Top 5 TV series

Also Gemma (Katey Sagal) is really really old in this one ... but i mean damn, i have to say hot milf material right there in the way she dresses, owns her sexuality and clearly has a big presence in the family!

Alpha Female behaviour, gotta love it

Sons of Anarchy:

Spoiler:

You've clearly never seen Spartacus then
That show has like more sex scenes in one episode than 99% of shows out there

anyone here seen that? i think i watched the first season only but cant remember how good it was

Spartacus was great, as long as you're down for the gratuitous sex and violence. Just don't go in thinking this is another Rome. Entirely different show.

It's also very over the top, kinda like Banshee. I loved both, but it's definitely not for everybody.

Goallegacy Population is waiting the comment of   one of the greatest here , our German brother @Hapless_Hans
What was your top 5 ?
You don' watch them ?  Nah, I saw you on series tv thread time ago
What about Deutschland 83 ? Asking for a friend

I loathe Deutschland 83

can only say this out loud here though as a friend was involved in production

Currently hooked to Fauda..An Israeli series about the struggle between Israel and Palestine.

I would definitely recommend it to those who like some spy , action and political story.

It's a netflix show so most likely.

HM: The Haunting of House Hill, Breaking Bad, and The Pacific.

The Pacific is superior to Band of Brothers; BOB falls in line with most of Hollywood superficial depictions of war- Honor, valor, commodity, good vs evil, etc.

The Pacific depicts war as hell on earth, those premises are meaningless.

Good to see someone give a shout to Haunting of Hill House

I considered it aswell

Haunting of Hill House was very satisfying. Very well acted and superbly directed. Oddly enough even had its moments of horror and did not go overboard like any horror film does, by exposure.


That episode at the funeral home with the one-shot camera was a masterpiece. Enjoyed the series.

I put it in the Honorable mentions mainly due to the fact it is 1 season, so it doesn't have a longevity. But it is without a doubt the best i have seen in recent years. It will be interesting to see if Mike Flanagan produces another hit in season 2 with Bly Manor.

Good argument on the Pacific.

Back on the Pacific argument, I agree. Pacific is more about the war and the mayhem, the reason Band of Brothers is more popular is because it tells you the story of a company from start to finish you get attached to them like you're a member of the Easy company travelling through their story.

Pacific on the other hand is individual guys with no glorification. I think its probably because Pacific is also a culmination of separate stories while BoB already had a few books on the company, plus those guys were still alive to give inputs when the series aired?

That said both were totally different types of wars. Pacific was quite a lot of mayhem and it has been excellently portrayed in the series.

Breaking Bad destroying this, get in lads can't see Band of Brothers below GoT.

Also Robes ignoring my B-9-9 plea

I really liked The Pacific but Band of Brothers is on another level. I didn't see a lot of good vs evil in BoB. There were a lot of gray areas in that show.

I think we should have miniseries in a different list. It's hard to compare them with multiple-season TV shows.
