I'm watching The Wire right now. When I'm finished, rank these shows that I should watch in order.

Sopranos
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Suits

These four shows are the consensus amongst my friends that I need to watch.

I've never seen Suits, so I can't judge. Sopranos is probably better than Breaking Bad, but BB will serve as a good break between the two shows. The other plus is that depending on how quickly you watch them you could theoretically finish up with the first 4.5 seasons of BB in time to catch the second half of season 5 as it airs.

I'd actually take a different route here. I think most things will pale in comparison to how good the Wire is.

I'd say

Suits (fun and lighter)
Breaking Bad
Sopranos
Mad Men

I'd also offer up The Shield if you haven't seen it.

Breaking Bad

Sopranos

Mad Men

(But they're really too close to call.)

I haven't seen Suits, but I'm sure it is fine.

If you want further recommendations and haven't seen The Shield or The Wire, either of them above BB, Sopranos and MM, although all 5 are excellent.

I'm in a similar situation. I was about to start watching The Wire and I also have not seen Sopranos or Mad Men (I have seen breaking bad and it's fricking awesome show).

So should I start the wire, sopranos, or mad men first?

It's really all about individual tastes. Mad Men is the most thought provoking of all 4, with slot of what makes it so good being beneath the surface. That being said if you have trouble getting into any of the 4 it'll be Mad Men. Suits is awesome but it's a much different category of show than the other 3 and the wire. The other 4 are consensus best tv dramas of all time. Breaking Bad and sopranos pretty much comes down to what premise strikes you as more interesting. Personally I'd give a slight edge to breaking bad for originality, but sopranos is on hbo which means more cursing, violence, nudity.

Side note: mad men would've been legendary on hbo

Thanks for the feedback.

I also came across Dexter. Is this worth the watch? Does it stack up to the others?

I guess if you want to watch them in order of the best, you'd have to go:

Sopranos
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Suits

Very few lists would I have Breaking Bad lower than first.
