No order:

The Office US
Friends
Band of Brothers
Scrubs
Psych

Honorable mentions: Narcos, Big Bang theory, How I met your madarchod (mother), Community, Supernatural(fuck u, before you ask me)

I'm pretty sure I forgot some of them. It's always a struggle since there's been so many and the memory is a deceitful bastard.

Hannibal - 7 years ago that was but I remember it as a masterpiece in my heart
The Killing - best murder and mystery imo
Sons of Anarchy - best twists and turns I've ever seen
Dark - best depiction of time travel
Dexter - best serial killer

HM: Fargo, Prison Break, Vikings, Bates Motel, Justified


I'd say GoT but that's so typical. The show definitely changed TV though and it's up there. Breaking Bad and LOST aswell, but again, that's too predictable.

Making this list now I realized I don't really rate Comedy that high so I'll just add a few that I liked: Fawlty Towers, Parks and Rec, Blackadder, 30 Rock, Barry (Bill Hader is a genius)

BTW Rotten Tomatoes users just picked Dark as the greatest Netflix Original. Everyone should watch it imo

Billions
Better Call Saul  
Sons of Anarchy
Dark
The Office US

Honorable mentions : True Detective 1.
Great but it's just 8 episodes ( TD2 and TD3 are different things, different cast etc ) so I give priority to other series.
Better Call Saul much better than Breaking Bad  for me , probably the absence of some irritating characters contribute to it.

Absolutely yes , I can't wait for 3th season in a month
Just need of a good recap before it because many things happen during two seasons...

@Myesmates i am on S01E02 of Sons of Anarchy, solid start but not sure if it was for me, i know it's still very early on but when do the big drama and twists and turns starts, and what can i look forward to? big gang fights? family drama? inner gang politics?

Game of Thrones
Breaking Bad
The Office (US)
Mr Robot
Scrubs / Prince of Bel-Air (sorry but can’t decide)

Still haven’t seen The Sopranos out of the most popular lists and I suspect it will easily enter my top 5 when I do watch it.

I remember it on every season basically, so I'd say soon . Best season is the 4th though. I loved this series

The Wire
The Shield
Sopranos
Breaking Bad
Band of Brothers

Incredible lack of the shield in this thread, can only assume most of you didn't watch it

probably has the greatest ending I've seen in a series

Don't give up on it. I wasnt also big on the whole bike gang thing but it's a brilliant show. Don't remember if it starts slow or not but S2, S3 and S4 are some of the best TV you'll see (but every season is great), I can guarantee you.

It's Breaking Bad level of good.

awesome, thanks Robes and Myesmates will continue with it, i remember James also hyping it up a lot a few years ago

sons of anarchy becomes hilariously bad mate

first few seasons were by far the best

It's hard to keep up the pace for 7 seasons (Dexter is another example, falls short after S04/5)

Even GoT didn't manage to carry it's high standard through all the later seasons

But S04-5 seasons are great

Who knows what woulda happend to Breaking Bad if they didnt stop at 5

Basically Sons of Anarchy should have stopped to 5h season.
Last 2 aren't worthy of the rest.
It's the typical Netflix production that 's forced to last more than enough. I say it as Sons of Anarchy fan, let's be clear. it's the reason why it's not on top 1 but anyway on my top 5 easily ( I did it in order of preference )

The Leftovers
The Wire
Fleabag
The Office (US of course)
Friday Night Lights

Scrubs
House
That 70s Show
Deadwood
Rome

Honorable Mentions: Outlander, Vikings, Narcos, Mad Men, Billions

This was actually rather hard. I've seen a ridiculous amount of TV shows so this makes this pretty much impossible on some level to rank them by pure quality. I ended up having to go on just pure enjoyment.

thanks for that heads-up, will watch up to S5

my honourable mentions are
Walking Dead (S1-4), Game of Thrones (S1-4), Lost, Justified, Archer

It's interesting that one of the most popular series in history has only had one mention so far.

It goes to show that GoT, though very enjoyable to some, doesn't in the long run leave a long-lasting impression on people.

Either that or their last season truly hurt the show and made people take the show out of their top 5.

The only thing worse than a show ending is it ending badly. That final season damaged GoT in ways none of the seasons leading up to it ever could.

dont listen to him, the ending is pretty good and last season is not much worse than the early ones. 83% on rotten for S07 which is solid (even 86% in audience rating), not the greatest finale but doesnt fall behind that much

i mean the 3 prior seasons werent as exceptional as the first 4 in the first place, but yea that last season was absolute banter

Friday Night Lights is a very good and very underrated show, I think. Many of the actors and actresses went on to star in bigger things at some point, but then most of them seemed to disappear from the limelight.
