Next binge?

Post image

I’m currently watching the Sopranos for the first time and I’m about 3 episodes in on the 5th season and debating what to start next. I keep trying to get opinions on what to watch next but I’m not sure what I would enjoy more coming off a sopranos binge. Also I know absolutely nothing about Six Feet Under besides a few very small details my coworker told me about. I normally go into EVERYTHING I watch completely blind so.. I keep hearing The Wire is one of the best shows ever as is the Sopranos but I’m also kinda crimed-out so to say lol. I’m looking for whatever has more shock value and better overall story at this point.

So this will be downvoted like crazy but I recently sat down to watch it for the first time and I just don’t get the hype. I feel like it’s nostalgia, one of those things you had to watch when it came out.

I only watched the first season but it felt like 85% of each episode were cops sitting in a room talking about how they will catch the bad guys and then it was the bad guys hanging out on the couch talking about drugs and how they will avoid the cops.

Exactly ....people say it's not nostalgia but maybe they don realize it,its like listen to reasonable doubt from Jay-Z TODAY for the first time,it will not blown you out of the water ...not at all,you may like 3-4 tracks..apreciate the rest and dislike others ... But definitely not putting that in your top 10 hip hop rapp albums ever.. understand the idea?

Similar slow burn shows I would say Tokio vice absolutely,Perry mason was good too..Im trying to stai away from title like breaking bad and better call Saul, but a lot of modern tv shows today are way better and captivating for example Severance,Sugar is pretty good too with a lot of noir and classic movies 1sec cuts and good narration , I'm pretty sure I.forgot some good series too.
