Wait I just realized. How you have Ozarks in this but not Boardwalk?
Ozarks is mid to be honest. Its boosted by it being on Netflix where everything else is slightly below average to trash. Its decent veiewing but it shouldn't be on this list. If you need something from netflix than Orange is the new black is better than Ozark. Stranger things is even better

Bang Bang Packers gang!
As shytty as GoT season 8 was, the show is still goat tier from previous seasons so thats an auto pick for me cuz no show is seeing GoT in its prime. While Sopranos was dope, I had to go Breaking Bad for my 2nd choice cuz i kept craving episodes when one would end.

Sniper out now on all digital platforms brev
Only Season 5 of The Wire you can argue is bad...S2 isn't at all

S2 is major heat. I’ll argue this til I die.

Sopranos
Mad Men
Succession
I really fukked with Mad Men. The pace, the writing, the characters.
I haven't watched Breaking Bad fully yet so may need to go back to that. I don't like fantasy so couldn't fukk with game of thrones, I watched season 1 but it never hit with me.

Yes, and Yes.
Atlanta, especially if cotdamn Barry is on the list. The writing and direction are top tier. The fact the the show is not as serialized as the rest, with weird narrative structures, etc - Alot of these shows have those elements in them.
Lost - I'd say that Oz was the beginning of "Prestige" TV. But Lost brought that to mainstream TV. If you're gonna include True Detective S1 and Game of Thones, Lost gets in there for sure.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer might deserve a look as well.
There's a line between a good TV show and "Prestige" TV - which I might think of as spending Movie Money on a TV show.
Cause when Mad Men was popping, it wasn't like NBC wasn't trying to do their own AMC type shows.
Sci fi
I was the biggest proponent of Atlanta in this thread, I 100% agree. I got tired of the argument so just made its own category
Went with Breaking Bad and Sucession
True Detective's hook was the HP Lovecraft Elements.
