This was great! Thank you @Dirty Schwein

I've always had hard time deciding which one is better, The Wire or Sopranos but now that Sopranos not winning it makes me feel a bit gutted says it all.

Both great shows.


Thank you, well put.

Weird how people rate it as a master piece.
It's ok entertainment I guess but most storylines, characters and scenes are just fecking stupid, ridiculous and implausible. Like, how they took over the corners (just walked up there and started selling ffs), the crazy party days at Jessies house, the Fly episode when they build towers out if chairs to reach to a fly. Like, what kind of a clueless moron writes scripts like these?

Also it stinks of "hey look at us cool guys making this cool fecking show" very strongly
Sorry for the rant but BB is a shite series.

It might not be for you but it’s definitely not shite.

Any chance of a list of a few non-english shows? I know they were mentioned in earlier rounds and there was a lot i hadn't seen.
I'm back watching Rome again at the moment.

And thanks @Dirty Schwein this was fun

My top would be The Bureau. Some of the best television I've seen and on par with the Top 5 of the list IMO. I love crime shows so Gomorrah and Romanzo Criminale would also be highly recommended. I'm also a big fan of wuxia-type period shows from Asia but I know not many in the West can get into those. Still, Nirvana in Fire is a top tier show as is Six Flying Dragons. There are some more that I'm forgetting as well.

Only me and one other voted for Avatar so I can only assume it’s due to people having not seen it. Because it’s superb.
