Go!

Last updated July 2021
Below is the list I posted later in the thread (my opinion), tiered. Alphabetical order within tiers, except in god tier where I ranked them by preference.
(this list excludes "full" documentaries, but does include dramatized docu's like Band of Brothers and Chernobyl)


God tier
My idea of a (near) perfect show. These are shows that I would (and often do) rewatch multiple times. To be in this tier, it can't have any major flaws (think game of thrones, which would have been in here if it didn't start fucking up in later seasons).
1. Wire, the
2. Sopranos, the
3. Mad men
4. Breaking bad
5. Fargo
Must-see tier
These are shows that stood out to me in a major way and I would gladly rewatch, but (in some cases barely) don't make the cut to God tier. With the exception of specific subjects or genres you strongly dislike, I would highly recommend all of these.
Arrested development
Band of brothers
Better call Saul
Black mirror
Chernobyl
Crown, the
Deuce, the
Game of thrones
Mindhunter
Mrs. America
Plot against America, the
Rick and Morty
Rome
Show me a hero
Silicon valley
South park
Succession
Treme
True detective S1
We own this city
"Worth a watch" tier
Give these a try if you have time.
Archer
Barry
Big little lies
Bloodline
Boardwalk empire
Bojack horseman
Curb your enthusiasm
Easy
Hacks
Handmaid's tale, a
Homeland
Horace and Pete
House of cards
House of the dragon

Narcos
Night of, the
Office, the (UK)

Pacific, the
Parks and recreation
Prison break
Queen's gambit, the
Rectify
Scrubs
Severance
Sharp objects
Six feet under
Staircase, the
Station eleven
Top of the lake
Twin peaks
Underground railroad, the
Undone
Unorthodox
What we do in the shadows
When they see us
Years and years
"See if it's for you" tier
Watch these if the premise appeals to you, or if you're a fan TV shows. These are shows I watched and enjoyed but in some cases didn't finish completely, and would probably not watch again.

Suits & HouseofCards for me rival GoT.

All top 3 though.

Never got into breaking bad though, just meh, not a fan of theme.

Havn't seen the mentalist venox ') I think you mentioned it before to me. I only have time for one show at a time.

Game of Thrones is like the iroquois of TV, others come close but still can't beat it.

Did he say the Wire? Cause if not he didn''t win ') Sopranos also getting overlooked.

More recently, True detective and House of cards are favourites of mine. And yeah, GoT is great.

Obviously The Wire. One of the most genuine TV series.

Now watching The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul.

I can see why people like house of cards but I'm not the biggest fan.

Since everything that has been posted so far are dramas I'll throw in some comedies with archer, trailer park boys, and arrested development.

I'll give inbetweeners and friday night dinner a little love too for jenkins :))

I dont know how much house of cards youve watched, but this last season has really turned me off. Didnt like it at all.
Yea I watched it. The acting and cinematography and music is super good, Im just not the biggest fan of the plot.

And gs I loved parks and rec but the later seasons werent that great imo. Never finished it but I guess I will now that its over.
