The Sopranos, with Band of Brothers a close second.

Band of Brothers is amazing, had to get the steel case with blurays when it came out.

Game of Thrones has been a fantastic series, it's a shame that recent seasons have been a huge failure.

 

[JonDoeJr.]

Boardwalk Empire for me. Rome is a close second

 

[The Godless Fuckhound]

On another note, Chernobyl was a fantastic miniseries for me. The only other thing I had seen Jared Harris in was Mad Men, where he stood out to me. His work in Chernobyl is also solid.

And you can't go wrong with Stellan Skarsgard. Loved his character.

Likely minority on this, but did anyone else not enjoy GOT? I got through half of season 1 and had to stop watching.

 

[Billy Batts]

Entourage, Band of Brothers, Generation Kill and The Pacific.

 

[Billy Batts]

Entourage doesn’t get any love.

The Wire is tough to beat. Even the Docks season and the final season are better on rewatches. The way everything ends up being tied in together and the story coming full circle with the kids becoming the next generation. You end up feeling connected to every character on the show.

I have to say, finishing up The Sopranos, Junior "running" his poker games in the psych ward during the last seaon is just...hilarious and amazing. David Chase's sense of humor is absolutely the best.

Gotta go with Sopranos. It's the ultimate classic

The Sopranos with The Wire as a close second.

Ah, The Pacific was a different beast from BoB, as it shouldve been since Pacific Theater was hardcore vs European (imo)...Def taught me some shit though about Sledge and Basilone and Ira Hayes...

2 things that blow my mind about The Pacific: Sledge was played by the kid from Jurassic Park and Rami Malek went on to win an Oscar...shit is crazy...

As for Real Sex and Cathouse, I taped a few of those back in the day on vhs and practically wore out the tapes (pre internet days and before I was so savvy). Those sex retreats from Real Sex always made me laugh...good memories...ha

Had to pick Band of Brothers. I can still hum the entire theme and shed a tear over it. Such a powerful series. Chernobyl is a second, but only because of it being so carnally suspenseful and makes you almost feel like you're there being irradiated with the crew.

six feet under was fucking amazing, the last couple of episodes did things to me. also nikolai is the best character ever fight me
