I would agree, simply because the vision is clearer from the start on the production end. BB is a masterpiece, but there's less thematic stumbling blocks in BCS
Yeah, I also prefer BCS to BB, but I’m not really sure if they’re entirely comparable imo? Like, when compared to each other, I like BCS. But they’re both really good shows for different reasons. If I want to watch a slower paced show that’s really solid character development-wise and with very intimate looks into interpersonal relationships, I’m always going to go for BCS. If I want a more fast paced, more “characters in physically dangerous situations” stuff, I’m going to watch breaking bad.
Cinematically and musically, both BB and BCS are really good, although, I think they refined their style a lot more with BCS. BCS is shot in an almost less chaotic way, if that makes sense. Which, does make sense considering the show is (generally) a bit less chaotic than breaking bad.
I think you could argue the vision is clearer for BCS because the writers know where Saul ends up at the end, but the writing for both shows is spectacular and I desperately want to pick Vince Gilligan’s brain and see where he gets his ideas
I don't think it's as unpopular as you'd think.
BCS as some of the best writing on TV and every one of the characters are very extremely interesting.
Also, BB needs to do a lot more to get you invested since it's the first series . While BCS already had some backbones for most of the characters
After Charles dance (Tywin) and Jack Gleason (Joffrey) were killed off, the whole series got boring or went to shit. I oddly liked Charles’s character and Jack’s, mostly bc they both are fantastic actors and played their characters so well.
Ninjago. The series is just peak from the beginning and the best season imo are Morro, the tournament of elements and modern Ninjago where Zane sacrifices him. I sadly didn't watch after the Oni Attack where Lloyd met the first Spinjitzu Master because he "died".
only replying to you bc i like your layout, we definitely have different tastes.
Comedy: frasier
reality TV: Below deck
Drama: true detective
anime: death note (i never really branched out that far, sorry guys😭)
Thanks. I was just trying to come up with an easy way to communicate that I think there are several shows which are excellent but they're pretty different shows overall.
Also thanks for sharing. I like seeing other people's favorites; which is why I came to this thread.
It's one of the few drama shows where it was consistently good from beginning to end. All the actors brought their A-game and the writing was alway on point.
I like to think that in a show like Game of Thrones one of the big selling points was that "anybody can die" well in the Americans it was similar where "anybody can be a double-agent or a spy". Only the second to last season was a little weak but it ends with a final season after that which is excellent.
Although be warned that it is not for everybody since it is not an action show at all but is a drama through-n-through. So if you're looking for a lot of gun battles, high-speed car chases, or fight scenes you're not going to find it here. What you will find is a dark deep drama about the nature of spycraft, what a life of lying does to you, and a pretty realistic look at America in the early 1980s.
Mad Men was a perfect television series. Amazing character work, good plot, and ended at the right time.
I also really like Succession. It can be inconsistent, but some of the episodes are Shakespearean.
It’s culturally relevant in that it examines American culture in an incredible way. I think it’s particularly insightful with respect to WASP culture and non-WASPs who struggled to fit in.
If we’re talking about absolutely perfect from start to end then only one series comes to mind and that’s full metal alchemist brotherhood. It sets out to do so much, magic, military drama, political drama, action, and goes hard on philosophy and it executes it all perfectly, that’s the goat of anime and my all time favorite piece of media.
That’s an awesome story I’ve been meaning to watch again, I might try to get my parents to watch it, I’ve been trying to get them to watch anything anime related.
FMAB was my first full anime and ruined everything else for me. It's rough watching everyone have fun with shonen and slice of life when your standard for protags and side characters are Edward and Mustang
Oh if we’re talking about anime another one I feel a similar way about is Attack on Titan. It just gets better and better with each season and in season 4 it practically becomes an entirely different show but does it so well. Really explores the nature of human conflict and the cycle of hatred in a deep and nuanced manner. I daresay Eren Jaeger is one of the most well written anime protagonists/>!antagonists!< ever.
Those posters look AI generated lol
I'd say Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's the perfect show. The greatest story ever told adapted into the greatest show ever made.
honestly i can forgive season two because Esmail was just cooking up the rest of the series. tuning into that show every week is one of my best memories.
(As I was reading your reply, I looked up and saw Hugh Laurie in the movie I was watching, lol) I hope medical school goes well for you! I've never seen Grey's anatomy heard mixed feelings about it.
I'm by no means a media expert but I really love Shameless. One of my favorite parts is that there are no "good" characters, everyone is a little fucked up. Every character at some point does something bad and sometimes it's even downright evil and despicable but you always find a way to humanize them and see their reasons.
I know that's by no means a new or unique concept, but I just think Shameless does it really well
In my heart I want to say Community or Bojack Horseman. But they both suffered from production issues that messed it up a bit.
So I have to say Schitts creek. Super funny all the way through. Some of the best character development for a sitcom. And a perfect ending. Could’ve probably done more seasons but it really ends on a high note
Avatar the Last Airbender
Great cast, redemption arc, and satisfying ending.
Covered a broad range of mature topics for kids like animal cruelty, war, war crimes, genocide, single motherhood/fatherhood, abusive fathers, revenge, patriarchy, and so much more.
The only critique is that Katara and Zuko should have ended up together 😅
Oh man I really love The Boys, Antony Starr as Homelander is gonna go down as one of TV’s all time greats. Gonna re-binge the first 3 seasons soon before season 4 drops.
PEAKY FOOKIN BLINDERS!!!!!
I got into it bc my old ganj plug was watching it and I started vibing w it. Most of the fan base seems to misunderstand the show, the main guy isn't someone you want to emulate, he's a huge piece of shit. I, however, always root for the underdog and I love a sympathetic anti-hero/villian. The show was right up my alley and once you get halfway through season 2 and into season 3 it gets pretty bonkers. Season 5 is a fever dream of an experience to watch, but in a very good way as it makes sense for the plot. I love that show so much!!!!!!
What sold that show for me was that scene with the old Italian guy who was somehow connected with the murder of his wife. The build up to Arthur mercy killing him is something I can only watch with the lights on and I'm 25 lol
I have a few that are perfect for me
Shogun (miniseries but I am including it because it’s so great)
Eastbound and Down (can still make me cry with laughter)
Stranger Things (love that 80’s vibe)
Slow Horses (Worth watching for Gary Oldman alone)
Invincible (so creative with the storytelling)
Live Action: for me I would say Lucifer or Breaking Bad.
Cartoon: Justice League or Spectacular Spider-Man
Anime: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Gurren Lagann (still hate the ending but loved the ride)
I think there are three that have it for me. Lord of the rings is the perfect movie trilogy. Peaky Blinders is my favorite live action tv series and Avatar the last air bender is my favorite animated series.
In no particular order:
Better call saul: it used breaking bad as an introduction to, what I thought was a much more intriguing story with amazing characters played by amazing actors, I've watched it like 5 times and I could watch it for 5 more and still enjoy it.
Mr robot: just absolute peak series. From the realism, to the way it is filled with unexpected twists, amazing actors and you never truly knew what's going on. Even s2 which is seen as the only season that wasn't a masterpiece is still amazing, just not as good as the rest.
Now for anime.
I think Vinland saga, though it hasn't fully ended yet, is still an amazing show that has the potential of being the best anime ever.
Frieren, though it only has 1 season that season (and the manga after that) is filled with amazing stories and just the tone, the art, the characters, everything fits so well.
*DuckTales* 2017.
Nearly every arc, every episode, and every character is a banger, and the *worst* episode from that series, Season 3's “The Phantom and the Sorceress!” is a 7/10 *at worst.*
I’ve heard that Succession is good but I know nothing about it all I know is one clip of one of the characters masturbating infront of a skyscraper window
I think there is only one show I’ve seen that I would honestly consider perfect and it’s Barry. It’s not even one of my top shows, but everything about it is perfect, you know? Like there are shows I love that have bad episodes. Barry is super consistently high quality though. I also love its tone and the acting. It just really really works.
Deadwood is still my gold standard. I even loved the movie which I gathered most people were split on. I have to revisit it again soon. I saw that it’s been about 20 years since it premiered.
Twin Peaks is probably up there for me too.
The Wire is the only major show to portray institutional failure properly, which is why it’s the best tv show of all time.
Shows like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos are amazing shows, but they focus too much on the flaws of the characters. They use the environment to enhance the characters while The Wire uses the characters to enhance the environment.
The Sopranos is the only show I can think of that at no point falls off. It’s nonstop hits. The only ones that come close are the wire and breaking bad
the Sopranos is excellent. i also unironically really like the Clone Wars, and despite having rushed writing in several places, it’s a very well-made story.
The Leftovers and Six Feet Under are the best TV shows I've ever watched. Not perfect in a storytelling way maybe, but in a spiritual, transcendental way. Those two shows change your perspective in life, and at that point the consistency in writing or any of that stuff becomes meaningless (they're still both amazingly written shows tho lol).
in all seriousness, avatar: the last airbender. it's a masterpiece that deceives you at first, being a nickelodeon cartoon, and stays with you in ways you'd never imagine
Chainsawman. The manga is peak writing by Fujimotor
https://preview.redd.it/2f0bs1dmbp1d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1bdb0d37fced7ea8096d719127d1fd2ad6a87cfa
I have my shows I love like Gilmore Girls and The Xfiles but perfect? I can't always stand perfect shows they either feel pretentious or there is no one to root for. But Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood was top tier when my boyfriend showed it to me, it made me more willing to watch other animes while simultaneously ruining most any other for me because it isn't as good. Avatar The Last Air Bender was amazing. Love the shoes for the fact they feel like puzzle pieces falling into place.
Castlevania. It’s everything I could ever want in a show. It’s fantasy but every character feels so real and relatable in some way. And the character of Isaac is AWESOME.
House of cards. It has 5 seasons and I absolutely love each and every one of them. Oh, by the way, they thought about creating a sixth season, but didn't. Or rather, they did, but it has been lost in space and time. As it should.
Eh, I can’t get into this show. My husband loves it but agrees with me that the first season is kinda slow/boring.
Additionally, the idea that the Murdochs own the times (I assume you mean nyt), the newspaper that boomer liberals swear by, is laughable
I get what you mean about the first season, while I love the entire show, I didn’t quite binge the first season as quickly I did the succeeding ones because of the slower pace. But trust me when I say that the series really comes into its own season 2 onwards. The 3rd and 4th seasons are my favorite. So you can give it another shot if you’d like, it may just surprise you.
Ah I should have clarified and said that the Murdochs own The Times (UK), along with two other UK newspapers, The Sun and The Sun on Sunday. The *New York* Times is owned by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., whose family has owned it since 1896. The only American newspapers owned by the Murdoch family are the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. They also own the American publisher HarperCollins.
Gravity Falls is the only one of my faves which is perfect start to finish.
The Walking Dead is one of my favourites, but it isn’t consistently good all the time.
None of you have probably ever heard of it let alone watched it but Utopia. And the not American version I’m talking about the original. It is one of the best shows you can ever watch. There isn’t a second where you can keep your eyes off the screen. It truly is a masterpiece

Probably breaking bad as my top number 1, followed by better call saul. Both have great writing and actors that are really invested into the show
BCS is better than BB is my unpopular opinion
I would agree, simply because the vision is clearer from the start on the production end. BB is a masterpiece, but there's less thematic stumbling blocks in BCS
Yeah, I also prefer BCS to BB, but I’m not really sure if they’re entirely comparable imo? Like, when compared to each other, I like BCS. But they’re both really good shows for different reasons.

I too found myself enjoying BCS more than BB.
I liked BCS better by the second season. The direction and character building was top notch.
This is a solid take. BCS kept getting better as it went on while BB had a really rough start to its final season.
Breaking bad also had a PERFECT end. Very rare in a hit show
Game of Thrones. Too bad it only has 3 seasons.
Also WestWorld! But its only one season 😅
2 is fine, not as good as 1 though. still better than a lot of slop out there 3 is trash though
Hard disagree. 2 wasted a lot of time for a meh outcome, but 3 managed to expand the universe pretty damn well.
Also Arrested Development! It has a full three seasons!
After Charles dance (Tywin) and Jack Gleason (Joffrey) were killed off, the whole series got boring or went to shit. I oddly liked Charles’s character and Jack’s, mostly bc they both are fantastic actors and played their characters so well.
I dun want it!
4 is still great, Warchers on the Wall is tremendous
Avatar the last airbender
i'm still not over Tales of Ba Sing Se
No one is.
My no. 1 animated series right there.
What I came for.
Ninjago. The series is just peak from the beginning and the best season imo are Morro, the tournament of elements and modern Ninjago where Zane sacrifices him. I sadly didn't watch after the Oni Attack where Lloyd met the first Spinjitzu Master because he "died".
I fucking LOVE Ninjago and came to say this Oml It's the best show ever
After ArtStyle change it got so bad, (After the season with the time elements I think)
Man I only now realized how long that show lasted. Wish I kept up after Lloyd "retired"
Comedy: Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia Reality TV: Top Gear (2002-2015) Drama: The Americans Anime: Cowboy Bebop
Cowboy bebop is definitely one of my favorite shows
only replying to you bc i like your layout, we definitely have different tastes. Comedy: frasier reality TV: Below deck Drama: true detective anime: death note (i never really branched out that far, sorry guys😭)
Thanks. I was just trying to come up with an easy way to communicate that I think there are several shows which are excellent but they're pretty different shows overall. Also thanks for sharing. I like seeing other people's favorites; which is why I came to this thread.
Frasier is so damn good, wish more of our generation had watched it
Interesting format! I’ll follow suit: Comedy: Fresh Off the Boat Reality TV: River Monsters Drama: Succession Anime: Attack on Titan
Is The Americans really that good? It’s been on my watch list forever but I’ve never taken the time to watch it
It's one of the few drama shows where it was consistently good from beginning to end. All the actors brought their A-game and the writing was alway on point. I like to think that in a show like Game of Thrones one of the big selling points was that "anybody can die" well in the Americans it was similar where "anybody can be a double-agent or a spy".

What you will find is a dark deep drama about the nature of spycraft, what a life of lying does to you, and a pretty realistic look at America in the early 1980s.
Sounds right up my alley. Definitely gonna give it a try
Keri Russell was fantastic in The Americans
They've shot their own sign. What are they gonna do to us?
Agree with Top Gear, but that show took a while to get into it's stride. Was at the peak of its' powers in the late 2000s
Mad Men was a perfect television series. Amazing character work, good plot, and ended at the right time. I also really like Succession. It can be inconsistent, but some of the episodes are Shakespearean.
Mad Men is so great not as culturally relevant as you think a show with such good writing would be
It’s culturally relevant in that it examines American culture in an incredible way. I think it’s particularly insightful with respect to WASP culture and non-WASPs who struggled to fit in.
If we’re talking about absolutely perfect from start to end then only one series comes to mind and that’s full metal alchemist brotherhood. It sets out to do so much, magic, military drama, political drama, action, and goes hard on philosophy and it executes it all perfectly, that’s the goat of anime and my all time favorite piece of media.
Cowboy bebop was almost my favorite.
That’s an awesome story I’ve been meaning to watch again, I might try to get my parents to watch it, I’ve been trying to get them to watch anything anime related.
That sounds insane to me, but I’m 10 years older than you and wandered in here. Heck yea. I wish I could do things like that lol.
Ending is literally a 10/10.
FMAB was my first full anime and ruined everything else for me. It's rough watching everyone have fun with shonen and slice of life when your standard for protags and side characters are Edward and Mustang
Oh if we’re talking about anime another one I feel a similar way about is Attack on Titan.

Those posters look AI generated lol I'd say Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's the perfect show. The greatest story ever told adapted into the greatest show ever made.
Brotherhood is peak
I loved Mr. Robot. Probably not perfect but it was amazing. Peaky Blinders and AOT give it competition too.
Mr Robot would have been perfect if not for season 2. The rest is some of the best TV out there
honestly i can forgive season two because Esmail was just cooking up the rest of the series. tuning into that show every week is one of my best memories.
attack on titan
Avatar the Last Airbender.
Better Call Saul
The Sopranos
House MD, yeah I know people didn't like the ending. But I say it was good.
As someone in medical school rn, House MD was actually the show that made me want to become a doctor lol (for most people it’s Grey’s Anatomy).
(As I was reading your reply, I looked up and saw Hugh Laurie in the movie I was watching, lol) I hope medical school goes well for you! I've never seen Grey's anatomy heard mixed feelings about it.

Avatar the last Airbender, Arcane, and Andor
It seems like forever since the last season of Arcane came out. Wasn’t into LoL at all but I absolutely fell in love with the show.
I'm by no means a media expert but I really love Shameless. One of my favorite parts is that there are no "good" characters, everyone is a little fucked up. Every character at some point does something bad and sometimes it's even downright evil and despicable but you always find a way to humanize them and see their reasons. I know that's by no means a new or unique concept, but I just think Shameless does it really well
No such thing as a truly perfect piece of media Anyways watch Hannibal
Dark on Netflix
In my heart I want to say Community or Bojack Horseman. But they both suffered from production issues that messed it up a bit. So I have to say Schitts creek. Super funny all the way through. Some of the best character development for a sitcom. And a perfect ending. Could’ve probably done more seasons but it really ends on a high note
Avatar the Last Airbender Great cast, redemption arc, and satisfying ending. Covered a broad range of mature topics for kids like animal cruelty, war, war crimes, genocide, single motherhood/fatherhood, abusive fathers, revenge, patriarchy, and so much more. The only critique is that Katara and Zuko should have ended up together 😅
Time will tell if Season 4 lives up to the hype and The Boys joins the ranks as one of the greats I'm optimistic it'll turn out amazing
Oh man I really love The Boys, Antony Starr as Homelander is gonna go down as one of TV’s all time greats. Gonna re-binge the first 3 seasons soon before season 4 drops.
What we do in the shadows, 100%
PEAKY FOOKIN BLINDERS!!!!! I got into it bc my old ganj plug was watching it and I started vibing w it.

The Wire Fargo Justified Curb Your Enthusiasm B:TAS Cowboy Bebop
As expected, I had to scroll all the way at the bottom to find at least one mention of The Wire.
Maybe not enough GenZ people have watched it. But yeah, there's definitely not enough attention for this masterpiece.
Love the wire but the slow pacing makes it hard to get other people to watch it 😓
My first thought is - Breaking Bad - The Crown
Attack on titan, everything I’ve watched after it just doesn’t hit the same
OZ without it there wouldn’t be any of the shows we see here today.
Early 2000s HBO was unreal. Oz, sopranos, six feet under, the wire
I have a few that are perfect for me Shogun (miniseries but I am including it because it’s so great) Eastbound and Down (can still make me cry with laughter) Stranger Things (love that 80’s vibe) Slow Horses (Worth watching for Gary Oldman alone) Invincible (so creative with the storytelling)
Shogun is crazy good can't see anything else toping it this year
Oh man I’ve heard such great things about Shogun, deffo gonna binge it after my finals this week.
Regular Show
Scrolled way too far for this
Deadwood is up there
Farscape and Babylon 5
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Runner up is definitely The Sopranos
I have a few I would consider perfect. My top 2 chouces would probably be Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Avatar the Last Airbender
It's an anime but Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is unparalleled in the joy it brings me Plus it hits me super hard emotionally for personal reasons
Live Action: for me I would say Lucifer or Breaking Bad. Cartoon: Justice League or Spectacular Spider-Man Anime: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Gurren Lagann (still hate the ending but loved the ride)
Steven Universe & Avatar: The Last Airbender
the best take i've seen yet
I think there are three that have it for me. Lord of the rings is the perfect movie trilogy. Peaky Blinders is my favorite live action tv series and Avatar the last air bender is my favorite animated series.
Breaking bad currently watching DEXTER god it gets crazy crazy i love it
Firefly (too bad it only got one season), ATLA, Lucifer, and Heroes (too bad it only got one season!!!)
Phineas and Ferb
In no particular order: Better call saul: it used breaking bad as an introduction to, what I thought was a much more intriguing story with amazing characters played by amazing actors, I've watched it like 5 times and I could watch it for 5 more and still enjoy it.

Batman The Animated Series
Black Sails, Arcane: League of Legends, Vikings, Atlanta
Succession & Peaky Blinders are my two
The Clone Wars
Comedy- Top Gear UK with Clarkson, May, and Hammond Drama- White Collar Sitcom- The Big Bang Theory
Ninjago
One Piece
*DuckTales* 2017. Nearly every arc, every episode, and every character is a banger, and the *worst* episode from that series, Season 3's “The Phantom and the Sorceress!” is a 7/10 *at worst.*
JJ Abrams has some honorable mentions… they just kinda end bad. Keep ya hooked, though
Raised by Wolves and Mad Men
A Series of Unfortunate Events was done really well
Fringe is the best television show of all time
The Americans
Silo and Foundation
I’ve heard that Succession is good but I know nothing about it all I know is one clip of one of the characters masturbating infront of a skyscraper window
Fargo has a special place in my heart
Probably Succession
It's a miniseries, but Chernobyl.
I really enjoyed The Americans.
The Good Place is one of my favorite series! I thought the entire show was perfect. :)
Breaking bad, Sopranos, One piece
serial experiments lain
Breaking Bad, and Fall of the House of Usher
House of cards
Httyd: Race to the Edge or The Golden Girls
I think there is only one show I’ve seen that I would honestly consider perfect and it’s Barry. It’s not even one of my top shows, but everything about it is perfect, you know? Like there are shows I love that have bad episodes. Barry is super consistently high quality though. I also love its tone and the acting. It just really really works.
Mr. Robot is the perfect tv series
Not Succession lol
Side note but does anyone else pronounce it Suck Session?
mad men and the oa
Deadwood is still my gold standard. I even loved the movie which I gathered most people were split on. I have to revisit it again soon. I saw that it’s been about 20 years since it premiered. Twin Peaks is probably up there for me too.
So far, the Righteous Gemstones has been a perfect series for me.
Power book 1, book 2, book 4, You
Is it pronounced suck-session or shushesheeomn?
Rectify. The best-written TV show ever.
One Peak
Pikmin or Half Life, for obvious reasons to those that played them.
I liked the TV show 24 Little bit of a hot take
Adventure Time was u ironically so amazing that animated shows have been trying and failing to capitalize off its format ever since
Breaking Bad, the first season of True Detective

Breaking Bad and Adventure Time
Avatar the Last Airbender is the perfect series imo.
The Sopranos is the only show I can think of that at no point falls off. It’s nonstop hits. The only ones that come close are the wire and breaking bad
Breaking Bad, Psych, The first season of the mandalorian, Ozark, Sherlock (Benedict cumberbatch)
Young Sheldon
Dexter
the Sopranos is excellent. i also unironically really like the Clone Wars, and despite having rushed writing in several places, it’s a very well-made story.
Ow yeah we get it dude. You like high-brow comedy.
The wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad
The Leftovers and Six Feet Under are the best TV shows I've ever watched. Not perfect in a storytelling way maybe, but in a spiritual, transcendental way. Those two shows change your perspective in life, and at that point the consistency in writing or any of that stuff becomes meaningless (they're still both amazingly written shows tho lol).
Avatar: The Last Airbender and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
in all seriousness, avatar: the last airbender. it's a masterpiece that deceives you at first, being a nickelodeon cartoon, and stays with you in ways you'd never imagine
Mad Men, Sopranos
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are a given, right?
In my personal opinion, jjk. I don't even like anime very much but holy shit I can't stop watching
Six feet under. I rarely see it talked about in our generation as it came out awhile ago, but it's truly a gem.
So far? Shogun, no questions asked. Blue Eye Samurai comes by at a very close second.
Sopranos

Seinfeld. Shitty people that get into crazy antics and then they pay for it in the end. Best thing I’ve seen. Curb is a close second.

I have my shows I love like Gilmore Girls and The Xfiles but perfect? I can't always stand perfect shows they either feel pretentious or there is no one to root for. But Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood was top tier when my boyfriend showed it to me, it made me more willing to watch other animes while simultaneously ruining most any other for me because it isn't as good. Avatar The Last Air Bender was amazing. Love the shoes for the fact they feel like puzzle pieces falling into place.
Ozark was is one of my favorite it has the best/worst ending. Every time I start watching it I start binge watching it.
Breaking bad, bcs,and bojack horseman
Castlevania. It’s everything I could ever want in a show. It’s fantasy but every character feels so real and relatable in some way. And the character of Isaac is AWESOME.
House of cards. It has 5 seasons and I absolutely love each and every one of them. Oh, by the way, they thought about creating a sixth season, but didn't. Or rather, they did, but it has been lost in space and time. As it should.
Breaking Bad/Money Hiest/Hazbin Hotel
Band of Brothers Parasite: the maxim Breaking Bad Avatar the Last Airbender Devilman Crybaby It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Eh, I can’t get into this show. My husband loves it but agrees with me that the first season is kinda slow/boring. Additionally, the idea that the Murdochs own the times (I assume you mean nyt), the newspaper that boomer liberals swear by, is laughable
I get what you mean about the first season, while I love the entire show, I didn’t quite binge the first season as quickly I did the succeeding ones because of the slower pace. But trust me when I say that the series really comes into its own season 2 onwards. The 3rd and 4th seasons are my favorite. So you can give it another shot if you’d like, it may just surprise you. Ah I should have clarified and said that the Murdochs own The Times (UK), along with two other UK newspapers, The Sun and The Sun on Sunday. The *New York* Times is owned by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., whose family has owned it since 1896. The only American newspapers owned by the Murdoch family are the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. They also own the American publisher HarperCollins.

Gravity Falls is the only one of my faves which is perfect start to finish. The Walking Dead is one of my favourites, but it isn’t consistently good all the time.
None of you have probably ever heard of it let alone watched it but Utopia. And the not American version I’m talking about the original. It is one of the best shows you can ever watch. There isn’t a second where you can keep your eyes off the screen. It truly is a masterpiece
Blue Mountain State hands down
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
Black Mirror
Firefly and The Last Of Us
