Good list, but not the order I would put them in. Having John Oliver at #8 is too early for that spot. Also, you have to have Dream On and Carnivale in the top 20.

And Deadwood one spot below the Limey frick. Never change, HBO.

Go ahead and make fun of me, but Sex and The City is top 10. It doesn't get the love because it is made for females. Having watched 90% of it while trying to seduce my now wife, I really thought it was a great show (the movies sucked balls.).

I saw Boardwalk Empire 20th behind Oz, Sex and the City, and Girls and I was immediately done with this list.

True Detective is overrated IMO. On that list, and on this board. It's not bad, but it's not as good as it's cracked up to be. It's a season-long CSI case with decent acting, a better script, and more adult content.

In my opinion, Rome being missing from the top 20 immediately invalidates this list.

It's made worse by dropping Band of Brothers.

I'd switch Sopranos and the Wire, Curb and Six Feet Under, and Boardwalk and Girls.

Boardwalk Empire is vastly underrated on that list.

Girls before Boardwalk?!?!

I'm surprised they have Last Week so high and Real Time completely absent.

The list kinda sucks minus the top few being correct.....

Not a fan of including shows that are still airing.

The Wire
The Sopranos
Six Feet Under

Gold standard for HBO original series.
