Just reading that the one slightly bizarre scene in the finale ("come on Pod, let's go for a beer") is due to Lena Headey and Jerome Flynn both having contractual terms to not be in the same scene due to an acrimonious end to their relationship together.
Seems very extreme for two professional actors. Surely they could just, well, act!

The top 5 list is tricky for me. GoT, The Wire and Breaking Bad have to be in it (and would try to sneak Better Call Saul in with BB, which I possibly like even more), but there are some older series which also deserve a place, despite looking dated now.
For example, I don't think we'd have GoT without Rome having broken some ground first on the nudity/violence levels.
The original House of Cards trilogy (with Ian Richardson) was incredible viewing, particularly at the time it was first shown (end of the Thatcher era).
The first series of Murder One was the first US crime series to run a single case through a whole series (i.e. No resolution at the end of each episode) and Stephen Bochco also gave us Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue (and LA Law, which looks so cheesy nowadays but was essential viewing at the time).
Boys From The Black Stuff. Haven't watched it for years but it was incredibly powerful (only 6 episodes though so probably too short).
This Life was superb.
Auf Wiedersehen Pet is an all time favourite too.
In short, I can't narrow it down to 5 but it's very easy to overlook older programmes in these lists.
NB: Still working through The Sopranos, hence it not being on the list. It bypassed me originally, for some reason.

No wire spoilers please, I'm gonna give it a go.
Not sure you're allowed to call 'no spoilers' on a series that's 15 years old.
There must be a line but 15 years sounds about right for not having to worry about saying the wrong thing?

We've kept everything vague Red don't worry.
I liked it when BLANK murdered everyone in the entire police station including all the main characters with a BLANK, for example.

I'm pretty certain that if Deadwood had carried on to a proper conclusion it would've been in my top 3.

Just waiting for work on the movie to get going.

Quite a few mentioned on here that I liked - of some not mentioned I really enjoyed Vikings and easy to recommend some Nordic Noir, perhaps the Bridge as I particularly enjoy the female lead performance . Just love Scandis, ancient and modern

Just watching the bonus features from the boxed sets, totally engrossing, almost as good as the programme itself.

I absolutely loved everything about Deadwood. I just hope the film does it justice.

Final season not great. The rest of them are up there as my favourite show ever. The books are good too as they go differently to the TV series
