Favorite TV Shows

Simply perfection. The only show I've seen that gets better exponentially with every season right up until the end, and it is one wild ride start to finish.

Messy start, but still shockingly good once it finds it’s feet. I’m impressed how different it is from Breaking Bad despite the heavy ties. It’s much better than I would have ever expected, and like Breaking Bad it improves season to season continuing a remarkable run for Vince Gilligan.

Incredible first four seasons, but after Clyde Phillips left the writing quality dropped off a cliff and everything turned to shit. Sad because at one point it was my favorite show. Still a solid guilty pleasure at least. Seasons 1-4 10/10

Edit: Redeemed by the reboot! I absolutely loved New Blood, and am so happy the show finally got the ending it deserved.

An unparalleled achievement in authenticity, The Wire is the most realistic and impressively crafted show I’ve ever seen. Certainly deserving of all it’s praise.

"A Song Of Ice And Fire" by George R.R. Martin is one of my all time favorite book series, and the show stays true to the source material remarkably well. However, because I'm so familiar with the books, I am sometimes disappointed with the changes made. Regardless, this is truly a masterpiece series and adaptation, with nothing else quite like it on television.

Edit: Holy shit were the final seasons of this series awful haha. They didn’t totally tarnish it’s legacy, but I’m still not sure I’ll ever get over the poor taste left in my mouth.

Best period piece and character study ever put to television.

Who is Don Draper?

American Beauty the series (and almost as good).

No other show has ever made me “feel” the way this one does. It’s way to early to say whether or not it’ll be truly great (and I know I’m being impulsive by rating it so highly so soon), but Euphoria has definitely tapped into something special. It’s electric, stylish, unflinching, and has already managed to make me obsessed in only 5 episodes. It’s been the biggest surprise of the year for me, and I’m so glad it was renewed for S2. Zendaya is amazing and bound to be a huge star.

Fantastic start. Likely to rise up the list if it can retain the quality of its surprisingly great first season.

Edit: Jinxed it. Lol.

21st century Twilight Zone, but better.

Tough and gritty frontier western from HBO that was a glorious achievement in its day, but still tragically cancelled before it could reach its full potential. I’m hoping the movie can capture some of the same old magic.

This is certainly the best show I’ve ever seen about serial killers and those who hunt them. It’s also consistently meticulous in it’s period detail and all around incredibly well made. I’m loving David Fincher’s venture into television. His perfectionism definitely made the transition.

Not just a ripoff of Breaking Bad as I initially assumed, but a totally unique crime drama that only grows more layered and riveting as it goes along. I have incredibly high hopes for this series after watching the first couple seasons. I love every storyline the show has to offer. Jason Bateman and Laura Linney are terrific.

Edit: Holy shit Season 3 ups the game! The show’s really firing on all cylinders now. Absolutely every member of the ensamble is terrific, and the story has now reached a point where it has set up so much that it can be truly unpredictable. I’m in awe of how good the writing has become. It’s a toss up between this and Better Call Saul for the best series currently on air in my opinion.

I really love the Coen brother's film, and, even if it's not quite as good, the series does a great job capturing the zaniness and charm of the movie and town while being different enough to stand alone. My only real complaint is that it would frequently go off on tangents or introduce conflicts and plot lines that were never addressed again, or at least not fully resolved. Still a fantastic show, and I will definitely be returning if there ends up being a second season.

Edit: Season 2 was indeed better than Season 1. Wow.
