A show about high school football is that good?
You take or leave the first season.
Second season trash.
Third and fourth season is about whether a black high school can go all the way will tim riggins and the coach's daughter are still on the payroll so you have storylines about them being messy. It's better than a lot of other things.

Yea, I watched the first episode off the strength of this thread and I can see why people like it. I just don't care about high school sports enough to get all the way into it. Whole ass town closing shop to watch pre-adults give each other concussions.:mjlol:

This is just as hard as the last time.

1. The Wire
2. BCS/BB
4. Atlanta
5. Succession.
6. Mr. Robot

My top 6, for now. Unless someone brings up something that I forgot

Not enough GOOD seasons to be considered

  • Severance - 1 really great season, who knows if this will ever finish. Between the actual show runners beefing and the writer's strike...
  • True Detective - 1 great season, the rest okay
  • Andor - If they can stick the landing, it will be some of the finest Sci Fi ever made. S1 of Andor and Rogue 1 are already 1 and 2 for best SW film/tv stuff ever made. Mando S1 would be #3 for me.
Not really in the running for me, but worthy of conversation
  • Sopranos
  • The Americans
  • Homeland
  • West Wing/News Room
  • Deadwood
  • Rome
  • Mad Men
  • Mindhunter
  • Marvelous Maisel/Fleabag
  • Top Boy/Luther
  • Ozark
  • Suits/White Collar/Monk - good shows, and had great moments, but not this level
  • Snowfall
  • Boardwalk Empire
  • Mare of Easttown
  • Barry
  • Girls
  • Fargo
Nerdy Fiction/Cinema
  • Sherlock
  • WestWorld
  • Twin Peaks
  • Dark
  • Black Mirror
  • Utopia BBC (haven't seen the Amazon version)
  • House of the Dragon
  • The Expanse
  • Silo
  • Handmaid's Tale
Ruined by the Ending
  • Game of Thrones
  • Lost (Well not for me, I liked the character driven ending, but it didn't answer a lot of questions)
  • Killing Eve
  • House of Cards
Haven't Seen/Finished
  • Narcos
  • Hannibal
  • The Deuce
  • Band of Brothers
  • Euphoria
  • Justified
  • The Shield (or Nip/Tuck)
  • White Lotus
  • The Bear
  • The Crown
  • Leftovers
  • 6 Feet Under
  • Downton Abbey
  • Peaky Blinders/Sons of Anarchy
  • Bosch
  • Billions
  • Industry
  • Buffy is supposed to be really good for it's time
Horrible and should not be in the conversation
  • Patriot
  • Firefly - eff this show
Pre-Prestige TV, but some of the prestige qualities.
  • Oz (which arguably started prestige cable dramas with cursing, violence, nudity, good acting, high drama - 7/12/1997 per google, so the past 26 years)
  • Dexter
  • X-Files/Fringe
  • Homicide/The Corner
  • Sex and the City

I need a rewatch but I wouldn't argue against it entering the top five.

Also, yeah I liked FNL but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

I agree, really good show but it was too one note to be top tier.
thats a good way of putting it.it shoulda been a movie, or a miniseries :yeshrug: im halfway through season 2, and i cant imagine watching two more seasons of these uninteresting a$$holes doing the same shyt in every single episode. true detective got it done in 10

this dude put it well

I haven't seen anyone mention Reservation Dogs yet, but if this next season keeps up the quality of the first two I think it'll go down as an all timer.

Friday Night Lights is overrated on the coli imo. Its good but top 10 of all time is pushing it.

I think Succession is a top 10 show, imo. I went back to season 1 and there was a lot of underrated aspects.
