Buccaneer: Which Show To Watch First?

Buccaneer 01.03.13	btw, Ive seen Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and Community
omnipanzer 01.03.13	Well taking into account that some of them tend to taper off in later seasons I would go with: 3 1 7 8 5 7 9 10 4 2 6
InfamousGrouse 01.03.13	I'd go with either The Wire or Boardwalk Empire. Also, props for 1.
MO 01.03.13	4
Minus. 01.03.13	Madmen and The Walking Dead are the best on this list. You need to watch American Horror Story also.
omnipanzer 01.03.13	Some of the placement is due to brevity of series by comparison. Sopranos' for example you should watch over boardwalk as BW is an imitation but Sopranos is very involved and has a lot of really slow points that pay off after a good bit of time. If I remember correctly there is like a whole season that drags but makes up for it in like the last two or three episodes. I watched it as it was on so it's been a really long time. P&R and 30 Rock are great series wit ha lot of well written 22min episodes but they have many seasons. Some of these are going to be real time investments but totally worth it in the end. The Wire Mad Men and Dexter I just remember always being really excited to see what would happen next.
Minus. 01.03.13	Oh and Arrested Development is the tits
omnipanzer 01.03.13	Oh and Deadwood is as good if not better than all of these imho.
Buccaneer 01.03.13	Yeah, that's why I struggled picking out a series to watch first. I suppose Arrested Development would be the most ideal as I could probably finish it really quickly. Also, with the sitcoms, I could just watch them alongside the heavy dramas. I just cant decide which drama to invest in first. Cheers for the input so far though guys, I appreciate it Also, I havent heard much about American Horror Story, I'll look into it
Blaizend 01.03.13	Oh and Deadwood is as good if not better than all of these imho. [2] Apart from 4.
Buccaneer 01.03.13	Completely forgot about Deadwood as well. Also, Band of Brothers
omnipanzer 01.03.13	^ BoB is great and a short series.
henryChinaski 01.03.13	Sons of Anarchy sucks.
BigPleb 01.03.13	Dexter
omnipanzer 01.03.13	" suppose Arrested Development would be the most ideal as I could probably finish it really quickly." Yes, It is instantly rewarding, you'll get through it quickly and you will appreciate it for years to come.
Adabelle 01.03.13	If you pick Dexter you can watch seasons 1+2 and then watch something else
Wolfhorde 01.03.13	Arrested Development was sweet, I never really understood why it got cancelled so prematurely though it seemed to be pretty popular.
omnipanzer 01.03.13	It wasn't Wolfy, They got popular way to late. They probably had good enough ratings to stay on a cable channel but they were on a network.
Minus. 01.03.13	Arrested Development was sweet, I never really understood why it got cancelled so prematurely though it seemed to be pretty popular. Well, good news. They just made a new season that will be exclusively on Netflix coming out this year.
Wolfhorde 01.03.13	"Well, good news. They just made a new season that will be exclusively on Netflix coming out this year." Seriously? That's awesome! "It wasn't Wolfy, They got popular way to late. They probably had good enough ratings to stay on a cable channel but they were on a network. " That sucks hard. I'd rather have Arrested Development than shit like BBT.
DrMaximus 01.03.13	Arrested Development is fucking awesome. Walking Dead this season has also been pretty sweet.
Acrosstheshield13 01.03.13	Dexter, Walking Dead..rest.
Spare 01.03.13	8, then 3491 and 10
anarchistfish 01.03.13	I started watching breaking bad less than a couple of weeks ago and I'm on series 3 now. blown my expectations to pieces
InfamousGrouse 01.03.13	the finale of BB season 3 is absolutely heart-pounding
lyzakthellama 01.03.13	Ya the new season of Arrested Development starts on May 24th i think
dimsim3478 01.03.13	Finish with Arrested Development because it blows everything else out of the water.
paxman 01.03.13	Arrested Development. Why is this even a question
theacademy 01.03.13	arrested development no question why are you still here and not watching arrested development yet
paxman 01.03.13	arrested development no question why are you still here and not watching arrested development yet [2]
paxman 01.03.13	Arrested Development. Why is this even a question [2]

MassiveAttack 01.03.13	Arrested Development, Dexter, Walking Dead, then whatever. Other than Season 3, I absolutely loved Dexter. The last season that ended recently was fairly solid as well. Walking Dead is pure class and Arrested Development is all kinds unique for a comedy show. Running jokes throughout the entire series make it one of the best shows of its decade, plus they've been renewed for a new season this year that will be on Netflix!
paxman 01.03.13	You see, Arrested Development is clearly the best.
paxman 01.03.13	This^
paxman 01.03.13	Ya Jon Hamm is so hot
wabbit 01.03.13	louie
WeepingBanana 01.03.13	Anyone who doesn't automatically say the wire either hasn't seen the wire or is an idiot Arrested development is also an acceptable answer
paxman 01.03.13	Goddamnit Louie is the best show ever
paxman 01.03.13	I saw The Wire. And I recommend Arrested Development.
MassiveAttack 01.03.13	Louie is hilarious, underrated show.
omnipanzer 01.03.13	Lucky Louie then Louie!
DominionMM1 01.03.13	4 (because it's the greatest tv drama ever made), then 8, then 3, then 1, then the rest
wabbit 01.03.13	the second season of Louie makes arrested development look like fucking mike and molly.
Buccaneer 01.03.13	Well, I'm now certain which show to start off with (AD), still not 100% sure which drama to watch afterwards though, though Im leaning towards Mad Men or The Wire. As people have commented before, the dramas require quite an investment, hence why im so unsure. Again, thanks for the help bros
omnipanzer 01.03.13	Mad Men or The Wire You'll be happy with either and I'm sure you will eventually watch both.
DominionMM1 01.03.13	go with 4 or 8. with those, you can watch the entire series without having to wait.
MassiveAttack 01.03.13	Well, Dexter is still ongoing and Mad Men. Sopranos, The Wire are over and done with. Might as well start with a drama that has concluded.
keyokeyo 01.03.13	The Sopranos and The Wire are my two favorite TV series of all time. A lot of my friends have said Sons of Anarchy is the absolute shit though.
DominionMM1 01.03.13	and considering the influence it had on all these other dramas, the sopranos would be the place to start.
Buccaneer 01.03.13	After AD, I'll start with The Wire then. Cheers bros
FromDaHood 01.03.13	Arrested Development is like 50 episodes. Not a big commitment and it'll take you like 5 episodes to realize if you like it or not.
demigod! 01.03.13	Mad Men
DominionMM1 01.03.13	and you should probably get around to watching breaking bad at some point.
Buccaneer 01.03.13	Dont worry, Ive already seen Breaking Bad
Trebor. 01.03.13	Arrested Development is a lot shorter than those hour long dramas so might as well start there 30 Rock too considering only the first 2 seasons are worth watching
demigod! 01.03.13	oh i didnt see AD on the list, yeah definitely that and every episode of 30 Rock ive seen has been really boring and unfunny
Trebor. 01.03.13	Every character on 30 Rock became an archetype, rehashing the same jokes over and over starting with the 3rd season and it baffles me how the show kept winning so many emmys
YankeeDudel 01.03.13	Easily the Sopranos. Boardwalk Empire was kind of trying for the same thing and started off cool but quickly became a jumbled mess of shit.
bakkermaarten007 01.03.13	Dexter. And you should watch The Shield too, awesome show.
Buccaneer 01.06.13	Havent been able to watch anything these past few days due to assignments and shit, but recently just started watching Arrested Development. I can sense an impending marathon run in the near future...
tragic.details 01.06.13	def Arrested Development, especially with the new season starting up in a few months..honestly, though, I see a lot of hate for Sons of Anarchy. I've seen the show and from it's start and i don't get the hate. It's first two seasons were kind meeehhh, mostly because the main character was too easy to hate. It's really built itself up to be something fairly great, especially this most recent season...it obviously doesn't stand on the same ground as other dramas, but it's worth watching.
Buccaneer 01.07.13	Yeah, judging from the feedback, Ive pretty much decided to forget about Sons of Anarchy for the time being. Seems stupid picking it over the other dramas
Buzzkillr 01.07.13	none of the above, watch Oz
Buzzkillr 01.07.13	but yeah, all the shows you posted are good except for Sons of Anarchy. Only the first 2 seasons of Dexter are good, rest is shit. 30 rock is okay, first few seasons are pretty funny, haven't seen it since season 3 but Parks and Recreation is funnier.
mindleviticus 01.07.13	watch anime
Buzzkillr 01.07.13	oh yeah, and def check out Band of Brothers and Firefly.
Buccaneer 01.07.13	yeah, Im gonna give BoB a shot after AD, considering it's short. I'm halfway through Firefly, just waiting for my flatmate to get back from holiday, as we watch it together. Never heard of Oz though.. And with anime, never realy felt compelled to check it out. My friend keeps pestering me about Death Note though, and he does make it sound tempting
Buzzkillr 01.07.13	Oz is an hbo show from the late 90s that describes life in a prison facility. very dark and gritty. really great show, reminds me a lot of the Wire which is like my favorite show ever
diogoserafim 01.07.13	Mad Men, The Wire, Dexter 1 and 4 seasons :D
Buccaneer 01.26.13	Just wanna revive this in order to say I've just finished Arrested Development. Where has this show been all my life?
DominionMM1 01.26.13	yeah ad rules. can't wait for the new episodes.
demigod! 01.26.13	best show ever? maybe. it's so hilarious.
Ignimbrite 01.26.13	Arrested Development Arrested Development Arrested Development Arrested Development Arrested Development Arrested Development Arrested Development Arrested Development
Ignimbrite 01.26.13	"Just wanna revive this in order to say I've just finished Arrested Development. Where has this show been all my life?" nvm
demigod! 01.26.13	lol its ok I get excited about AD too
70sPriestIsBetter 01.26.13	3 rules, both the album and the show
