Oh yeah, should we be ranking House of Cards? It kicked off the streaming prestige era really…where shoud we if so? Ive watched only a little of it.
Kevin Spacey being a creep killed the shows momentum:francis: it was def on track till the show was forced to get rid of Frank due to Spacey’s bullshyt:francis:

But before that season it was literally an achievement in television history. I’m not down with it any lower than elite. I took it down from Pantheon.

No Battlestar Galactica on that list :unsure:
I mean it's not the best but it should be on the list

The Wire and The Sopranos are my favorite 2.

Succession is terrific. Kind of hard to compare since they are different types of shows.

Game of Thrones from seasons 1-4 was up there in my top 3 favorites. 5-6 were a step down in writing and storytelling but I still liked them. 7 and especially 8 though, just turned into a rushed mess.

The second season of Friday Night Lights disqualifies it even though the seasons after it were great.

And if we’re talking sci-fi then The Expanse deserves a spot on the list.

I don't like this idea of comparing Eras , we should do shows by decades. Game of thrones was it's own Era. WE in the succession/Yellowstone/Mandalorian Era now.

Mandalorian is Cleary only selling toys now so it's out.

Yellowstone had a strong first two seasons, a hell of a season 4 premiere but then ran in place for much if it's later run.

Succession had a weak third season but ultimately best of the bunch.
