(Season 1 of TD of course) Which do you like better? Apples and oranges maybe? But TD season one is the best show EVER in my opinion. Thoughts?

It could easily be the best single season of television ever.

are you asking people to pick between a show that ran for 8 episodes vs one that went for five seasons?


Breaking Bad is the superior show, by the way

Season 1 has an argument. The middle of that season was perfection.

I disagree. It did not end well enough to justify that.

Like I said ......Apples and oranges?....I'm just referring to how well done the shows are. I think TD is unbelievable "pound for pound" lol....just my opinion. I could side with Breaking Bad too

First off, you can't compare a single season show to an entire series

Second, season 1 of TD is not best show ever, but it was awesome. Last couple episodes knocked it down a notch imo

Better than Season 4 of Breaking Bad?

Better than Season 5 of Mad Men?

True Detective's ending killed it. Because there's no payoff to the interesting aspects of the show, i cant rewatch it.

True Detective S1 is great, but not the GOAT. However, the long tracking scene in episode 4 is definitely on the short list of greatness.

I liked season 1 of TD more than BB. Just way more interesting.

So, we are eliminating half of one show and none of the other...I think you've answered your own question

I just watched it 2 times while on a very long trip, and I'll agree. It was brilliant as hell up to the ending, and then finished with something of a thud. It was a great ride though. And I am hard pressed to name a better season. Maybe Fargo 2 but it's close.
