The franchise is kind of outdated to me. The schtick back in the day was a Cold War spy with the cool gadgets. You could introduce a jet pack no one had seen before or a mini jet or some cool research facility as a set, but nowadays people will have seen the gadgets way before the movie drops.

Daniel Craig did a great job reviving the franchise though and making it more modern.

Roger Moore is the classic Bond IMO. Lazenby [sic] was the best actor. Sean Connery had the swagger.

How to Make it in America should be on the list.

'Looking' Doesn't belong and is there to pander to gay people.

Rome should be on the list too.

The Corner and Show Me a Hero deserve to he higher.

GOT should arguably be in the top 5.

Just shows why this network is the GOAT when nikkas are talmbout what's not on the list and are absolutely right:wow:

List was definitely made by a youngin, because there's way too many current shows on there. I like Industry, but c'mon, that spot could have gone to a ton of shows. I hated the end of Game of Thrones...it's a top 10 show all-time, any network. Should easily be top-5 on HBO. Deadwood is top 7 at least. Curb Your Enthusiasm might be in the running for greatest comedy ever...these dudes clearly buggin. :dahell:

Lastly, fukk y'all nikkas, The Leftovers is #3:mjlit:

Lovecraft making the list is insane, watchmen and I may destroy you are way too high. Too much recency bias on this list in general.

I liked Oz for the first couple of seasons, but then they got incredibly lazy just making me angry at them writers.

Oz for the first 4 seasons was like easily top 10 of all time. But the rest of it? Yeah I don't know where I'd rate it.
