Game of Thrones - Spoilers S8E6

[DaveShoelace]

Out of curiosity, if GoT and BB are #1&2, what is your #3 series of all time?

GoT is 5th for me:

1) The Leftovers
2) Breaking Bad
3) The Wire
4) Mad Men
5) GoT
6) Paul O'Grady's For The Love of Dogs

[Graham C]

Band of Brothers would be up there for me along with The Wire.

I'm not rating Paul O'Grady's For The Love of Dogs personally, but to be fair, I've not seen it

[Graham C]

Oh, and Friday Night Lights

GoT is 5th for me:

1) The Leftovers
2) Breaking Bad
3) The Wire
4) Mad Men
5) GoT
6) Paul O'Grady's For The Love of Dogs

So many people mention The Wire. Must give it a go.

Never heard of The Leftovers. Off to Google.

[RED-DOG]

Sounds like a crock of crap, but then I said that about Got.

Leftovers is very very very deep and occasionally funny. Can get very emotional.

The Wire I would suggest anyone who likes GoT should watch, even though the Wire is hyper realistic and GoT is dragons and shit, both weave together lots of very different groups of people and plot points together. Takes a long time to follow but well worth it. Plus if you miss Littlefinger, he is in it.

Out of curiosity, if GoT and BB are #1&2, what is your #3 series of all time?

Breaking bad barely scrapes my top 5 although I'm re-watching it at the moment and it's great.

GoT is great but I still prefer the wire and the Sopranos with Sopranos just edging it. GoT definitely has more WTF moments than any other series but it also has loads of bollocks that you have to get through to get to the good bits.

So the answer to your theoretical question 'IF' GoT and BB were #1&2, my #3 would be Sopranos.

[TightEnd]

The Wire: 1 for me

Sopranos, West Wing, Battlestar Galactica (the newish one),GoT my top 5 in no particular order

[RED-DOG]

Ooh! Forgot the Sopranos, I loved that.

I really liked Spooks for its realism and the fact that lead characters weren't safe.

[DaveShoelace]

I really want Red to binge watch the Wire now, and then a month from now start throwing in some random early 2000s Baltimore street slang into his Blonde posts.

[Graham C]

All this talk of the Wire, I'm going to have to watch it again me thinks.

I enjoyed docks way more than most for sure. Fucking Ziggy.

Probably the school system series is my fave.

Media one most will agree is the weakest, but I loved the final 10 minutes of the final episode with the bar scene, the montage and Bubbles going up the stairs (blub).

[RED-DOG]

No wire spoilers please, I'm gonna give it a go.
