Deadwood is on my list too.

Mad Men

I started Walking Dead but gave up after a few episodes.

You didn't miss much with The Walking Dead. The first few seasons were decent, but it quickly went downhill. They got cocky with the initial success and they're now milking the series to death.

another one is Breaking Bad - 62 episodes and a whopping 9.5/10 rating.

[–] TexasJack (12515) 6 years ago

The rating is well deserved. I hadn’t been seen it either until about three years ago. It really grabs your interest. I ended up binging it in a few days.

I feel guilty over missing this one. Someday.

It happened to be on in the background one day. I saw one scene and was immediately turned off. Not a show for me.

I've tried TWD twice and gave up both times on the same episode. I don't even really know why other than I just couldn't care.

+1 for The Americans. I had no idea it was such a long running series.

I'm finally watching The Sopranos!

I envy you seeing it for the first time. I remember when that came out my wife said she was not going to watch another Italian mob show. After about 5 episodes she (and I) were hooked.

[–] Stratego (29793) 6 years ago

Well, I have to admit it's not completely the first time for me. I actually watched a few episodes and the entire last season when it first came out. I could never really get into the show because the scheduling was all over the place. But it sure is a different experience watching all episodes from the very beginning. I'm on season 4 now and I'm not bored yet!

My in-laws also got hooked even though they pretended it wasn't the case.

deadwood got very tedious in my opinion.

regarding sopranos - i just trolled youtube collections of all the killing scenes.

americans i enjoyed very much. nice to see the show get the gg going out the door, richly deserved.

The Wire has a 9.3/10 and I have been tempted but not sure I'm interested enough.

reply

[–] Burk48917 (11161) 6 years ago

Amazing from beginning to end. It's kind of cool to see how the change in technology in the real world got folded into the show.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (74330) 6 years ago

Agreed
An amazing show

I wouldn't watch anything with Kevin Spacey, considering what a pervert he is.

reply

[–] Burk48917 (11161) 6 years ago

Well, since there are hundreds of other people involved on the show, I don't see it fair to punish them for one person. And I might be wrong,and I know he's currently on trial, but I thought there was nothing but accusations at this point. I let everyone have due process before I pass judgement.
