06.20.13 | Where's Drama? |
Mongi123
06.20.13 | Needs some Breaking Bad, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones, 24, damn there's so much missing here. |
WeepingBanana
06.20.13 | lol ya academy don't u even tv
but really though... firefly 8D |
demigod!
06.20.13 | mad men |
theacademy
06.20.13 | Lost and BSG were great but vastly inferior to these
24 was above average for 2 seasons but doesn't even belong in the same conversation as these
Breaking Bad is quite good but it's still active so i cannot include it here. Mad Men is also good but i doubt it will approach these shows.
The wire and Oz i never watched. SoA and Sopranos seemed pretty boring but in all fairness, I only gave them a few episodes.

theacademy
06.20.13 | also: "damn there's so much missing here"
it's a top 5 list |
DominionMM1
06.20.13 | you definitely need to check out the sopranos and the wire |
theacademy
06.20.13 | i will look into them |
jtswope
06.20.13 | You're missing The Wire, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Oz, Homeland, The Walking Dead, The Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy, The Shield, Twin Peaks, House of Cards, and Six Feet Under. |
Mongi123
06.20.13 | Lost inferior to Buffy? HA! And I've been meaning to watch Homeland. Is it good? |
Yotimi
06.20.13 | Buffy is way better than Lost |
WeepingBanana
06.20.13 | i can't recommend the wire enough to anyone |
jtswope
06.20.13 | ^amazing show
Lost was the biggest disappointment in network tv |
Mongi123
06.20.13 | I disagree but to each's own. I enjoyed the characters a lot. Some great acting. |
avonbarksdale221
06.20.13 | Terrible list. |
olivianigma
06.20.13 | joss whedon though |
avonbarksdale221
06.20.13 | But The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game Of Thrones, Mad Men, Oz, Six Feet Under, Twin Peaks, Boardwalk Empire, The Shield etc. |
avonbarksdale221
06.20.13 | Any best TV show list that doesn't include The Wire is a terrible list. |
Yotimi
06.21.13 | Such an original thought. List is fine. Yeah the wire's great but these are too. Havent seen veronica mars though |
Underflow
06.21.13 | The Wire, The Sopranos, and Deadwood - the holy trinity of drama |
theacademy
06.21.13 | i tend to give the creative edge to broadcast dramas cuz they have to deal with so much more bullshit constraints... when you get a real gem (like the 5 shows above) it just feels like so much more of an achievement
boardwalk empire sucks.
also isn't the wire just another cop show? like im sure its fine but i mean cop shows are fucking played out. Also lol the Shield. |
theacademy
06.21.13 | United States of Tara (Showtime) was a great show tho. So was The Riches (which was on FX). |
Chortles
06.21.13 | firefly is 2 gudddd |
theacademy
06.21.13 | mmmhmmm |
Underflow
06.21.13 | "isn't the wire just another cop show"
lol |

06.21.13 | "also isn't the wire just another cop show? like im sure its fine but i mean cop shows are fucking played out"
Lol yeah it was just an hbo version of csi and ncis. |
Mongi123
06.21.13 | I'm not a fan of The Wire because you're just kind thrown into the middle of things. But to say that The Wire is just another cop show is absurd. Solid show just not my cup of tea. |
theacademy
06.22.13 | i didnt say it was a procedural i just said it was a show about cops |
theacademy
06.22.13 | ill get to it im sure |
tempest--
06.22.13 | ...i have not watched any of these |
Mongi123
06.22.13 | @theacademy Yea it's about cops, but it's also about the other side too. It's the most realistic interpretation of urban life. Trust me it has much more depth to it than *shudders* CSI. Not my kind of show, but I still why the show was so huge. |
