when i tried to rewatch it. there's basically nothing you get the second time that you would've missed the first time. in terms of characters, its really not even close. breaking bad has maybe three decently interesting characters (walt, gus, mike). the sopranos has like 30 lol. in terms of tony vs. walter, the second time you watch "breaking bad" walter is just an unlikable miserable bitch. tony is wayy more multifaceted
90m80s 06.02.23	sopranos is one of those character development experiences where you gradually learn more about each character and wind up disliking them all by the end. that said, sop offers more artfulness making it open for interpretation. tony is terrifying esp in dreams he looks practically demonic in his mannerisms and attitude. great show and the ending obvs offers opportunity to go deeper. bb doesnt really give a deeper moment. bcs was pretty good but the end was just sad and felt rushed plus pulled in some bb crap to wrap it all up prettily.
budgie 06.02.23	i hate community infact there are few things i hate more than community
Ryus 06.02.23	most sitcoms ive seen suck community, big bang theory, friends, schitts creek, family guy, modern family...yeah all pretty awful
90m80s 06.02.23	community is ok but gradually becomes too stupid to enjoy
Ryus 06.02.23	someone tried telling me that skyler white is a better character than carmela soprano i didnt even realize that was possible as an opinion
budgie 06.02.23	"community is ok but gradually becomes too stupid to enjoy by gradually you mean by the first skit in the pilot
Ryus 06.02.23	would watch for alison brie tho
TalonsOfFire 06.02.23	I’ve only seen the first two seasons of The Sopranos, and heard each season is weaker than the previous, which I don’t know for sure cause I haven’t watched more but BB and BCS are both way better imo. Also Game of Thrones is one of the best shows ever, they just fumbled the landing. Community is solid and I like Modern Fanily a lot, until the last few seasons. Friends and The Big Bang Theory do nothing for me.
90m80s 06.02.23	ryus wtf budguy ken jeong is funny do u like hangover
Ryus 06.02.23	what did i do
90m80s 06.02.23	talons weird i thought sop got better as it went. gets more experimental and open towards the end minus the ultra dated iraq war plotline. sop gets better and gets worse at the same time i guess. not into sitcoms.
Ryus 06.02.23	sopranos def doesnt get worse, yeah
90m80s 06.02.23	ryus i was saying wtf to the skyler > carmela take. thats a very confused and actually dissociated from any reality whatsoever stance.
Ryus 06.02.23	oh haha. yeah i was pretty baffled lmao
rabidfish 06.02.23	Community is kinda funny sometimes, there's definitely worse. I just fucking hate when clearly shaded and cynnical people try to write optimistic positive stuff that they actually don't believe in. It's all Foster-Wallace's fault. Comedians are usually just straight up garbage human beings, and that's fine.
budgie 06.02.23	"would watch for alison brie tho i loved her in rental what a babe
90m80s 06.02.23	hangover soundtrack has danzig
budgie 06.02.23	i think zach galli is funny but i cannot remember a single moment from the hangover granted its been like 15 years
90m80s 06.02.23	baskets is an odd tv comedy with galifanikis
Ryus 06.02.23	best comedy tv shows i have seen besides the ones here are simpsons, king of the hill, peep show, xavier renegade angel, aqua teen hunger force and uhhhh idk some ohters too probably
budgie 06.02.23	i saw first season baskets and def some if not all of second season. tbh it got too heavy lol
90m80s 06.02.23	always sunny is funny
Ryus 06.02.23	oh yeah i like always sunny. but kinda like curb your enthusiasm, it became a bit too repetitive for me lol. not the kinda show i would watch from start to finish, but would gladly watch an episode here n there
climactic 06.02.23	“ I’ve only seen the first two seasons of The Sopranos, and heard each season is weaker than the previous” ??? real bad take, not true at all
90m80s 06.02.23	baskets goes into weird territory seems kinda similar to the mix of bored to death i couldnt get into curb your enthisiasm but im one of those rare ppl that never cared for seinfeld either and they seem part of the same mythology
climactic 06.02.23	rewatching sops and just watched the episode where carmela tells tony she’s in love with furio. that whole fight scene is some of the best acting ever in a tv show, forgot i was even watching a show
Ryus 06.02.23	yeah, gandolfini and falco are absolute masters.
TalonsOfFire 06.02.23	First two seasons of Baskets were great and so funny. Zach was by far the best part of the Hangover movies. Everyone on here has said it’s not true that Sopranos gets worse as it goes on so maybe I’ll keep watching. I just remember the characters got repetitive and came across one dimensional with how slimy and immoral they always were and not much was progressing. Was watching with a parent tho who wasn’t into that after a while so maybe that colored my outlook. It was good but don’t get why it’s considered so amazing, forgive my heresy. I thought The Wire was a bit more impressive from what I saw, tho I don’t think that’s one of the all time greatest shows either.
90m80s 06.02.23	wire kicks ass
Wildcardbitchesss 06.02.23	watch hannibal
Wildcardbitchesss 06.02.23	and sopranos doesn’t get worse. The last half of season 6 is the best television I’ve ever seen
Ryus 06.02.23	oh ya ive heard that’s good. gonna watch mad men next cuz my gf wants to see it
Wildcardbitchesss 06.02.23	Never seen a show evolve the way that one does. It starts pretty basic but it’s absolutely batshit by season 3
budgie 06.02.23	yall should watch hbo rome
DocSportello 06.02.23	sopranos the goat but succession hits hard
90m80s 06.02.23	twin peaks still better than sopranos tho
TalonsOfFire 06.02.23	Now Hannibal, that’s for sure one of the best shows ever made. I almost stopped watching a couple times and it made me want to throw up sometimes haha, but it’s amazing nonetheless.
DocSportello 06.02.23	ahhh still need to watch s3 of Hannibal. yeah it is not an easy watch and best enjoyed 'seasonally' but maybe the most engrossing psychological horror show narrative I've ever seen. twin peaks rules but narrative was never its strength
TalonsOfFire 06.02.23	Twin Peaks is one of the goat too, especially if you include s3/The Return. And FWWM is essential to The Return btw, and some of the scenes in The Missing Pieces are pretty important too. Succession ended really strong, that last season was quite impressive.
Ryus 06.02.23	if i wasnt including the return it'd probably land just behind deadwood/the sopranos but feels weird to compare those two to twin peaks at all. all i know is that TP is definitely the one that hit me the hardest
DocSportello 06.02.23	that last line of the return is such a wrecking ball absolutely harrowing stuff, all 18 hours of the season really, but also as sublime/nourishing as it is off the rails. makes me nostalgic for I can't believe it simpler times, when we had new eps of twin peaks to look forward to week by week 🥲
90m80s 06.02.23	"he left to make Wild at Heart which is easily his worst movie besides Dune." i dunno man dune is easy to hate on and waaaay better than pop opinion. i prob enjoy wild at heart and dune more than straight story jus cuz straight story has a 90s disney vibe that doesnt do it for me. i might even call both dune and wild at heart better than elephantman for simple matter of subjective viewing experience and entertainment value despite elephantman's appeal to pure cinema convention.
Ryus 06.02.23	wild at heart fucking slaps. rewatched it in theaters recently and i liked it even more the second time around
anode 10.02.23	why is david lynch so obsessed with slowcore
Wildcardbitchesss 10.02.23	“rewatching sops and just watched the episode where carmela tells tony she’s in love with furio. that whole fight scene is some of the best acting ever in a tv show, forgot i was even watching a show” Whitecaps is the best episode of the Sopranos and the greatest acting ever. Edie Falco and Gandolfini are just at the top of their game, especially in those two fight scenes. Just an absolutely incredible hour of television, and really showed that the Sopranos excelled as much a family drama as it did a crime show. I wish Gandolfini had hung on longer. Man should’ve been in a Scorsese or something. fucking goated actor. Just watched the one where Uncle June is looking for Johnny and at the end when Tony asks if he loves him, goddamn I started tearing up along with Junior.
Ryus 10.02.23	"why is david lynch so obsessed with slowcore" howso yeah gandolfini is acting royalty for his tony soprano formance. genius
anode 10.03.23	i just watched blue velvet and there was literally a bar in it called the slow club that played slowcore like that bar in twin peaks, well technically the song they play in the slow club isnt slowcore but theres other slowcore in the movie too
