    What are your personal favorite TV shows of all time? Not necessarily what was popular, although that's fine, but your own personal favorite TV shows. List any number of them. Any decade, any genre. For me, it's a clear winner, Farscape. Not just the best sci-fi show of all time, simply the best TV show ever made.

    What are yours?

    Off the top of my head, in no particular order:
    • Breaking Bad
    • S1 of True Detective
    • Band of Brothers
    • Raised by Wolves
    • Fargo
    • South Park
    • Always Sunny in Philadelphia
    • The Office
    • The IT Crowd
    • What We Do In the Shadows
    There are some that started off phenomenally and just fell apart like Deadwood, True Blood, Lost and GoT. I counted S1 of True Detective in my list because of the format of one story per season. I enjoyed The Sopranos but after a rewatch it just doesn’t make my list.
