Ok Mario opened the door with Lost ... "The Wire" is quite simply, though I will entertain and quickly refute any counter-arguments, the best television program ever produced. At this point I think I may have watched the entire series between 4 or 5 times. Hmmm might be time to watch that again soon. Oh yeah, "Firefly" was awesome. Mad Men is phenomenal.



The Wire is number 2 for me behind Breaking Bad. The Wire is amazing how everything comes together and it really makes you think, but it's not quite as an enjoyable watch if that makes sense. Either way, it's really close.

I still need to watch Mad Men.

spartacus(not sure if they're continuing)
game of thrones

No one mentioned "The Killing" yet? One of my all time favorites.

The show that made me laugh me most is "It's always sunny in Philapelphia" by far. I guess it depends on your kind of humor, I had to get used to it for a season or two, but after that it cracked me up all the time.

Depends if you mean the American or the Swedish version of The Killing. The Swedish one was boss!

I only made it half way through the first season of mad men and it seems like your typical family drama, plus none of the characters seemed very interesting. Does it get any different later on?

I just recently finished the 2 seasons of The Killing. I liked it, but I don't think it's close to getting in my top 5.

I also love It's Always Sunny. Probably my favorite comedy of all-time.

Just started Deadwood....looks very promising.

I recently started Boardwalk Empire and I've heard it's slow so I'm giving it a chance.

I've heard good things about Deadwood and Rome and might try them at some point.

@zach, what is your 3-5 on your list?

How is everyone such fans of walking dead? That show is some of the worst trash ever put on television.

Also, I have been in China for 8 months have no idea what has been on TV since the end of last year. FML I miss America.

I would say probably Game of Thrones and Dexter are in there. I'm not sure what else.

I liked Boardwalk Empire a lot once it got going. Stick with it imo. I also enjoyed Rome, it was good not great. Personally, I would probably watch Deadwood first. Even though I've only watched 3 episodes I can tell it's likely going to be very good.

I really want to want to try Mad Men at some point, but every time I want to start a new show, I just read the plot and think it sounds kind of boring. And some of the comments on here aren't really encouraging...

Never seen it, but everyone keep saying that it's amazing. Personally, I'm not a fan of zombie shows/movies.

Oh yea, I've been meaning to watch Dexter too. That's on Netflix streaming right?

So Boardwalk Empire & Dexter, then Deadwood and maybe Rome.

Oh, and I've heard True Blood is good?

Sounds like a plan. I can't really comment on True Blood as I don't really like vampire movies/shows either.

Btw, did anyone ever watch Rome on HBO? It seems like that could be interesting as well.



Watch it. It's great.

It runs from the period of war between Julius Caesar and Cassius, through to Augustus Caesar vs Mark Antony & Cleopatra. Great chunk of history, delivered as only HBO can.
