For me its probably got to be Game of Thrones (although the ending was so anticlimactic)
The Good Place
That show is a philosophical masterpiece
It’s also breakneck paced, batshirt unpredictable, and forking delightful.
Also the season 3 and season 4 finales had me bawling.
I think it dragged on in places, but the ending was an absolute masterpiece. My fear was a half-assed resolution, but they had clearly planned how to end the show, and everyone’s ending was perfect and final.
This was going to be my answer! I have other shows I love, but this one is just great beginning to end.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !thegoodplace@lemmy.world
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.
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.
Agreed, it is an amazing follow up.
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.
of the live action shows, breaking bad is my favorite as well. el camino and better call saul are also incredibly good.
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.
The Expanse, hands down.
100% agreed and I’m not biased at all, can just ignore my username <_<
Amos is such a good character! I only read the books and pictured Amos as Alan Tudyk.
Fosho, kopeng!
Mi beratna, koyé?
Mr. Robot. Even though I didn’t love the ending as much as most people did, that show as a whole was just so well-made.
Yeah Mr Robot was really good and a lot of the hacking scenes are in-line with the actual reality of hacking IRL.
It’s also very good at depicting social anxiety. I’ve never seen it depicted in anything before, but it’s very accurate.
I really liked season 1 I just couldn’t get into or past season 2 at all.
I have a friend who feels the same, but season 2 is the weakest season. If you can manage to get past it, seasons 3 and 4 are excellent.
At one point it became so boring that I could not watch it. Specifically when they try to go physically in building and hack it , I did not understand why they have to show his mental parts and what not. I could not waste anytime on it any more.

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.

Pop pop!
Came to upvote this, some of the funniest writing and acting on a show that just gets better with time
Fat dog for midterms!
It is not made up, it is not made up!
+1. Even if not objectively “the best”, it is definitely my favorite and is very unique and underrated.
I loved Scrubs when it was on.
An 8 series run of a fantastic TV show.
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!”
Better Off Ted.
Or Dirk Gentlys Detective Agency.
Honestly though Better Off Ted probably wins it because its the best comedy show I’ve ever seen and NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN IT
Sad that dirk gently got cancelled when it did
If you like Dirk Gently you’ll probably like Mrs. Davis
Sounds interesting. I’ll check it out!
And if you like dirk gently you will probably also like maniac
Yeah I didn’t like maniac
I’ve seen it. When Lem tried to kiss his date in front of the apartment I lost it. To this day it’s one of the very few scenes I rewind a couple of times for the sheer comedy gold.

And it has a heart to it that’s kinda sweet
I’ve seen it! It’s so so good!
It’s so hard to choose between Star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek, or Star Trek… 🤔
Definitely star trek
You’re out of your mind if you think it’s Star Trek and not 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.
Scrubs - I maintain that the “9th season” was a spinoff. It was called Scrubs: Med School. Scrubs as a whole series (1-8) is unbeatable.
Stranger Things - it just seems to hit all the right notes. Especially season 4. There were some episodes in that season that were just perfect.
Would you have liked Scrubs 2.0 if it was a spin-off?
I enjoyed it.
I also enjoyed it as a spinoff. Didn’t fit with the rest of the show, but was good for what it was.
I agree. It was a totally different setting with a massive change in cast. But I liked it a lot. I forget most of it, but I remember looking forward to the blonde ‘dry serious/crying in the shower’ student. I liked her dynamic.
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 literally cried out in pain when then last episode ended and I realized season two was not (yet) available. Then I learned season 2 might not actually happen and I got waaaaay more depressed about it than one would expect about a TV show I spent two nights binging.
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?
