So I'm at season two of this show... and it's quite good... but not really one of the "best shows of all-time" that i was hearing... i could do without the so many homo scenes... does the show get even better or does it get worse from season 2? Also... I'd like to know the opinion of everyone on this board... on which complete (or almost complete) show is the best ever. i will include Lost and The Office even though it has not ended, I think it is okay to judge it as complete. (one last episode will not make a good series turn into the best) oh and I will include 24 too. Please vote. Note... I did not include comedy shows.
I can't include the Office in best complete series when a third of it has been so inferior to the other parts I would nominate Arrested Development. Because Fox sucks so hard and cancelled it prematurely, there was never the opportunity for it to get stale. It went out on top.
Oops... how could I forget Battlestar Gallactica? Oh well.. just vote for Other if you think BSG is the best finished series of all-time.
Wait, I don't understand your post. Why are you including the office, if you say you're not including comedy shows? Also, why did you not include the office in your poll, after in your post saying you were going to include it?
I'm sorry, i thought I deleted The Office from my initial post... Comedy shows are not supposed to be included.
Guys, please disregard the fact that I posted "The Office" in my opening post. If you are going to vote for "OTHER" make sure you are thinking of a drama or action series... not comedy. I failed hard. wish I had the edit feature.
I was thinking of a comedy when I voted other And there's not a mother****in thing you can do about it
Please get The Wire. If you don't change your mind, at least you will have watched another great series.
I tried to watch The Wire...ended up falling asleep at some point through each of the first 3 episodes I guess I'm not much for crime/cop dramas.
couldnt choose between six feet under and rome. dexter and madmen should be right up there when they're done.
Episode 4 is actually where the series picks you up and doesn't let you down. I've recently made my roommate start watching the show and she agreed that that's the turning point. The Wire picks you up in episode 1, with no context, and drops you straight into the Baltimore police world. Some of the best writing and character acting done on screen happens in later seasons. The strength of the show lies in the writing since you find yourself empathizing with gay stick-up boys, dealers and heroin addicts before some police. That isn't to say there are not truly villainous street characters, it just makes you see that everything in urban America isn't cut and dry. I don't know, I'm extremely partial to that show. Whereas some series get silly/stale as they near the end of their run (The Office comes to mind in this thread), The Wire never did that and ended strong in season 5.
