For me its probably got to be Game of Thrones (although the ending was so anticlimactic)
Noone has mentioned Avatar - The Last Airbender yet…? I thought that would be amongst the first answers.
Take my upvote, I am ready for more of this!
Although I think the perception of this thread is ruling out animated stuff.
I am not at all surprised that this is one of the most upvoted. Man, this show is just great in every aspect.
Breaking Bad was 10/10 the whole way through. Basically every other show has had bad episodes, bad plots, etc…
And Better Call Saul is equally great. Two best shows I’ve seen. Consistently high quality from start to end for both. That’s a hard thing to do.
Better Call Saul started as the answer to the plot holes in Breaking Bad. It’s a shame the writters abandon that and ended the show on a nothing note.
Rewatch the finale and try to understand why things go the way they do.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? The finale is only one part of a weak season.
There are no weak seasons in Better Call Saul.
Did you like that all the character building amounted to nothing? Jimmy, Kim, Lalo, Gus, Natcho all didn’t evolve or have any intresting endings that used their character. You could have replaced every of them with completely new characters during the final season and it wouldn’t change anything.
::: Jimmy decides to take responsibility for once in his life, when he could have tricked the system once more. It’s his greatest achievement. Kim does the same and works to repay her debt. Gus, we all know how his story proceeds in Breaking Bad. Lalo ends up being a real threat for Gus who barely escapes death. Really it seems like you didn’t watch the series. :::
Agreed, it is an amazing follow up.
Season 2 was definitely not 10/10, it was slow and annoying, maybe a 9/10… 😉
I remember watching the S5E15 finale and actually getting chills from the ending. Best show.

I’m disabled …
Leg disabled?
My tits, my tits are hot.
You’d best put seat belts on your ears, Roy, 'cause I’m about to take them for the ride of their lives!
The Wire is the best show ever made.
I liked being disappointed with a few episodes only to realize they are far better than most anything else out there.
Rewatched it recently and other than pagers and pay phones no longer existing it’s still great.
Correct.
This, I believe, is one of the least controversial positions in the 21st century. A masterpiece.
Pagers and phone booths stay in.
Where are my Firefly fans!?
You can’t take the sky from me.
Here, but it’s still too soon to talk about floating like a leaf on the … Ok I made myself sad again.
Instead, let’s talk about “Curse your inevitable betrayal!”
I don’t see anyone mentioning DARK yet.
Probably one of the absolute BEST series I’ve ever watched. The ending was SO good.
One of the media that I wish I could erase from my memories so I could experience it for the first time again
All of my this. Though a rewatch is also amazing because now you get to see all of the little details that were always there, but now make a LOT more sense!!!
I was stoked when season three started.
If was all so familiar, yet not quite the same.
Then half way through I realised I’d already watched it.
Superb.
Dense as fuck but so meticulously crafted. Still, as much as I sing it’s praises, I would only recommend it to a narrow selection of people.
Best ending and felt satisfying.
Firefly, and the accompanying movie, Serenity.
I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you
Severance. It’s only been one season, but goddamn it’s so good. It’s an amazing premise with some absolutely brilliant writing. The cast is amazing.
Brilliant show. Really want season 2
I hear not good things about season 2 😐
Season 2 isn’t even out
I can tell you not good things about season 2 even if it isn’t out. Season 2 will eat whatever it finds in your fridge and put what it doesn’t finish back in a different location. I’ve never met a dog or cat that liked season 2. Season 2 has a weird smell that reminds you of the first time you felt homesick and knew you could never go back home.
That’s the not good thing. Would he better if it was?
According to recent reports, there has been behind-the-scenes drama during the filming of Severance season 2, which has led to delays in the show’s return[1][2][3][5][6]. The drama reportedly involves a falling out between the show’s co-showrunners, Dan Erickson and Mark Friedman, which has led to scrapped scripts and a complicated workplace environment[3][5][6].
However, director Ben Stiller has refuted these reports, saying that everyone is working together to make a healthy work environment and that everything is going slowly but smoothly[1]. Stiller has also hired Beau Willimon to work on the show, which has led to speculation that he may be replacing one of the co-showrunners[3][5].
There is currently no release date for season 2, and the longer the delays continue, the less likely it will be that the cast can come together in a timely manner[6].

It’s so hard to choose between Star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek, or Star Trek… 🤔
Definitely star trek
My first full run of DS9 is going so well. What’s amazing is the amount of single fatherhood in the show.
Alright, lets start the controversy… Discovery you can easily skip but Enterprise is always rated too low.
I’m torn between Battlestar: Galactica and Dark. The first one is definitely my favourite space opera of all time. But the mind-blowingly intricate plot of Dark makes it the one of the best mysteries ever told I’d say.
Can’t let Adventure Time go unmentioned. The first season was a little silly, but after that, I found that I was basically free to interpret most of the episodes and plot lines with as much depth as I could want. One of the few shows out there who’s ending made me sad not because the writers wanted me to, but because I knew it was leaving an empty place behind in my soul.
The first three or so episodes were absolute cringe, but the rest of the series is 100% quality material with some surprisingly deep lore and super interesting subplots all the way through. Plus sillyness, but on the right level to not be cringe.
Everyone who wants to give that show a shot should know this, because you need to watch at least six or seven episodes before judging the show, instead of giving up immediatly after the awkward start. It gets better - by a LOT.
The Wire. It’s the only show I’ve watched more 3x and it got better with the rewatches. No show has come close to the raw grit. I may be biased because I lived in Baltimore for a few years though.
I think most TV shows overstay their welcome when they go past 5-6 seasons and run out of ideas.
Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad are my next two favorites.
Based on this, maybe check out Snowfall next…
True Detective Season 1
Red Dwarf
Skip over Blackadder for Red Dwarf?
Not as cunning as a rotten turnip, you.
Yep, Game of Thrones. People get hung up on the hellishly stupid last season, but we spent the better part of a decade talking about it around the water cooler. The world was sucked into it.
I feel like that’s a bit of a cop out to say “it was good except for the last season”. That statement is true, much of GOT of absolutely S-tier stuff, but the last season was also part of the show. That’s like saying “that meal I was the best I ever had”, and when your friend asks “what about the chef’s eccentric decision to put dog feces on the potatoes?”, you replying “oh don’t get hung up on that, it was the best meal I had, but you have ignore that part”, if it was on the plate, it was on the plate.
I adore the first few seasons of Community, but would never in a million years (like Game of Thrones) say it’s the best show I’ve ever seen because they both have garbage parts, that as unfortunate as it is, are legitimate parts of each of them.
Haven’t watched GOT. The last season is what’s been keeping me from watching it.

The first four seasons are the best thing that has ever been on TV.
Season 5-6 are like… They lost track of what made it great and went for spectacle, it was good if that’s what you are into.
Season 7 was bad.
Season 8 was actually offensive. It’s not just a meme that it made everything that came before worse.
If you have never watched it, watch s1-4, and tip your toe in s5-6, dont go any further.

I just really hate knowing that I won’t have a proper ending or I’ll have to make one up myself. I’m not sure investing my time in something like that is worth it.
It probably isn’t. Which is such a shame because you’re gonna miss out on 40 episodes of legitimately some of the best TV ever made. But that makes the let-down so much worse when it comes.
Yeah… I’d say watch it and just enjoy the first 3–5 seasons which contain arguably some of the best television ever made. Things start to do downhill as the writes had less and less source material to work off of, but season 6 is ok. Season 7 I think is bad. It’s mostly just setup for the last season which failed miserably, and I think it would have been good had they managed to pull through with 8. Idk. Maybe just make up your own ending after watching the first 6–7 seasons.
If half of the seasons of a series are bad, and the last one is the worst in TV history it can’t be a good series. The first few seasons can’t rescue that Trainwreck
The first 4 seasons of GOT are some of the best in TV history. Seasons 5-6 are good, but that’s when some of the tropes start to get overplayed and you see corners being cut. I should have stopped then, but I still had hope that they would rescue it. Nope.
the problem I have is that while I agree seasons 1-4 were brilliant, I simply can’t watch them again because of how it ended. simply knowing how bad it became is enough to tarnish those seasons because the things they were setting up, simply didn’t matter. like at all
