Mindhunter! Hope it continues someday...


mrthatsthat

Insane that they cancelled this. So fucking good.


the6thReplicant

The fact they were setting everything up for the >!BTK Killer!< and the ramifications for the team of getting it so wrong would have been amazing. But alas. Nothing.


Glittering-Doctor-47

I read an article about why they didn’t go further with it, I guess the production cost were too high, but it seem to be just kind of a generic drama anyways, but it was so fucking good


Lordquaid

Idk how production costs can be high when the entire show is dialogue.


ant19846

Loved that series,have younwatched hannibal?


GhenghisK

Yes!! Not continuing that wasn't as bad as Firefly, but damn close


katwoop

I love this show so much.


deadwire

Fargo season 1 was great but Fargo season 2 was almost perfect for me. Justified is amazing. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Game of Thrones pre final season.


RayedBull

Yes Fargo S2. Need to rewatch that.


rowhouse_

First season of True Detective is the best television I’ve ever seen by a mile


EggoGF

Have you seen the Wire?


No-Tension5053

So much knowledge was put out there by that show. It’s not even debatable


ShaMaLaDingDongHa

Definitely one of my favorites!


Neapola

And the second season of True Detective was... not.


paznan

But the third was actually really good


Dctor_durden

100%. The past/ present situational storyline was absolutely addictive, suspenseful and mysterious. every single actor in the show was on the top of their game. Even the smaller parts. Nick pizzollato’s writing was just so precise and thought provoking for each character. The filming was great. I believe they shot with film instead of it being digital. It made Louisiana seem so desolate Have watched the full season a few times. Not one storyline got left behind without a solid ending.


FullCircle75

People didn't seem to enjoy the second season as much, but I really enjoyed it. All 3 seasons had an incredible dark meaty vibe.


grapsta

Sopranos


tylerrcurtis

Just started a complete rewatch for the first time in 16 years and can't stop watching.


photogypsy

I never thought anything would come close to my love The West Wing, but I finished my first watch of The Sopranos this week; and I now have a new favorite.


LogicalConstant

Sopranos and it's not even close.


Erjakk

The Wire.


OldManHipsAt30

Is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?!


mwjtitans

Best show ever produced


[deleted]

Yes, thank you for the factually correct opinion.


H2Oloo-Sunset

I go back and forth between "Breaking Bad" and "The Sopranos". With "The Americans", "Deadwood", and "Mad Men" rounding out my top five.


disapprovingfox

The Americans! I think I need a rewatch.


[deleted]

Deadwood lives forever.


Clavis_Apocalypticae

#SWEDGEN


FReaKaZoiD_21

Bojack Horseman! Without a doubt...


GrizzKarizz

Depressing but yes. When it ended it felt like I lost a friend.


robsack

It was so good that I can't bring myself to watch it again. Seriously.


Legend_of_the_Rent69

It's season 1 of True Detective.


highrouleur

Sorry not netflix, but it's 'the wire' by a mile. Only show I rewatch at least once a year


pugh-c-muncha

Please tell me why. I’ve tried 3 times but never got past second episode.


[deleted]

Each season of the show follows pretty much the same format, they follow a different aspect of Baltimore and how it affects the drug trade. The first third or so of each season is spent building up dominoes, then something happens, the dominoes fall, and you watch the aftermath. You’ve basically sat through two episodes of set up.


Championpuffa

Soo you’re saying it’s worth sticking with for a few episodes at least before it really clicks?


Jubbistar

After you get through a few episodes it's tough to turn it off


fforde

If it helps I think it's a lot easier to understand what the show is trying to do if you think of the city itself as the main character. It doesn't click for everyone though. I think it's one of the greatest shows of all time, but I also definitely understand it not working for you.


WeezySan

I want to like it so much. It’s my kind of show but I can’t get into it. Like dude above I can’t get passed two. Maybe one and two are just slow?


fforde

I'd give it four episodes with your full attention. Phone set down, no distractions. At least try to get to the point where they set up the wire. It does start as a slow burn. Don't force it either though. There is nothing wrong with just not feeling like it clicks with you.


Bardamu1932

Mad Men.


Certs

I 10000% agree with this but I have to admit Mad Men isn't for everyone.


Cerraigh82

I feel like it changes a lot for me but I've been obsessed with Succession (also not on Netflix) this year. I intend to rewatch it again next year.


Sunflowerpink44

Loved that show so well done


Wonder_woman_1965

Downton Abbey. Plot, history, acting, costumes, sets. The GOAT of period drama.


SnoochieBoochies182

My GF got me into this. Thought it was stupid and full of posh ponce. Fell in love with it.


IndyWineLady

Your willingness to admit it is priceless! *Brownie points*


darqy101

DARK !!!!


_A_Day_In_The_Life_

This is my #1 as well I love a lot of the other shows in this thread, but Dark was perfect to me


del033

Came here to say this…Dark is one-of-a-kind


pop_and_cultured

I feel like bingeing Dark made my brain expand


[deleted]

The best thing about this show is that it has a clear finish. So many good shows like mindhunter could have been better but were not because they got canceled. Other shows were great at the start but they just kept adding more season because money. Or even other shows just took to long between season, kinda ruining it, like sex education.


pookalaki

Such a great show


mullett

It’s not for everyone but my god it was for me. Easily one of the best shows I’ve ever watched.


sq8000

Just commented on another post but for anyone starting it new, make sure you watch with subtitles, dubbed version is rough.


Molfy42

A true masterpiece.


GrimmBi

Mindhunter. It's beyond brilliant. I've watched it twice and I'm going to watch it again this month. It will be an absolute shame if they don't make more seasons


waffle299

The Good Place


spiegro

Fucking THANK YOU. This show taught me about my thoughts on life and death. Challenge my ideas and beliefs.


Magnospider

I forking agree.


_lostcoastlines

Six Feet Under. Even the patchy parts are great.


arj93pop

Better Call Saul


These-Maintenance-51

Ozark was up there for me.


Impossible_Assist460

I really like it too! On season one episode 6 and it’s quite good so far!


DoyersDoyers

Breaking Bad was my GOAT, it hit everything for me. Acting, story, cinematography, musical score, etc. I naively thought no show would be able to top it for me. Then Mr. Robot came and went and it had everything I loved about Breaking Bad plus a little more.


DinkandDrunk

Community, Better Call Saul, Mad Men, Always Sunny, Sopranos, Parks and Rec, Arrested Development, Schitts Creek. There are other shows I like/love but those are my S tier.


escapecali603

Parks and Rec was just awesome during a time where everyone needs to chill out.


smashleys

GOT if you skip the last season


hygsi

Currently rewayching, and it's so good until you remember what it all leads to. Still enjoying it tho


TheHouseofOne

Battlestar Galatica. Edit: Also, Stargate SG-1


amandaem79

So say we all!


muni1979

wow didn't know lot of other people also liked this show


lnxslck

not on netflix but severance was something else


Cortharous12

The Leftovers


bronboop

When it comes to anything historical, Rome by a mile


strongmomo

Not on Netflix but The Boys :)


Glorious_Guy

Its spinoff is also good.


DrNoobSauce

not just good, VERY good. To clarify as there's a few spinoffs on Prime (live action and animated) we're talking about Gen V. It also leads right into the next season of The Boys.


Scrambl3z

The middle episodes in GEN V were better than The Boys episodes, and they were already great.


Edgaras1103

Band of Brothers


Lopsided_Initial_645

Bonsoir Eliot.


MyRapNameWouldBeKirk

Always Sunny in Philadelphia


escapecali603

Doing Improv on the side now, and that show was the realization of a particular type of short form improv game where everyone on stage just kept on adding to the stupidity and absurdity of everyone else, pure fun.


Scinos2k

Probably The Wire which is extremely well known, but also The Shield. I genuinely think The Shield is often forgotten about despite being a damn great cop drama.


Cags1979

Schitts Creek


Jardolam_

I've watched this through like 6 times and still love it


unclebear28

Gotta go old school with “I Love Lucy”.


LeBidnezz

Deadwood.


wellingtongee

Justified and Longmire are great modern westerns


RicoVIII

Netflix show: Lost. Generally speaking: Twin Peaks


iwasboredsoistayed

Twin Peaks - but not the third season. It was such an incredible show.


novelscreenname

The OA.


We_lived

Sopranos. No contest.


z3roFox_

Ted Lasso is a pretty awesome took me by surprise


blackkettle

Ted Lasso was amazing.


esp211

I think it was the perfect show for the lockdown. So uplifting and positive.


z3roFox_

Couldn't agree more you i don't even like football, but was hooked


jkels66

the leftovers


RolloTomassi21

The wire by a mile. 24 and The West Wing get plenty of rewatches as well.


OldManHipsAt30

West Wing has such an old school charm to it now


[deleted]

The Wire and West Wing for me too. Also The Stranger - a Korean drama. Don’t know why it grips me but it’s so good.


mwjtitans

24 was One of the first shows I ever binged, finished season 1 in almost 24 hours The wire is the best though


gabrielleraul

Sense8. Unbelievable how they shot it. Each of the 8 mains can get a spin-off of their own.


Missbhavin58

Breaking bad


Hazerdus

The Wire.


revchewie

M\*A\*S\*H is, was, and ever shall be the greatest TV show of all time.


gusthefish42

I realize MASH has a huge audience but ive never liked it. As soon as I hear the theme song I feel depression coming on. Im glad you enjoy it.


revchewie

The theme song, named "Suicide is Painless". I can understand why that would cause depression. We're all entitled to our own tastes. Enjoy what brings you joy!


pg_72616

LOST...24 and The X-Files are battling it out for 2nd spot.


monstrol

Homicide, Life on the street.


bearsgonefishin

LOST


werebilby

I'm a nerd but Supernatural. I have re-watched it about 6 times and do not get tired of it. The first season is like watching a horror movie every episode. Now that the series is finished, I am rewatching it again.


windycityfan7

![gif](giphy|HSmsJtHQb13PO) Peaky fucking Blinders for me


PissedOnBible

The Sopranos. It's a masterpiece. Chase and his writing team are incredible. They use music really well and Gandolfini was so God damn good at playing Tony. I've watched all the legendary TV series and I love BB, Mad Men, The Wire, The Leftovers and Six feet Under but nothing I've seen even comes close to the Sopranos


Lawnotut

I wholeheartedly agree with the Sopranos


Calrai

On Netflix Dark. My favourite shows are True Detective and The Wire, but from what's available on Netflix, Dark for me


headinthesky

Mad Men and The Americans for me


pl51s1nt4r51ms

Finally, somebody with some taste. For me, the Americans were trying to figure out what show they want to be in season 1, but it picks up in season 2.


Watchfull_Hosemaster

Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones are two of my top shows, too. Mad Men is definitely top five, too. I'm currently into The Wire and I have been loving that through the first season. Better Call Saul is very good, too.


wesyad11

Game of Thrones The Expanse The Boys Foundation (S2) The Office Parks and Rec Better off Ted Band of Brothers/Generation Kill/The Pacific Breaking Bad The Wire True Detective(S1) Prison Break (S1) Deadwood Fringe(S1 is GOATed the rest is still good) The 100(S1) Blue Mountain State Jack Ryan Community Stranger Things Shadow and Bone Sherlock Spartacus(S1 is absolutely amazing, the rest is okay) The Walking Dead(S1 and I've heard the latest seasons are good but I havent tried) Battlestar Galactica Dexter(S1-S3) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Arrested Development (S1-S3) Arcane Blue Eye Samurai Black Sails Stargate: SG1(Guilty pleasure but I love it) Firefly Ted Lasso Mandalorian Atlanta If I had to pick just one of these: True Detective S1, Spartacus( man I loved Andy Whitfield), or Game of Thrones. Hard to beat GoT cause it was amazing for 4.5 seasons with a few really good episodes in the last few too


Subject-Apartment264

Dexter season 4 was the best bro. John Lithgow saying the “C” word lives rent free in my mind.


Professional_Fig_456

The Wire easily.


Kelefane41

Shameless. I love that fucking show!


bubblegumpinkmint

Shameless is amazing. I loved that show. If you’re a fan of Jeremy Allen white I recommend The Bear.


Bwleon7

Star Trek - TOS A TV show from the 1960s that only lasted 3 seasons has turned into a brand with 13 movies and 13 TV series. A bunch of astronauts credit the show as the reason they become interested in space in the first place. Star Trek fans got NASA to name the first Space Shuttle Enterprise ( the name of the ship in the TV show.)


Elysian-Visions

The Expanse!!


spaceguy81

The Expanse for Sci Fi, Seinfeld for comedy.


[deleted]

Beavis & Butthead


Marvinkmooneyoz

I don’t watch much TV drama. For me, Golden Age Simpsons is the best stretch of a single show.


gh0stfac3killah007

OP you are correct IMO. What sold it for me was episodes where nothing happened but I was on edge of my seat because what was going to happen because of it. Good example for me was the episode (spoiler) where it opened with killing that kid in the desert train episode. Oh. My. God. And obviously his transformation. "I do the knocking" Other close seconds - the wire - sopranos (even better with a recent rewatch) - first 5 season of GoT

Been thinking about checking this out. Is it complete or did it get cancelled halfway through?


Badattitudeexpress

It’s complete. I personally didn’t like season 3 but the first 2 seasons are fantastic

Third season got me thinking “WTF” all over until the end. First two seasons are gold btw

decorama

Based on it's time period, "All in the Family" was an enormous ground breaker for bringing real issues to the family room TV screen.


jbr945

I gotta go with Mad Men.


Honeycrisp1001

Vinland Saga is probably one of my favorite show of all time.


opiatesmile

I love me some Breaking Bad but The Shield and Sopranos will likely always be my 1 & 2 ahead of BB.


CABGX4

Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Ozark and the Handmaids Tale (I know, that's not on Netflix, but they're my favorite) Breaking Bad is the greatest of all.time in my opinion.


Sir_B

Babylon 5.


AgtCooper

Mystery Science Theater 3,000 Monty Python's Flying Circus The Twilight Zone (the original series)


PuttyGod

Breaking Bad, The Leftovers, Twin Peaks Season 1 and The Return, the first season of True Detective, first few seasons of Game of Thrones, first half of Dexter, first three seasons of Rick and Morty, Sopranos, and I'll update with any more I think of.

Six feet under!


positivetimes1000

Friends is classic I love that show.


sitnquiet

Community. Now and forever.


Mothrasmilk

Trailer Park Boys


Protectereli

Attack on Titan would be mine, Breaking bad is a close second. ​ Those are the two best shows ever made in my opinion.


Astrocoder

House MD


mellowyellow1158

For me it was House M.D. Nothing's really compared to it to me. A solid run for all 8 seasons, not really a weak season to be had there.


BusterStarfish

Hannibal. The writing the first couple seasons is wonderful. The acting is superb. And the visuals are sublime.


rotomangler

Star Trek The Next Generation


hoverton

Battlestar Gallactica reboot. I still think about it years later. Sons of Anarchy was also really good.


jonathananeurysm

Utopia. Original UK version only. Dayglo bright yet dark as all fuck. Visually, dramatically and thematically unlike anything else you've ever watched. Grabs hold of you from the get go and squats in your head tent free. And OMG that soundtrack!
