Attitude and early Aggresion, for sure. Best television ever produced. Thank God for Youtube because I don't want to have to pay to WWE Network to rewatch old AE and RAE.

It's good but gets overrated here, not even a top 5 from HBO. Also got cancelled.

Sopranos is good technically and innovative for its time, but sadly it's about Italians and I don't like watching black people.

Good list (ignoring LOST). X-Files and Banshee are both in my top 15.
>>211346342
Decent, Wire would be in my top 5 if it wasn't for the last season. Buffy's last kinda stinks too but it had more cultural impact in the long run. I don't like Mad Men tho.

Sopranos is fantastic but there's too much of it
The Shield was pretty fucking great but I thought it was weird how it was trying to do long-form storytelling while also being a crime of the week procedural
Oz was also great but too much Oz can be a bad thing

sucks now because they straight up tell the audience its fake. I can't suspend my disbelief when the show itself tells me i shouldn't care. Its like if i'm watching the sopranos and tony looks right into the camera and says "ohh ya know its justa tv show right?" How can i get invested? without kayfabe its too bad actors fake fighting with backflips

It's honestly exactly as good as people actually say it is, in that it's a very solid show overall with much higher quality writing and directing than is typical of TV in general and a good amount of variety of scenarios, but the actual mob drama stuff is gimmicky and there's no overall 'goal' of the show, which will disappoint people expecting that.

It isn't a show about having having a cohesive narrative that aims to tie up events and themes in a well planned out way, and you kind of have to accept that it's a 'seasonal' show in the the way that American dramas normally are and essentially a kind of elevated soap opera with really interesting characterization that goes into aspects of life a soap opera wouldn't.

Is The Shield worth watching for someone who isn't a punisher bumper sticker cop deep throater? Every scene looks like 2005 NFS most wanted cutscene.

What's so good about The Shield? It's the one show in the list I haven't watched. It looks procedural, is it? I hate procedurals.

It starts off procedural for 2 seasons but becomes more serialised as it goes. /tv/ likes it because itโ€™s edgy
