#Netflix #BreakingBad #GameOfThrones
What do you think is the best show of the century so far?!
Game of thrones.. breaking bad...dark.. Chernobyl...band of brothers... Brooklyn 99..the office....better call Saul... Sherlock....and so many more
The first 3 seasons of Spongebob lmao, but seriously a more quotable show simply doesn’t exist
Agents of Shield
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for so long thank you 🙏🏼
@A . B Shah the flash isn't really that good
Better Call Saul deserves a spot. It's so much more than just a spin-off
100%
It’s so boring stopped watching after 3 seasons
Boring
Literally. I thought it was gonna be boring but I couldn’t stop watching lmao
For sure. People say it’s boring because it’s not as exciting and not as many explosions but the characters are incredible and the writing/plot is amazing

The Wire is so overrated
It should be “ Top 20 best TV shows of the century for US” titled.
Cause us shows are the best
@@aaronkeenan1303 ah! An American, probably haven't seen any foreign shows except in their own country, never traveled, thinks US is the centre of the world.
Tell them, europeans and latin tv shows are as good as american ones. La casa de las flores, skam, vis a vis, chewing gum, years and years, narcos... just to name a few lmao
European series like Dark and Peep Show are fantastic. Dark is named one of the best works Netflix ever did. Many say Peep Show is a disgusting british show, but is a realistic story of two brits in an original view. At least this two should be a honorable mention.
Oh and Casa de Papel, “Money Heist”, is literally fantastic.
True detective (season 1) and Fargo (season 1,2 and 3) are one of the highest rated TV shows in Imdb and rotten tomatoes and has nominated for several Emmy awards...
True detective season 1 is the goat season
Fargo isnt that good
@@zhye5588 it's personal preference and I respect your opinion. But, the fact is that, it got nominated for several Emmy awards and have also won some. And it has an imdb rating of 8.9 and rotten tomato score of 90% (only well written shows has that kind of rating) and the acting, plot and characters are acclaimed by audiences as well as critics.
@@Patrickbatemanharvard dont get me wrong, i did like the 2nd season. But the series is far from the greatest. Maybe its just me but I undervalue Imdb ratings and tomato meter i just use it as an indicator. After all anyone without sense of quality can rate a 10/10 on imdb and tomato meter is just percentage of critics that gave it a 6/10 or higher. Emmys hold no value in my eyes just like oscars its just a Hollywood ppl thing.
@@zhye5588 again I respect your opinion. But the film and television academy consists of 6000 experienced film experts from worldwide and based on their voting the film/tv series is elected as best. And they are far more experienced than any of normal audience and from them what I've learned is that, they do recognize good writing and acting, which are the core elements in a film or tv series. I've found their judgement satisfactory in 8/10 scenarios. And also you've mentioned that anyone can vote 10/10 in Imdb, that's true, but average rating is based on thousands of votings, So I don't think that few reviews can alter the whole system.
Much respect you have the Leftovers at #4. I’ve always said it shows the full potential of Lindelof without network restrictions and commercial breaks. Doesn’t have the pop culture fame of Lost, but doesn’t have the plot holes either. Absolute masterpiece.
That's my current bedtime show and this is the FIFTH time I've watched it 😂
@@Grapevine_1987Jesus Christ you watched the leftovers five time!!!😂you’re completely mad.The leftover is very good, but there’s no way I could watch an entire show more than twice. How’d you do it?
@@raymondsims7042 LMFAO I've watched Breaking Bad five times too 💀 Those are the only two.. also, maybe I'm way older than you or it has something to do with my shit memory/brain damage?
@@Grapevine_1987 I think it has more to do with you being obsessed and absolutely nuts😂😂( all jokes lass) that’s crazy that those two shows had that much impact on you for you to watch them both five times each. I love those shows as well but I’ve never loved anything that much😂. I’ll give you a recommendation of a few shows to watch so you don’t keep back to the leftovers and breaking bad. Try mr robot, dark, Dexter, succession, Alice in borderland, you !! Those are all great shows right there I think you’d like them🤝
@@raymondsims7042 I do go back when I can't find something new so thank you haha
Breaking Bad is the perfect Tv show made ever. It just got better and better with every episode and every season. There will never be any other show topping BB.
I got The Sopranos, The Wire and Madmen over Breaking Bad because in my opinion Breaking Bad nothing compares to the first time you watch it but the other 3 tv shows I mentioned get better everytime you rewatch them. I had watched Breaking Bad like 4 times already but it still doesnt compare to the first time I saw it. The Wire, Madmen and Sopranos maybe they didnt improved each season like Breaking Bad but they improved everytime I rewatched them again. Breaking Bad doesnt get worse but it is like a hard drug lol meth, H and crack where it impacts you the first time but you will always chase that amazing feeling. The 3 shows I mentioned are like art.
@@petersonofleo11 sopranos and wire are overrated and boring. Breaking bad is much better always keeps you on the edge of your seat.
@@petersonofleo11 same goes for madmen I’ll rather pick mr robot instead of madmen
@KELL II lol no sane person would call sopranos better than BB unless you’re one of those edgy teenagers who think it’s cool to say something different
@@skai1862 dude you're the embodyment of bad arguments lol
Dark was #1 on this list in 1953 & 1986. Will be again in 2052.
😂😂😂😂
😂
Lmao good oen
Dark who? Breaking bad and The Sopranos are kings of television. no show so far that beats those 2.
@@SkaffaS wire maybe
Person Of Interest is top 5 imo. The only negative is it was obvious they were forced to end it quickly. Plot development within plots. Great character development. They had to kill off characters quick due to top execs pulling the plug but they did great with what they had to work with.
Breaking Bad is the best series ever made ,but I think Better call sauo should be there in top 20 .Also true detective
The sopranos is objectively the best, I havent seen it, but its number 1 on every list. I have seen breaking bad hiwever and I prefer Game of Thrones and Prison Break
@@RPCentral7 Do you know what “objectively” means
"Breaking Bad" is the best written show "The office" is the most enjoyable show
@@RPCentral7 Both GOT and prison break have worst final season in the history of television.
True detective season what?
Michael Scofield escaped from this list too.. Unbelievable!
Of curse. Such as the Quality who escaped after season 1. Can't never understand why are so many people getting bitchy about this thing smh.
I was here to see Prison Break in the list. I am very disappointed. Prison Break must be in the top 10.
@@kingofyoutube9318 yeah exactly
@Sceptro Awwn poor baby I hurt your feelings, don't worry you'll understand in a few years
@@tomjaxson9669 jealous because prison break is one of the most loved series, and probably your favourite is not recognized?
GOT - GAME OF THRONES GOAT - BREAKING BAD
Watched them both, GOT in Season 1-4 I can see WHY people would say it was better than Breaking Bad, though I still prefer Breaking Bad more regardless. Breaking Bad was undefeated when it was airing. GOT lost everytime in the emmy awards because of Breaking Bad.
@@deadrock1678 you may think that breaking bad is better, but don't judge based of awards.
@@shomershabbos6291 Why not?
@@deadrock1678 because some shows aren't that well known or popular, i'm not saying that breaking bad isn't better because i think so too, but just don't judge based of awards, because some win more and some win less and it's not necessarly due to quality
Damn right
Great list, would personally add Succession and Severance - still ongoing but they are so enthralling!
Good call!
Better call saul > Succession
Better Call Saul ist easily one of the best scripts in all of media, not just shows, but film in general. True art. Peaky Blinders should at least be a mention ☺️
Yeah bcs is easily a top 15 show for me and Presley blinders is arguably top 20
Missing: - Narcos - Band og brothers - Peaky blinders - Mr Robot - Sherlock - Generation kill - Chernobyl - True detective - The walking dead - Vikings
@@aty1238 dark is missing too
The 100?
Lucifer as well
@@aty1238 So? True detective lost its edge really after the first season, many fans hated the last 2-3 seasons of game of thrones. That doesnt mean the whole entire series is unworthy of being on the list. 4-5 seasons is still a lot.
@@aty1238 The walking dead still had amazing seasons though
Better Call Saul Peaky Blinders Chernobyl Westworld Black Mirror Fargo Dark Where are these???
😂
@@mondaybores1547 Oh no, it's not.
@Philthy Mcguyver I'm just talking about the core on which the show was made
@@2wimpies556 I think it is
@@mondaybores1547 It fails in it's pursuit of brilliance, it gets lost, it isn't that well written. Season 1 is among my personal favourites, but afterwards show loses its own prime motive. It's not a brilliant afterwards.
The fact that they included stranger things and not Dark in the list , says a lot about the intelligence of our society.
I personally think one of the best tv shows ever made was NBC's Hannibal it at least deserved an honorable mention. It was way ahead of its time and still to this day a timeless tv show. The writing and cinematography was phenomenal .
I wholeheartedly agree with this
we should just rewatch it together
wow i loved that show, used to watch it with my ex gf, she was an amazing woman
Highly underrated show
Better Call Saul and Dark are some 10/10 shows that need a mention.
Better call Saul I can agree but dark nah...they don't even come close to shows on this list
the last season of dark was not promising..
@@sauravtiwari1462 I think that goes for any mystery show. Once the veil is lifted, it is harder to keep up with the expectations. Stranger Things fell hard after the first season for this very reason.
@@sauravtiwari1462 dark season 3 is amazing ….
Dark is an one of best underated show of all time
Mr. Robot, Peaky Blinders, and Silicon Valley should've at least been honorable mentions.
Those are just well-made TV shows that have nothing special about them.
@@danielright1515 mr robot is the best show ever made in my opinion and is heavily underrated
@@danielright1515 Silicon Valley and Mr. Robot are not just well made shows mate. Silicon Valley is the best show about tech and the most realistic comedy show made. It captures the geek and nerd culture beautifully and shows the harsh reality of emerging startups in Silicon Valley. And for Mr. Robot, I don't know how to explain the greatness of the show. It's a genre in itself.
Peachy blinders is too melodramatic to be one of the best ever It’s still good though
probably my top 3 lmao
My favorite of all time: Dark, Breaking bad, better call Saul, Black sails, The expanse, Lost, Game of thrones.
Watch prison break as well
Happy to see Battlestar Galactica on this list. It was largely ignored due to the earlier show but it is seriously epic.
I want to check it out but it seems insanely long with a bunch of movies in between the show. Is it truly worth watching and does it feel like it goes on forever when watching it?
The writing in Better Call Saul is at times even more impressive than that of Breaking Bad. But I assume it didn't make the list because season 6 isn't out yet.
Well stranger things is on here
The Freebrothers Better call Saul is ten thousand times better than Stranger things.
Shows are considered based on the overall impact they’ve had. Though Better Call Saul has better writing, Breaking Bad has much larger impact on pop-culture.
Not Steven Spielberg I would agree with that
Whilst I do prefer Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul S5 is near flawless imo
I don't know all the tv shows, watched a few and my favorites are here, except for Vikings. For me Vikings is one of the best, if not top of the list. It is much more than a historic hack and slash action show. It showcases with great details the life and the philosophies of that time. It is a show of great characters, of ambition, humility, understanding, adventure, exploration and everything that makes us human, full of historical specificities. It is suspenseful, dramatic, philosophical, a game of chess, a romantic saga. It can get tedious at times, given it's length, but oh man, is it glorious.
Prison break is the best show of all time.
I don’t think people understand the impact The Sopranos had as a series that everyone in production thought was gonna tank and instead went on to be one of the greatest shows. That said, Boardwalk Empire was also a great series
Never seen it
People forget about OZ. It came first and in HBO
Stop saying “it didn’t quite stick the landing” it’s crucial that people know how disappointing some of these conclusions really are
* Game of Thrones enters the chat*
Cant agree more with this, can we all just accept that the final season of Game of Thrones blew it?
Nathan Hogan D&D made ruining a masterpiece look easy
@@TheGamingPile was rotten long before that
With GOT i agree, yes. But ending of lost was great and made total sense imo.
I think the walking dead deserved to be on the list, and at least an honourable mention for entourage
Snowfall is getting no love here it wasn't as influential as breaking bad but it's one of the best shows to watch start to finish and it gets better every season
I know right, you're like the first who mentioned it
Really amazed that PRISON BREAK, SHERLOCK, VIKINGS and PEAKY BLINDERS didn't even made to honorable mentions. It hurts ! They shouldn't be that much underrated !
I totally agree with you and I miss big bang theory too
@@fbotond7325 yes exactly !
@@fbotond7325 Big Bang Theory aint even close to top 50 imo

Not the hero we deserved. But the hero we needed.
The Wire will go down in history as a masterpiece.. Unmatched writing and depictions of bureaucratic institutions. I’ve watched the entire series several times and pick-up on something new each time. Also launched some great acting careers. Breaking Bad was fine and, unfortunately, gets compared to The Wire too often. They are completely different shows.
The Wire is king, and it'll stay the king.

Breaking bad is the best show ever made. It was compelling from start to fInish. Sapranos had some dull moments in middle seasons for me.
Sopranos was repeating itself from season 3 to 5

Then you've never watched the Wire
Prison Break is top 3

Mr Robot has a decent cult following. It just doesn't get mainstream recognition from the press.
It is easily a top 5 series this century. But this is Mojo who would put Friends as being the best series in the last decade. All they care is popular opinion, not quality.

Mr Robot Is a lost jewel that only few have seen and appreciate it
Hell yeah Mr. Robot. So many clever episodes. Like the One-Take episode and the one with I think two lines of dialogue.
How about The Pacific
Wooaaaah you included dark a man of quality
Person Of Interest is a criminally underrated show that deserves a spot in this list.
person of interest is one of my favourite shows ever, too bad it never got the recognition it deserved
Indeed. It has several episodes in Top IMDB List so for me it should be at least in the top 10 of this video. But yeah as you said it is criminally underrated.
The mentalist as well
Ob my god, each and every comment I see, someone is recommending something which I have never even heard of😭😭😭
I agree, excellent show. The way the plot begins to pick up and change during the 1st few seasons is perfect.
I’m not arguing with this list, but I’m here to make some recommendations! The 100 s1-4, The OA, hand maids tale, FEAR TWD, last of us, queen of the south, BANSHEE, warrior,are all some of my re watchable favs not mentioned. A couple of these are lacking in later seasons.. but the first several seasons are great. Also HTGAWM is a secret fav of mine because viola Davis is bomb.
definitely agree about The Wire... but I think Better Call Saul & Dexter deserve a mention at least
For ppl looking for new series, here's a list - true detective (season 1) - when they see us - mare of easttown - schitts creek - peaky blinders
Why do people that recommend True Detective always put "Season 1" in brackets? I never saw the show, nor do I know what its about. But I'd appreciate a spoiler free exppenation
@@ducamorisable true detective has different set of characters per season.. by far season 1 is a masterpeace 2 detectives just trying to solve a crime
@@oeldave Thanks for the info, sounds nice. I'll probably give it a go
@@ducamorisable season 1 got the best cast too
@@ShahveerCharna11 so are the other seasons bad?🤔an should I just not watch them?
Where is DARK? Or is it left out because it's German?
no ig it was left out cos it wasn't as great as the shows on this list
@@tarunsunil8015 dark isn't great ? DARK is so much better than Stranger Things
@@heathenthenoob9950 yeah thats a good point ig they overlooked it just like mr robot, rick and morty,peaky blinders,better call saul and fargo
tarun sunil No Rick and Morty. Just no, one of the most overrated shows of all time
@@tarunsunil8015 man u dont know shit
Breaking bad, better call saul, game of thrones, peaky blinders, dark, squid game, money heist, how i met your mother, friends
My 20, in no order: The Office It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Titus (underrated af) Six Feet Under Modern Family Arrested Development The Boys Breaking Bad Game Of Thrones Better Call Saul Parks And Recreation Dexter Sons Of Anarchy Gotham Wentworth Criminal Minds Community The Righteous Gemstones Shameless Oz (1997-2003, that's 4 years out of 7 so it counts) Edit: Let me add, yes, something has indeed come close to filling the Breaking Bad void. It's called Better Call Saul and it is actually on par with its predecessor Edit2: updated because I have since discovered The Righteous Gemstones
Another Gotham fan!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!! One of the best shows ever
@@lifeisberserk9566 Cameron Monoghan put himself into the upper echelon of actors for me with his portrayal of Jerome Valeska. He got screwed by that silly twin storyline but he nailed the part. My god. Make that man The Joker already, he's earned it.
Hannibal, Better Call Saul, Mr. Robot, Prison Break, Narcos tho.
Fr tho
to be fair, Prison Break season 1 might be the best season of all time ever, but the complete show is....good.
Hannibal is, hands down, has the best writing I've ever seen in a TV show. I haven't even finished it and I'm amazed with how good it is.
Peaky blinders as well
@@sanji1259 season 1 and 2 were amazing season 3 was ok season 4 and 5 were pretty good
The only reason dark isnt here is because it never came into existance after the series finale
Nah, it's because americans are too self centered.
This list is for americans, as usual, blind to the masterpieces of foreign shows.
lol man.
People from the USA (cause america is a continent) can't read subtitles
@@alexisferdinandcalugay3461 List some,"masterpieces."
I noticed that the rating on IMDb for a show is a rating given as a whole and not the average rating of all the episodes as I always thought it was. So, me being me, I added up every episode rating and divided it by the number of episodes to get an average and it makes for a very interesting read. I only looked at the following shows and ranked them from highest to lowest. - Breaking Bad: 9.03 (62 episodes) - Mr. Robot: 9.01 (45 episodes) - Better Call Saul: 8.86 (50 episodes) - The Leftovers: 8.86 (28 episodes) - Game of Thrones: 8.83 (73 episodes) - Peaky Blinders: 8.81 (30 episodes) - The Sopranos: 8.70 (86 episodes) - The Wire: 8.68 (60 episodes) - Mad Men: 8.48 (92 episodes) Breaking Bad had a rating of 9.43 for its final season (16 episodes) and is the only series with an episode rated 10/10 (Ozymandias). Mr. Robot had a rating of 9.32 for its final season (13 episodes). Game of Thrones had an average of 9.06 if we exclude the final season. The final season of Game of Thrones had an average of 6.33 (6 episodes). I've excluded Chernobyl as this is a miniseries with only 5 episodes and should rather be compared to shows like Band of Brothers, The Pacific, etc. However, one of the best shows that I've watched with an average rating of 9.60 across the 5 episodes.
Thanks appreciate your hard work 😃😃
Amazing man, thank you. I wish a list like that but with more tv shows in it
But IMDb's rating are manipulated. You need to look at the arithmetic mean score. For example, Ozymandias has a score of 9.1.
Glad that the sopranos got the respect it deserves. Even though i prefer brba but sopranos was in the mind of the creators of brba while creating it. I give it to nostalgia
Yeah sopranos and breaking bad are absolutely masterpieces that deserve to be any top show list. But neither ever had the right to be ranked above the wire🤷♂️the wire is truly the greatest show ever made
You forgot to mention ; Westworld The OA Twelve monkeys Banshee American horror story Why women kill Black mirror The 100 Outlander Sense 8 Good girls Impulse How to get away with murder Orange is the new black Better call Saul These are great masterpieces
Dexter definitely needs to be in there and Sons of Anarchy is not just an Honourable Mention
👎no
Yes
YES
Yes
Το Dexter είναι για το μπούτζο!
Lost was my obsession. I sooo loved that show. The Wire kinda broke me inside for awhile.
Love to see the Americans on list, an underrated and watched show
Dark. Best time travel depiction in any media and an awesome character-driven story. Complete in 3 seasons, 26
I was hoping to see someone mention dark ,there is nothing like this show ,dark is the standard now
This is a good list. It's very hard to nail down the top 20 shows when we're living in the golden age of television. However this list made me realize no one watched Black Sails, and it's a damn shame
Is it good? Is it boring? I saw tue trailer and it looks good i am gonna put on the list and watch it as soon as possible
Im in the second episode I seem not to understand it yet,I'm only seeing it cause someone said it's good,n I'm just here to see if there's any other I should see
yes very good! and shield and hannibal with amd mikleson
Lmao If Dark and Peaky Blinders haven't made the list, I rather not take any suggestions from this video😢
Here comes a dumb casual
Το Dark ήταν για το μπέο!
@@nickpolycandriotes1484 what does it mean??
The rock music throws the whole thing off for me
@King Brilliant You lost me with the hammy acting.
When The Sopranos first came out on HBO there was NOTHING like it ever before! They changed the course of history forever
Until Breaking Bad stomped it into the ground and steered it off course
@@silkroad1201 😂 breaking bad literally doesn’t come anywhere near the genius of the sopranos. I bet ur young
@@silkroad1201 not at all
@H. G V the wire comes close, im note sure, i can’t choose between the wire n sopranos, they’re on the same level for me.
@@lucarossi9453breaking bad is slightly better than the sopranos. But neither should be called “the best show ever” because the wire is obviously the best show ever made. It insulting to put any show above it in my opinion. But breaking bad and sopranos are top ten shows ever as well. All are masterpieces
WatchMojo never fails to disappoint with their god awful lists.
There should be a subtitle of most “Popular Best Shows”. Meh.
It cant be most popular, I literally haven't even heard of half of these shows
Even if it's the most popular, it's missing out on big names like big bang theory, modern family, walking dead etc
I've watched 16 of those shows and it's nowhere near as good as Mr robot that's show is a freaking masterpiece
Quarantine got you watching everything huh?
@@T.GLongstaff If it took him til quarantine watch most of those hes not a true tv fan. Quarantine makes you give ok shows a shot. The greats should already have been seen.
Nah I've been watching for a long time now. I may even have a problem because am not able to accept reality now I just live through those shows
Game of thrones and Breaking bad are miles better than mr robot
JACOB LOVINS please don’t make me laugh **whiterose voice
Band of Brothers is number one - no one in their right mind will deny that.
My top picks to binge watch Breaking Bad Better call Saul Ozark
Game of Thrones didn't "quite stick the landing", huh? That's the understatement of the century.
You k know, i think you should see my just uploaded video on my Best Tv Series.
A lot of shows didn’t either including The Sopranos, which had one of the most underwhelming endings possible.
@Unbreakable Patches You think that's what people think is wrong with GoT?
@Unbreakable Patches Not the point, buddy.
Unbreakable Patches I haven’t even watched Game of Thrones and I know that’s not the reason people where mad
If The Sopranos, The Wire and Breaking Bad aren’t in the top 3-5 spots, it’s not a real TV list
For me, Breaking Bad is still the first.
Theyre 1, 2, and 3 lol good call
The Wire>all other shows combined. And I've seen BB 5 times. The Wire is just better but it's not really comparable, completely different shows
The way I see it 1. Breaking bad 2. The wire 3. The sopranos
@@carachamadofinger4640 naw the wire is the best show ever easily. Followed by game of thrones and then mr robot for me. Sopranos are breaking bad are for sure top ten though
I'd take a lot of the stuff out towards the end and add Boardwalk Empire, Sons of Anarchy, Dark, Mr.Robot & without a doubt Better Call Saul.
24, Prison Break, Dexter should be on top 10. Alias, Fringe, House M.D should be in top 20.
OZ opened the door for all the HBO shows, not even having a honorable mention is disrespectful.
I thought Oz was in the nineties??
@@availanila so was the sopranos, but its in this list.
@@darksunlight100 oh I guess it's unfair then. I honestly watched OZ starting from around five and the Sopranos from around ten. Clearly one had a impact on me and seems more 90s in my aging brain.
It's great seeing The Leftovers so high. A very underrated piece of television, especially seasons 2 and 3.
honestly thought it'd be higher than BB.. 'Certified' is the best piece of art I have ever seen among both movies and TV. HBO truly made some great shows.. The Wire, The Leftovers, Sopranos, Watchmen, Chernobyl, GoT (first few seasons), Curb, SFU.. etc.
Season 1 and 2 were good, 3 was not it sorry
@@AndheriGuy wait what?🤔the leftovers is very good too 15-20 show I’ve ever seen. But “the best ever” no way in heck it should ever have that title. The best show ever made is obviously the wire
I honestly think Smallville has to be on here, it was consistent the whole time, and paved the way for superhero shows that really showed more of a light on superheroes, rather than just showing us a superhero in his cape that just saved people.
There's been so many great shows over the years you can still have an amazing show that falls short of the Top 20.
Best show of all time for me
No 1 was GoT and you know it! Even if the ending was horse manuare. It opened the door for film quality televesion.
Let‘s call this list the Top 20 of the best AMERICAN tv shows of the century
Yeah bro!! Like they didn't even add Queen Sono or Blood and Water
@@amadeusmalonje8263 Queen Sono? Aowa chief
Because they are...
Nobody has the time to watch everyone else's shows though most of us work 40 hours a week. Like if they could the Romance of the Three Kingdoms show would've made it.
@@theromalepe8600 lol I'm just messing dude
I'm halfway through the Sopranos and it is a fucken masterpiece
Same I'm just about to watch The Pine Barrens episode
the sarcastic one great episode
hands down #1.
The Sopranos is an easy number one
Omg I’m almost finished it and it just gets better and better towards the end 😭
Better Call Saul, Chernobyl, True Detective, Fargo, Narcos, Peaky Blinders, Vikings, Dexter, Band of Brothers, should be there in top 20.
