For me its probably got to be Game of Thrones (although the ending was so anticlimactic)
The Good Place
That show is a philosophical masterpiece
It’s also breakneck paced, batshirt unpredictable, and forking delightful.
Also the season 3 and season 4 finales had me bawling.
I think it dragged on in places, but the ending was an absolute masterpiece. My fear was a half-assed resolution, but they had clearly planned how to end the show, and everyone’s ending was perfect and final.
This was going to be my answer! I have other shows I love, but this one is just great beginning to end.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !thegoodplace@lemmy.world
Noone has mentioned Avatar - The Last Airbender yet…? I thought that would be amongst the first answers.
I am not at all surprised that this is one of the most upvoted. Man, this show is just great in every aspect.
Take my upvote, I am ready for more of this!
Although I think the perception of this thread is ruling out animated stuff.
The Expanse, hands down.
100% agreed and I’m not biased at all, can just ignore my username <_<
I may or may not have named my car “Peaches” in his honor. 🥰🤘🏽
Amos is such a good character! I only read the books and pictured Amos as Alan Tudyk.
Fosho, kopeng!

Upvote - but dude, don’t link to twitter posts that link to youtube videos…
I sometimes get the opposite hate by linking to YouTube; and this was just faster for me at the time.
I stand corrected.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I’m sorry, I should not have been so harsh. Basically I’m still thankful that you shared the links.
S’all good. As Shrek said, “better out than in.” You showed a preference and I can respect that.
Breaking Bad was 10/10 the whole way through. Basically every other show has had bad episodes, bad plots, etc…
And Better Call Saul is equally great. Two best shows I’ve seen. Consistently high quality from start to end for both. That’s a hard thing to do.
Agreed, it is an amazing follow up.
Better Call Saul started as the answer to the plot holes in Breaking Bad. It’s a shame the writters abandon that and ended the show on a nothing note.
Rewatch the finale and try to understand why things go the way they do.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? The finale is only one part of a weak season.
There are no weak seasons in Better Call Saul.
Did you like that all the character building amounted to nothing? Jimmy, Kim, Lalo, Gus, Natcho all didn’t evolve or have any intresting endings that used their character. You could have replaced every of them with completely new characters during the final season and it wouldn’t change anything.
::: Jimmy decides to take responsibility for once in his life, when he could have tricked the system once more. It’s his greatest achievement. Kim does the same and works to repay her debt. Gus, we all know how his story proceeds in Breaking Bad. Lalo ends up being a real threat for Gus who barely escapes death. Really it seems like you didn’t watch the series. :::
of the live action shows, breaking bad is my favorite as well. el camino and better call saul are also incredibly good.
Season 2 was definitely not 10/10, it was slow and annoying, maybe a 9/10… 😉
I remember watching the S5E15 finale and actually getting chills from the ending. Best show.
Where are my Firefly fans!?
You can’t take the sky from me.
Here, but it’s still too soon to talk about floating like a leaf on the … Ok I made myself sad again.
Instead, let’s talk about “Curse your inevitable betrayal!”

I loved Scrubs when it was on.
An 8 series run of a fantastic TV show.

You’d best put seat belts on your ears, Roy, 'cause I’m about to take them for the ride of their lives!
The Wire is the best show ever made.
I liked being disappointed with a few episodes only to realize they are far better than most anything else out there.
Rewatched it recently and other than pagers and pay phones no longer existing it’s still great.
This, I believe, is one of the least controversial positions in the 21st century. A masterpiece.
Pagers and phone booths stay in.
Correct.
Mr. Robot. Even though I didn’t love the ending as much as most people did, that show as a whole was just so well-made.
Yeah Mr Robot was really good and a lot of the hacking scenes are in-line with the actual reality of hacking IRL.
It’s also very good at depicting social anxiety. I’ve never seen it depicted in anything before, but it’s very accurate.
I really liked season 1 I just couldn’t get into or past season 2 at all.
At one point it became so boring that I could not watch it. Specifically when they try to go physically in building and hack it , I did not understand why they have to show his mental parts and what not. I could not waste anytime on it any more.
Better Off Ted.
Or Dirk Gentlys Detective Agency.
Honestly though Better Off Ted probably wins it because its the best comedy show I’ve ever seen and NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN IT
Sad that dirk gently got cancelled when it did
Dude I was so looking forward to that third season too. You have no idea.
I’ve seen it. When Lem tried to kiss his date in front of the apartment I lost it. To this day it’s one of the very few scenes I rewind a couple of times for the sheer comedy gold.
I forgot what happened so looked it up and THANK YOU! I needed that laugh :)
If you like Dirk Gently you’ll probably like Mrs. Davis
Sounds interesting. I’ll check it out!
And if you like dirk gently you will probably also like maniac
Yeah I didn’t like maniac

And it has a heart to it that’s kinda sweet
I’ve seen it! It’s so so good!

Pop pop!
Fat dog for midterms!
It is not made up, it is not made up!
Came to upvote this, some of the funniest writing and acting on a show that just gets better with time
+1. Even if not objectively “the best”, it is definitely my favorite and is very unique and underrated.
It’s so hard to choose between Star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek, or Star Trek… 🤔
Definitely star trek
You’re out of your mind if you think it’s Star Trek and not Star Trek.
My first full run of DS9 is going so well. What’s amazing is the amount of single fatherhood in the show.
Alright, lets start the controversy… Discovery you can easily skip but Enterprise is always rated too low.
I don’t see anyone mentioning DARK yet.
Probably one of the absolute BEST series I’ve ever watched. The ending was SO good.
Dense as fuck but so meticulously crafted. Still, as much as I sing it’s praises, I would only recommend it to a narrow selection of people.
One of the media that I wish I could erase from my memories so I could experience it for the first time again
All of my this. Though a rewatch is also amazing because now you get to see all of the little details that were always there, but now make a LOT more sense!!!
I was stoked when season three started.
If was all so familiar, yet not quite the same.
Then half way through I realised I’d already watched it.
Superb.
Best ending and felt satisfying.
Scrubs - I maintain that the “9th season” was a spinoff. It was called Scrubs: Med School. Scrubs as a whole series (1-8) is unbeatable.
Stranger Things - it just seems to hit all the right notes. Especially season 4. There were some episodes in that season that were just perfect.

I also enjoyed it as a spinoff. Didn’t fit with the rest of the show, but was good for what it was.

Firefly, and the accompanying movie, Serenity.
I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you
