Well, you’re like a toddler so probably. And you included single seasons of shows with multiple seasons, which is just stupid. I’ll include miniseries for shits and giggles.
1. The Wire
2. Mad Men
3. The Sopranos
4. Black Sails
5. Chernobyl (miniseries)
6. The Americans
7. Boardwalk Empire
8. Downton Abbey
9. Justified
10. Freaks and Geeks
(Game of Thrones just laid it down too hard in the last couple of seasons).
*I’ve not seen Breaking Bad in its entirety. So didn’t feel fair ranking it.

I’ve already given up on your top 10 here. Now I can’t trust your stance on much anymore. Majority woman don’t have great taste in tv shows or movies.

If Black Sails made you dip out, then I’m right. You don’t know shite about well written/acted TV shows.

We've got small kids so we get interrupted a lot. But we also knew it hadn't been nearly 2 hours, so we were curious how much was left to wrap up the loose ends

Pretty good list. I don't think miniseries and full series should be on the same list, but if they are Band of Brothers should be on every list. Chernobnyl as well.
1. The Sopranos - kicked off the new Golden Age, so I give it the nod over the rest.
2. The Wire
3. Breaking Bad - I absolutely loved Mad Men, so this was a tough one, but the rewatchability and peak eps favor BB.
4. Mad Men
5-10 for me will have The Americans, Deadwood, Boardwalk, Seinfeld, Lost, and maybe Mindhunter. GoT as an HM even though they fricked up S8 so badly.
Single season/miniseries would be a fun list on it's own:
BoB, Chernobnyl, Freaks and Geeks, Firefly, True Detective S1, Homeland S1, Bloodline S1, Stranger Things S1, The Pacific, Prison Break S1, Westworld S1, Dexter S1 or S4, Fargo S1 or S2, etc.

Yeah if we start really including miniseries, John Adams, Band of Brothers, Mare of Eastown are going to be up there for me.
Shogun as a single season is incredible but they’re doing a second. Same with Task.

You have some bad choices for your top 10. I definitely won’t be seeking out your recommendations.

I don't think she really gives a shite
Posted on 1/3/26 at 7:32 pm to BluegrassBelle
Oh shite, forgot about Shogun. That goes in the single season for sure and maybe series depending on two. Although without the beauty Mariko we'll see how much it drops off

I agree with the wire being #1

Kali said they were sick from her blood when she had her escape attempt. They had probably died already and if not, they had to go anyways or else nothing would have changed.

What about Linda Hamilton and her army? We never see them again. wtf happened to them after El “left”?
You really think the military had a reason to stick around after the upside down was destroyed, the rips were gone, and they saw El “die” in the Upside Down that is now gone?

Finally finished season 5. It was probably the worst of all 5 seasons. It may be better than season 2.
What sucked:
- The actor that played Will is just awful. Every line is so forced and unbelievable
- Will's character all of a sudden getting these powers and mastering them almost immediately is dumb. It took El quite a long time to be able to do what she can, yet Will understands how to do about as much as she can within a few days.
- The toxic air in the upside down is all of a sudden no big deal? They even mention it a couple times like it is still a concern, but they all spend so much time down there with no issues.
- Nancy is all of a sudden some badass military girl and a marksman? WTF? How?
- The fight with Linda Hamilton was ridiculous
- The final battle was just kinda boring
- Last episode entirely too long
- Lots of plot holes, like the gang killing all those military guys to get to the upside down with the truck, and facing no consequences after they return
The good?
- Dipshit Derrick was pretty funny. That kid played the part perfect.
- Soundtrack was good
- I felt that they got the late 80's to 90's changes in hair, fashion correct.

I think he's had two alters since Lane83 and I'm sure he has another, but imagine hating on someone for liking Black Sails and simping for Stranger Things
Black Sails is 10x the show Stranger Things is.
