Mad Men deserves the spot in the upper echelon it usually enjoys. Halt and Catch Fire is the underrated sleeper pick whose renown shall grow in time

replace Deadwood with The Americans

Malloy · Post by **Malloy** » Wed August 10, 2022 4:20 pm

since i, as you, have been irrevocably mcnairied, might we wait for a third party to make this nomination?

plus, i haven't seen the show.

I can't get into Deadwood. Try every few years and it hasn't clicked.

McNairy plays a clean-cut nerd instead of the grungy white trash he's often cast as, and it's lovely to watch

I watched The Sopranos for the first time this year. I would not put it in the top tier.

Love Deadwood.

1. Deadwood
2. Sopranos
3. The Wire

4. Mad Men

Anders · Post by **Anders** » Wed August 10, 2022 5:53 pm

I agree with that ranking, and I’ve seen all four (Mad Men once, The Wire once, but the first season twice, first five seasons of Sopranos mostly on tv, then the whole show on dvd, and Deadwood at least twice).

Post by **Jorge** » Wed August 10, 2022 5:54 pm

I should watch Deadwood

Post by **The Argonaut** » Wed August 10, 2022 6:04 pm

I've seen all for of the thread title shows at least three times each. Damn. I watch a lot of TV

This would be my ranking as well. Except I'm currently rewatching Mad Men and really loving it, so I'd have less spaces between 3 and 4. I'd also add The Americans at #5.

Don't we already have this thread?

The other one has West Wing in the title and Malloy considers it an abomination. Personally, I like West Wing. Not sure what Malloy's problem is

Anders · Post by **Anders** » Wed August 10, 2022 6:41 pm

The West Wing was ok. Recently came to a streaming service here, but don’t think I will rewatch it (saw it when it was new on tv years ago).

Post by **The Argonaut** » Wed August 10, 2022 6:43 pm

I probably had the most fun watching West Wing out of all these (at least the first few seasons), but that was back in 2013 and I've never revisited it. Never felt the need to. I think I got it the first time through
