06.14.21 | Bro if Black Mirror is allowed then Twin Peaks > list |
Let
06.14.21 | At the very least twin peaks is the best melodrama of all time |
budgie
06.14.21 | how is hbo rome not on this list om g |
Ryus
06.14.21 | the walking dead is so bad |
Koris
06.14.21 | Game of Thrones would be on my list if the ending didn't utterly ruin the whole thing |
loveisamixtape
06.14.21 | disagree with this in every way. rome tho budgie really ? never heard anything about that one |
fogza
06.14.21 | It's weird how everyone was like 'the ending of GOT was the problem'. Like after the first season I felt 60% of the show was characters crossing terrain interspersed with random cruelty. The show was like a long Anton Corbijn video |
budgie
06.14.21 | i dont rly like tv shows and im a antiquity nerd i guess so bit of bias but yeah hbo rome is 1000x the greatest drama show ever (with great cast too ciaran hinds tobias menzies james purefoy) |
fogza
06.14.21 | This list is a bit heavy on organised crime stuff, like sometimes I find the genre a bit played out. |
Koris
06.14.21 | Well, I wouldn't say it was just the ending of GoT. A lot of issues were already popping up by the 5th season, and then the 7th season is when they became a lot more apparent. And then with the final season it all finally came crashing down |
loveisamixtape
06.14.21 | ok noted! i will look into that one. i'm more into docs and shows than i am movies fr. i'd def have twin peaks, sopranos, dark, chernobyl too prob on this list off the top of my head |
fogza
06.14.21 | I found season 1 - 4 pretty overrated too. Like it was an ok pulp show pretending to be deep. Aside from the last season I thought the whole thing only started to pay dividends in season 5 and 6 on the build up of misery |
loveisamixtape
06.14.21 | h8 GoT h8 walking dead. only thing on this list that i liked through and through was breaking bad but wouldn't have it in a top 15 list. i think i liked 2 black mirror episodes in their earlier days |
alamo
06.14.21 | i dont mean to cause any drama its just somehow it always gets me |
budgie
06.14.21 | i rly liked the black mirror episode with the BEEEEES |
budgie

fogza
06.14.21 | Budgie did you ever see the Swarm, with Michael Caine? It had lots of bees |
TheSupernatural
06.14.21 | Black Mirror is like 20% genius, 30% entertaining, 50% convoluted mess. It varies so much episode to episode.
Y'all need to check out Oz. The only prison drama that doesn't glorify prison in any way and gets to painful amounts of fucked up to show how backwards our American system is. Plays out closer to a Shakespearean tragedy than a regular TV drama.
Also gotta say House of Cards first season could be here. Everything after it sucked but that first season had some magic to it. |
fogza
06.14.21 | I liked the original British version of House of Cards, could never get into the American one |
Parallels
06.14.21 | 1 is like the only one that deserves to be on this list |
Parallels
06.14.21 | ...but then again id probably put shit like 24 and House.
Why do so many great dramas have amazing starts but fizzle out into shitty endings. Like X-Files and Dexter went to shit after 5 seasons.
Twin Peaks would be a solid top 10 though for sure. |
fogza
06.14.21 | I think we all agree on Twin Peaks, it's just so good |
JeetJeet
06.14.21 | No Madmen or The Americans? Or The Leftovers? |
budgie
06.14.21 | i still havent seen twin peeks
well i saw like half the first episode

06.14.21 | Yeah, I still need to check out Twin Peaks too. Always heard amazing things about it |
markjamie
06.14.21 | JeetJeet - Those three are the biggest omissions, plus Sopranos. GoT deserves to be there, but the last season was trash. |
DoofDoof
06.14.21 | Does Boardwalk Empire get better after the first season and a half because I found that very mid |

Watching Billions at the moment (just finished season 2) and for pure entertainment if might snatch 10th from Dark |

06.14.21 | "i dont rly like tv shows and im a antiquity nerd i guess so bit of bias but yeah hbo rome is 1000x the greatest drama show ever (with great cast too ciaran hinds tobias menzies james purefoy)"
are you deadass with this my guy? Rome was entertaining or neat at best. there were so many parts of that show which were stupid and awful and wretched, like Octavian sleeping with his sister. plus the fake story about the two guys Titus and the other one was also random and pointless
as far as acting goes,the guy who played caesar made him look like a fuddyduddy, Caesar oozed charisma, that guy brought none of that to the table. the best, by far, goes to the guy who played Antony. also the guy who played Brutus did a good job. Cicero was made to look like a dweeb and Cato's character was hamfisted at best.
the best modern series made about antiquity is spartacus. other than that nothing comes even close to "I, Claudius" which I should probably have on this top 10 to be honest |
FabiusPictor202
06.14.21 | "10. Dark"
Dark had a decent first season but then it got beyond retarded after that. plus it's so tragically mired in such a think melodramatic haze that it completely ruins the intrigue. they really cheese it up at the end of every episode with the slow melodramatic songs that play over the action with the main character inevitably stumbling upon some turning point in the plot. it became predictable and dull. |

06.14.21 | Deadwood is the only series I've seen that I found to be nearly on par with The Sopranos... shame its run got cut short (though the HBO film they made a few years back to wrap it up was great)
surprised True Detective is yet to be mentioned (hot take: S2 was the best)
hot take #2: Game of Thrones did go downhill, but not starting with the final season as most people would have you believe, but starting all the way back at like S3 |

out of all the cringe misunderstood takes about the show out there this one probably takes the cake tbh |
Ryus
06.14.21 | having the walking dead on this list basically invalidates any tv opinions u have tbh |

anarchistfish
06.14.21 | Yeah walking dead is lol bad. S1 was OK. I think I gave up after s3 |
SharpsRevenge
06.14.21 | Hannibal and Mr robot should be on the list |
anarchistfish
06.14.21 | Twd got way too bloated way too fast. S2 was a snoozefest. Handmaid's tale also has this problem. I think I gave up after s3 for that one but it was still higher quality than walking dead. Didn't help how depressing it was to watch |
anarchistfish
06.14.21 | S1 was short and sweet. After that it just dragged and dragged. Felt more like a serial than a Zombie thriller |
evilford
06.14.21 | Agreed with Mary re: twd. I was emotionally attached to a few characters after season 4 so I kept watching but it really went downhill after that |
heck
06.14.21 | where the fuck is Twin Peaks
|
SharpsRevenge
06.14.21 | I agree Mary that season 3 Hannibal was the worst season. I think the Italy arc was good but red dragon could have been done better. |

06.14.21 | 1. The Wire

06.14.21 | "watching a fat middle aged family man complain to his therapist about his mother was riveting"
one of those "I skip the melfi scenes" smoothbrains |
FabiusPictor202
06.14.21 | If only I had actually skipped them.
also, if anything deserved to be skipped it would have been the plots with his stupid teenage son and his annoying sister. I mean, did we really need another scene of his son grossly misbehaving and his selfish and sloppy behaviour and tony predictably doing nothing about it? or Tony's sisters endless infantile manipulation that didn't serve the plot in any way? (and also Tony predictably doing nothing about it) |
FabiusPictor202
06.14.21 | by the way, the ending rivals GoT for worst endings to a series of all time. whoever wrote that thought they were going to be hailed as an avaunt-guarde genius when instead the ending was weird and terrible. (and also lazy and not creative)
this leads me to my last point which is that the writing is overrated. Essentially it boils down to Tony meets character. character becomes problem for Tony. Tony wacks character. oh and not to mention all the plots suddenly introduced just to disappear as suddenly as them came (Melfi's rape comes to mind). The strength of the show was its wonderful acting and character relationships (besides his stupid son and his useless sister), and largely the strengths overcame the weaknesses, but this is hardly the legendary show its made out to be |
Slugboiiii
06.14.21 | The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, that's all you need |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.14.21 | Twin Peaks and The Americans are my top two. If we count streaming stuff, then The Crown and every House of Cards season except the last one are awesome as well
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are essential too
Dark's great but overrated tbh |
heck
06.14.21 | Twin Peaks, The Wire, and Fargo for me
GoT and Walking Dead don't belong on any list with the word "best" in its title though, unless it's followed by the word "dissapointments". |
DominionMM1
06.15.21 | mad men and the sopranos are better than most everything on this list |
