Hell on Wheels should 100% be included on this list. I was surprised with how much I liked it.

Any love for Hatfields & Mccoys? Idk if we're including mini-series

I personally wasnt a fan and i love westerns. I didnt hate it but it was hard to finish.


CAD a few more votes from me

- BLACK SAILS
- Band of Brothers
- Friday Night Lights. Season two was a hot mess but its not enough to stop somebody from watching it
- The Wire
- Vikings (S1-4). Was going to be an all time great show but it dropped off drastically when a certain character, no spoilers, died. But nobody should go without watching the 1st 4 seasons.

*edit*
- The Wire

The Sopranos is required Tier 1 viewing

More people need to see Dark. I think it's Tier 2 material.

It’s the very top of tier 1. And if Breaking Bad gets to be tier 1 then The Wire has to be in tier 1.

I mean, I have never watched The Wire, but season five is like 96% on RT in both audience and critic score. It cant be THAT bad..

If you have SW Rebels in tier 3, you should add TCW in there as well. Also, I would add Veep and put it into tier 2

how many spin-offs are there?

- clone wars six-episode experiment
- clone wars series
- rebels?

would you break all 3 out separately? seems like there were various cartoonists/animators who did the original series before it turned into a full-on tv series.

not sure about veep in tier2. i tried watching a few episodes and was bored and i like julie-louis dreyfus...

but that reminds me 2 we have left out:
- always sunny
- curb

i'll add those now.

I loved Veep, I watched it and the office close together all the way through and much prefer Veep lol. Season 1 is the worst and gets way better from there. Yea I’d separate Rebels and TCW just bc of differing time frames and ownership
