The Wire is my all time favorite. Currently watching The Shield and while it’s not bad, it’s more of an edgy Law and Order type cop show.
I don’t think anything truly measures up to The Wire but just wanted to hear about anyone else’s recommendations.
Crime shows: Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mind Hunter, Homicide: Life on the Streets
Sci-fi: Travelers, season 1 of Altered Carbon, The Expanse, Firefly, Stargate SG-1
Comedy: Limitless, Community, Better Off Ted, Archer, Arrested Development, King of the Hill
Limitless is a comedy? I read the book and saw the movie, and neither was a comedy.
The show is, the movie is not though it ties in with the show. Haven’t read the book, but the show takes a more lighthearted approach and still has elements of drama and suspense, but doesn’t take itself as seriously.
The book was terrific, which is why it was able to inspire both a movie and a TV show.
There is only one season of Altered Carbon
Yes, and there is no last season of Game of Thrones or True Blood lol
I’d add Andor to the sci-fi section, it’s exceptionally good.
Common Side Effects, too.
Nice to see a Star Wars series that wasn’t about the Jedi, for a change.
And Scavengers Reign.
