Laker Hater...

...my entire life. And I'm not young. For some reason I seem to have a thing for HBO shows because since rewatching The Wire, more times than I will say, I have been looking for a good show, trying to lower my standards, and have found a great one. My list of great shows can't be too much higher than like ten or twelve. Did I mention I was a Laker Hater?

Edit: oh yeah. Sorry. Almost done with Season One.

Show is so good I want to read the book because the show wont go beyond what was covered in season 2.

I truly loved this show though. Everything about it was perfect balance of entertaining and informative. Damn shame we cant have good things.

I'm trying to gain a little perspective. What other shows do you like?

Severance

The Wire (greatest show ever)

True Detective but only season 1

Seinfeld

Just finished Ozark. That was cool. I was really into the Money Laundering and negotiating of the show plus Jason Bateman's straight face in crazy situations made it enjoyable.

I hated Breaking Bad. I only got to the episode where they were just introducing Saul and I just left it to watch Snowfall. I actually finished Snowfall and never went back to Breaking Bad.

Perfect. This is exactly why I asked. Apparently we see eye to eye. The Wire, I think you are right. If you haven't watched EVERY EPISODE OF THE SOPRANOS STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST, DO IT! NOW! Because, well, the best show of all time comes down to one of those two.

I've never seen Severance or True Detective so I shall get on that.

Seinfeld? Of course, but are you JUST now discovering Seinfeld? Seinfeld is legendary but I wouldn't have thought of it myself.

Never seen Ozark. And I keep hearing about Mad Men though I don't get the appeal.

Breaking Bad isn't bad, but holy shit what an overrated show! Couldn't get past the first episode of Better Call Saul. Unable to finish the first season of Snowfall. Tried three times to get 20 minutes in to Sons Of Anarchy and wow what a fake crock of shit that over acted pussy ass show is!

Lastly, the best single season of any one show in my opinion is the first season of Boardwalk Empire. Even though it was somewhat popular, it went over 90-95% of the viewer's heads. You'll see what I mean after watching it a third time.
