  • Best TV Series of All Time

    From Irish Mike@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 22 21:43:53 2023
    There have been a huge number of television series.
    Some come and go in a flash and others we may
    have heard of but never watched. But for some of us
    there was a TV series that we liked so much that we
    watched every single episode, season after season.

    So, in your opinion, what is the best TV series of all time?
    The one you always watched and never missed? Well
    for me there is no question, It was "NYPD Blue".
    And you say?

    I would say the top three for me (hard to choose between) are The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and The Wire.

    Saw all three, liked all three. I'd clearly rank "Sopranos" at the top. "The Wire"
    was a good, gritty show but I always wondered if the Baltimore Tourism Department ever filed a complaint against the show? If you watch
    "The Wire" the last place you'd want to visit would be Baltimore!

    Ditto on Sopranos and BB, but I need to go back to the wire and try again. I have started it a few times and always fall off, like I do with Peaky Blinders.

    The first season of Dexter is at the top of my list, the middle few were OK, and the last few are on the top of the list of terrible tv.

    It was the concept I enjoyed. As to what writer wrote which episodes, I didn't care much.
