For me:

1. Breaking Bad
2. The Sopranos
3. Better Call Saul
 
1. Breaking Bad, by a wide margin.

2. Dexter. Shame there's only 4 seasons.
Yes, there only is 4 seasons.

3. I really don't have a third pick.

House of Cards had two great seasons, with a 'meh' 3rd season, and we all know what happened with the 4th season.

Sons of Anarchy had two great seasons, then it became the most inconsistent show ever. A 'meh' 3rd season, and great 4th Season, and a trash 5th season, a good 6th season, and absolutely horrible final season with one if the worst series finales ever.

The Wire.... I hear its fans call it the GOAT, but I just don't see it. It took me three attempts to get through the first season, and that last attempt it was about as painful as what I imagine what its like watching a recent Disney+ Star Wars series.
And I hear thats one of its best seasons.

Mad Men... got through the first season... and like The Wire I got through it and I was like '"I'm good." No interest in watching anything more.

Sopranos... watched 3 seasons, and it never 'hooked' me and with all the praise I've heard about it I kept watching to see when it would hook me. Never happened.

Better Call Saul... I consider Breaking Bad the GOAT but still debating if I should watch BCS because after watching the first 7 or 8 episodes I was bored. Most of Breaking Bad wasn't exactly fast-paced but BCS was a slog. Figured I watch it after it wraps and gauge if I should watch it if it was received well, and I'm still debating if I should.

Peaky Blinders... haven't seen it, though I've heard good things.

Very nice break down. And I totally agree with The Wire. It's just too slow of a burn for me to get into it.

I have only watched Sopranos, Wire, and some of SOA, and not even in their entirety. Guess they win by default.
 
Sopranos

How high in BB on your GOAT list?
Click to expand...

#2 or #1 depending on my mood. BB and BCS are basically tied for me at #1.

Sopranos at #3.

I haven't seen enough of the others to judge. i tried to watch SoA but it seemed like a trashy soap opera. I want to check out the Wire at some point, i've heard a ton of hype for that one.
 
  1. The Wire
  2. Breaking Bad
  3. The Sopranos
  4. Mad Men
...
9. Sons of Anarchy (LOL why is it even being compared?)
 
The Wire
The Sopranos
And it's tough to choose between Better Call Saul and Peaky Blinders
 
As I've only watched 4

Breaking bad
First season of house of cards
Better call Saul
Dexter


The res of house of card.

I never understood the attraction with SoA, I thought it was awful. Great cast but man was it stupid.

First couple seasons were great...then Kurt Sutter went off the rails creatively, put too much focus on his wifes character (Gemma), went overboard on shock value and stupidly unrealistic action sequences.
