Top 5 TV Series

[Nuno Filipe]

I never was a tv series guy but lately I have been watching really some good ones. So what´s your favourite ones? I think a top 5 of the best you ever watched might be enough.

Here its mine:

1 - Dexter
2 - Sherlock
3 - Firefly
4 - The Wire
5 - Breaking Bad

This could be a good topic to discover some new ones. I tried some time ago, game of thrones but that supernatural shit with zombies, dragons, demons was a turn off. Couldnt finish 2 season.

Quite early but no one mentioned Walking Dead, which I think started strong but turned into a bloody boring soap opera. I still watch it, but it's going in circles.
Did anybody give Vikings a shot ?

For a long time Dexter was at my 2nd place, then season 6 started and it all fell apart.

1. Sopranos
2. Friends
3. Breaking Bad
4. The Shield
5. King of Queens

And I can continue with plenty more.
Currently watching Hannibal, Suits, Game of Thrones, Vikings, Orange is the new Black and a few more.

Still need to start watching Boardwalk Empire, The Wire and Mad Man.

There are some ones that I didnt knew. I am probably take a look at vikings as the next one. I heard that true detective is also a great serie.

Prison brake has a terrific first season but after that, became a shit.

I kind of agree but I think it was still worth watching all the way till the end.

i was going to say to all the people that mentioned dexter... have you seen the last season?? uke: man that show was great for a while but they really botched the end.

For a long time Dexter was at my 2nd place, then season 6 started and it all fell apart.

In my opinion all series should have no more than 5 seasons. There's simply no way it's not going to turn to shit after that (if not sooner). That's why I respect creators/writers like those of breaking bad who could easily stretch the series in to 7 or 8 seasons but chose to end it they way they originally wanted and didn't sold out to make more money.

Prison brake has a terrific first season but after that, became a shit.

I believe that's because it was supposed to be a 1 season mini series. The first season was indeed great, but it was impossible to keep a pace that fast for 3-4 seasons without being ridiculous.
