Debate: Every HBO Show, Ranked (The Wire is NOT in the TOP 2)

[TimRock]

The Wire is probably the only show I can watch over and over and still feel like I don't know what's going to happen next.

The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency...If you haven't seen this, do yourselves the favor and find it.

 

[Jumbodicc]

the wire is number 1
period

 

[fu2]

List is bullshit if The Wire isn't #1.
Dream On was underrated too.

I'd watch Dream On now. I willing to call the whole list bullshit based off of that show alone. That and the low placement of Mr. Bean.

And Ballers should be higher too. It's the quintessential get in and get out 30 minutes of entertainment. And if you want, a very binge watchable show.

The Wire should be at least tied for number 1. ...and Carnivale should be higher on the list. That show was great and I'm still mad that it didnt get at least one more season.

 

[slam]

Deadwood #2 ....foh

wire #3 ....

The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency...If you haven't seen this, do yourselves the favor and find it.

Got the series on DVD. Jill Scott shows that she's as good of an actress as she is a singer (which, of course, is really good). She took the role and ran with it.

Looking at this list, HBO covers a lot of ground in terms of storylines, genres, periods of time, etc. It will be interesting to see what they'll come up with in the future.

[Ill Paragraph]

if it wasn't for season 8 this would've been #1

No it wouldn’t.

Anyway, any list that doesn’t have The Wire at 1 or 2 (at worst) is a joke. Deadwood isn’t even in the same atmosphere as either of those shows.

 

[Ill Paragraph]

1 Game of Thrones
2 The Wire
3 Sopranos
4 Oz
5 Rome

You cats rank GoT way too high. Even if the last couple of seasons weren’t terribly written, it clearly isn’t the best drama that HBO has produced.

 

[Tdot_firestarta]

That Is a GREAT list

I must completely dismiss unfortunately because deadwood ain't on it.

lol I need to give Deadwood another shot...wife and I watched the first episode recently and weren't really feeling it

 

[Simply Sickenin']

Deadwood over the The Wire. Sex in the City over Game of Thrones.
I don't know who made this list but that's funny.
And what's with The Larry Sanders Show being on the list but no Last Week Tonight or Chris Rock Show? And where is Spawn, Real Sex, etc.

1. The Wire
2. The Sopranos
3. Game of Thrones
4. Last Week Tonight
5. Oz
6. The Chris Rock Show
7. Everything else

I stopped reading st Entourage being ranked 69th

Wait Entourage was ranked where? Oh.

you gotta invest

 

[Duece]

I can name the HBO shows I watch on one hand and I've only watched The Wire once despite it being on my Plex server but that show is their greatest show and probably one of the best in TV history...
