@hobbers favourite show narrowly misses the top 15.
Nearly did mateImagine if that tripe had beaten Succession or True Detective
Yeah, it's in a league of its own for dialogue. Some of the monologues are incredibly poetic.Deadwood, in my opinion, has probably the best written dialogue of any tv show. It's like Shakespeare sprinkled with obscenities. Can never tire of listening to the characters talk.
The show is so dense, it's like a favourite book that reveals more and more every time you read it. It's the pinnacle of tv shows and for me only The Wire surpasses it slightly. Can't recommend it enough.
I'm British, and I got the humour. I just found Gervais's act (which has looked more and more like it's actually just him playing himself as the years have gone on) to wear thin very quickly. There's nothing redeemable about him.I could never get into the US version. Mainly because I was always comparing it to the original. British humour's great but it's not as easy to understand for folk outside these shores...probably another reason why it's not as popular on here despite being far superior.
Not a patch on season 1. Barely worth the watch.Loved season 1... haven't seen the rest. Are they worth watching?
Don‘t do it. I didn‘t find S2 as abysmal as most but it‘s got nothing on S1 - it‘s rather comical even. S3 I have seen only two episodes, think it‘s likely better than S2 but well…guess I‘ll finish it at some point.No. 15 - True Detective

It seems like the kind of thing you'd really enjoy. Its not spartacus but its similarly fun. A great show in general anywayI've never even heard of this show.
I'll add it to the old watchlist. Thanks.It seems like the kind of thing you'd really enjoy. Its not spartacus but its similarly fun. A great show in general anyway
My thoughts exactly. And Swearengen steals damn near every scene he’s in. So good.Deadwood, in my opinion, has probably the best written dialogue of any tv show. It's like Shakespeare sprinkled with obscenities. Can never tire of listening to the characters talk.

Dark, dripping in Nietzschean philosophy and bubbling under with the potentially supernatural, this is about as disturbing as TV gets.
The writing, atmosphere, prestige HBO production values and Woody Harrelson in his element all add up to an all-time great miniseries, but McConaughey's career-best turn as Rust Cohle is what propels it to the top for me. Mesmerising from the first scene, he brings the obsessive, nihilistic Cohle to life, and the pay off is a tour de force of a performance.

As far as I'm concerned, it's 3 different shows that happen to have the same title. The 2nd was bang average and I didn't finish the 3rd. I'll be watching the 4th this month (starring Jodie Foster) with tempered expectations.
oh it was to make Spartacus higher but okAbsolutely too late![]()

It’s tough. The only other option is by genre but that’s another can of worms in itself.Before I post the next one, I have a question.
I'm gonna do the music albums version of this next year. What's the best way to do the qualifying rounds?
I was thinking just do it by like decades:
Up to 1969
1970s
1980s
1990s
2000s
2010 - present
Would that be the best way?
I'm not a huge music fan so would like input.
Yeah I did the films one that way and it nearly caused a riotIt’s tough. The only other option is by genre but that’s another can of worms in itself.
Could maybe split the more recent years into smaller groups. As that’s what most of us have lived through.Yeah I did the films one that way and it nearly caused a riot
Decades are nice, but do songs instead of albums.I'm gonna do the music albums version of this next year.
The trailer for the 4th looks pretty good. It's the first season with no involvement from creator Nic Pizzolatto.oh, didn‘t know there was a fourth coming up.
That continuous shot where he goes undercover alongside those neonazis hitting a stash house was breathtaking. I also like how it nonchalantly tapped into Lovecraftian cosmic horror within the last ep - although I have to be honest and say that I needed a while till I accepted and embraced that part.
Love this show, the 80’s vibe, the story, and the fact that it’s the first real show I’ve properly watched with my eldest means it holds a very special place for me.No. 16 - Stranger Things
