    Mad Men easily. The first season is fine and the second season leans a little too hard on Draper being Confucius in a 3 piece, but after it’s so incredible. The last part of the last season I didn’t give a shit about anything except what Don was doing and it paid off fully, I love the ending

      2 of those are arguably more 2010s shows than 2000s and in any case, it's The Sopranos, followed closely by Mad Men

      >Draper being Confucius in a 3 piece
      kek, that's good

      The Sopranos. None of the rest even come close. Breaking Bad is honestly a dogshit show and shouldn’t even be up for consideration.

      BB is honestly very good, you don't have to hate on it just because it's popular. whatever it is, it's certainly not "dogshit"

    The Wire was great but felt like a chore to get through at times. Breaking Bad had a lot of cringe moments the more I look back on it. Besides how they split the final season I really enjoyed Mad Men so that's my pick.

      sopranos is at least one or two tiers beneath everything else in OP. it's good, great even, but it just doesn't have that edge

      I dont like breaking bad. I've always thought there was something lame about it. It reminds me of Sons of Anarchy in that it's basically a Soap Opera, and instead of 'we need to stop brown from getting the guns to black' you have characters talking to each other like anime villains.

      I also like Cranston and am happy for his success, but I don't find him compelling in BB in the least. I don't find him scary, I don't find him intimidating, and the whole show is basically capeshit.

      The Shield is a much, much better show. BB is sort of a capeshit soap opera that somehow got this bizarre mainstream push as the second coming of high fidelity entertainment.

      Do you even know what capeshit is?
      I have seen morons call lotr capeshit but this is a new level moronismo even for Cinemaphile

      The Wire > Mad Men but it's reasonably close.

      Breaking Bad is like a 4/10. Somewhat watchable but a slog at times and straight up moronic at others.

      Its not

      no, there's a reason why it was so popular among the masses. people are generally stupid and eat anything they are given.

      didn't like it either. nearly as repetitive as dexter, whiney main characters, not one person on it is likeable, and it is worse than most superhero stuff and feels like a guy playing with dolls and talking through them to each other.

        Yeah I always felt like Breaking Bad was Sons of Anarchy tier so it';s very funny when I see people shit on SOA but think BB is the greatest thing ever, like, homie it's the same thing just with a different coat of paint.

        I could only stand dexter for 2 seasons, but at least it was fun and had a hook, so those 2 seasons were great.

        SOA was fun for a season while you wonder if it's going to stick to what its pieces are or if it will come together as something greater than itself. Turns out it is what it is.

        Modern audiences have so much access to high quality entertainment that they are both getting more cultured and exploited. In the 90s, there was a big push for 'will they, won't they' where two leads are suggestibly close to pairing off. It's a tease for the audience, but it keeps their attention.

        The modern will they, won't they is if a show sticks to it's script or if it reaches an escape velocity to become something better than it's initial pieces. The Sopranos is a show that could have easily just been a fascinating black comedy, but some of the acting is phenomenal when it gets serious and touches real subjects. The Wire is absolutely Greek in its character structures, but also absolutely Baltimore in its authenticity--it's sort of god hooks on top of hooks on top of hooks.

        I don't think I hate BB. I just think it's boring compared to what has come before. It's uninspired.

        What I do hate is this modern media culture that crowns a new king even if it makes no sense.

      Yeah I had the same feeling, somehow towards the end I liked the show more, maybe because there was less of that cringe marvel dialogue but it's been a while since I've watched it.
      Show like The Wire and The Sopranos aren't perfect but at least they take themselves seriously.

    The shield. Yeah, frick your list. I'm rewatching Breaking Bad right now and it's not nearly as good as as shows like Sopranos, The Shield, Deadwood or Rome. I'm on season 5 and the first few episodes are better than all the other seasons, which isn't saying much. Skyler is the worst character I've ever seen in a tv show and I just want to skip every scene she's in.

    Mad Men was very clearly better than Breaking Bad (I haven't seen The Wire). BB is mindless slop, MM is for people who have an IQ above 100.
