Leftovers

Despite the critical acclaim, one of the best shows few people have ever seen. I guess it was too dark and weird for mainstream consumption. And people probably thought they were going to get Lost 2.0 from Lindelof.

Still belongs on this list.

Just a small suggestion... make the show have to get a couple votes before you put it on there.

Not hating on who voted for them, but Suits and Burn notice are not "must see tv"

added a *controversial pick to those

maybe everything with more than 1 vote can go into List A and those with only 1 vote go into List B.

must see = 10 votes. at least 5

tier B = 3-5

tier c = 2 or less

Dot it. make it tuff to be must see.


Peaky Blinders
The Newsroom
Barry
GOT (haters gonna hate but its still one of the best shows of all time)
The Leftovers
The Knick (on of the rarely talked about canceled to early tragedies. if it was on HBO it would have killed it)
Deadwood
Sherlock
Luther
Freaks and Geeks
The Office
Parks and Rec
Westworld
Hell on Wheels
Chernobyl
Godless

There are so many more but im drawing a blank

i'm definitely up for doing this if this thread gains enough traction.

i like the tier-idea. gives everyone a good way to work their way from Best to Worst.

Your tier 3 has absolute shite in it next to shows like The Sopranos. And you have Game of Thrones, which had an abysmal final 2 seasons in Tier 1. That should disqualify it.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree.

Tier 1 should have no bad seasons.


Tier 1
- Breaking Bad
- The Wire
- Band of Brothers

Tier 2
- The Americans
- Mad Men
- The Sopranos
- Seinfeld
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- Game of Thrones

based on people in this thread only. ivy's suggestion was 3 or more votes move it to Tier 1 (including mine in the OP).

#dontshootthemessenger

and most stuff at the moment only has 1 vote since this is just getting rolling so those will start to bubble up naturally.

this gets tricky, then. do you ignore GREAT seasons of a show because of SHITTY seasons? does 1 bad season automatically disqualify a show?

eta also edited thread title since this may have legs

From Tier 1, yes.

Not a bad season. It might not be as fantastic and perfect as the others, but its still good. I think Season 4 set such a ridiculous bar that season 5 lets people down. It is nothing like GoT last season or anything like that.

Not great <> Bad

Bad is Dexter's last season. Bad is GoT's last season.

shite like that. Season 5 of The Wire is still pretty decent.

How do you not have Black Sails in your list?

Most shows hit the wall at a point.

Oz has 3 and a half good seasons. The back half of season 4 through the end sucked. Doesn’t diminish the quality of those first few seasons.

The Last Kingdom.

Theres a good bit of us on here that really enjoy the show. Season 4 should be on its way to Netflix soon, the first 3 were fantastic.
