[QUOTE="TheAlkaizer, post: 8296867, member: 7024893"] I don't watch a ton of shows because they're too time consuming. And I tend to be more critical than the average watcher I'd say. Most shows that people qualify as amazing I find good, and most shows that people quality as good I quality as barely mediocre. So, there's not many shows that comes to mind when I think about what the greatest shows are. However, there's one exception. It's my favorite show and I consider it almost perfect in most ways; [B]Mad Men[/B]. It cannot be stated enough how brilliant the writing is. It's a profound work that does not leans on eye-catching and surprising cheap drama to interest you, almost all its characters (primary, secondary or even tertiary) are well-developed, it manages to make most episodes have an arc and work on their own while also having season-wide (and show-wide) arcs for its characters and the general plot. I haven't watched the Sopranos yet, but it's on my list! Isn't it a full co-production between HBO and BBC? I'm pretty sure it was initially pitched to HBO and they seeked a production partner, ending up financing like 80% of the production of the first season. Even though I lived and breathed ASOIAF for years, I can't in good conscience count Game of Thrones as one of the best shows. A few of its seasons are among the best TV seasons I've watched and are highly respectful of the source material. But it really went downhill. Music, sets, costumes, acting and all that have been spectacular until the very end. But it can't be emphasized how bad the last two or three seasons were. They can still be enjoyed, tons of people did. But for me, it can't be a spectacular flight if your plane doesn't land. [/QUOTE]
