(Can't believe Watchmen didn't make the cut, more people seriously need to watch that).

I can't believe it either. I thought it was raved about here when it came out. Such a good show.

[Moby]

But like someone said, if a load of Star Trek nerds come in who've not broadened their horizons why should those other shows suffer and all get zero while a soap in space gobbles up the 5s.

You don't have to personally attack @harshad like that.

@Dirty Schwein how is Deep Space Nine in the group stages when you list it as eliminated with 5 votes?

 

[weetee]

Lock him up!

 

[Massive Spanner]

Parks & Rec is amazing, very sad to see it in a tough group and also even bottom of some people's lists.

It’s probably my number one comedy show and it got grouped with the best show of all time and one of the best mini series of all time, feck sake.

 

[Globule]

Group 1:
The Americans
The Shield
South Park
Dark


Group 2:
Better Call Saul
Parks & Recreation


There's some good* shows I've had to omit because I've not watched them or enough of them to make a judgement.
I've only recently started watching Dark and while I was enjoying it, it hasn't grabbed me yet. I was also never an avid South Park fan, but I've seen enough episodes to rank it.

*or so I've heard.

 

[Eriku]

Group 1:
1. Star Trek: Deep Space 9

Group 2:

Not listing the ones I haven’t seen much or any of.

@Dirty Schwein how is Deep Space Nine in the group stages when you list it as eliminated with 5 votes?

Oh balls is meant to be the next generation. Will adjust. Don't think it makes much difference. Hopefully.

Not seen The Wire but BCS smashes the competition, you gimps.

 

[Solius]

Not seen The Wire but BCS smashes the competition, you gimps.

Rest of the sentence is null and void then. And I really enjoyed BCS tbf.

 

[Solius]

Group 1:
Dark
The Shield
South Park
Star Trek: The Next Generation

Group 2:
The Wire
Chernobyl
X-Files
Better Call Saul
Parks & Recreation (stopped after two eps)

The first season isn't the best tbf but it's definitely worth sticking with. It's better on a rewatch when you already know the characters but as with most comedy shows it takes a few episodes to really find its feet.

 

[Spoony]

Rest of the sentence is null and void then. And I really enjoyed BCS tbf.

Yeah I need to watch The Wire.

 

[FreakyJim]

Oh balls is meant to be the next generation. Will adjust. Don't think it makes much difference. Hopefully.

Well, that completely changes my ranking.

Not seen The Wire but BCS smashes the competition, you gimps.

this is unacceptable

 

[Solius]

Yeah I need to watch The Wire.

I'm gonna watch the highest ranked show that I've not seen before. If we all do that we'll broaden our horizons (unless it's Star Trek and I will bite down on a cyanide pill to get out of watching it).

 

[Ralaks]

Group 1:
South Park
Dark
The Americans

Group 2:
Parks & Recreation
Chernobyl
The Wire
X-Files

Not seen the rest

 

[Massive Spanner]

I really need to try watch BCS again but I remember watching the first two seasons and giving up cause it was so boring and nothing really happened.

 

[DutchSerb]

This feels like last seasons CL Knockout stage to me. All the ones I like stuck on the same side.

 

[D. Grayson]

Group 1:
Dark
South Park
Star Trek: The Next Generation
The Americans

Group 2:
X-Files
Chernobyl
Parks & Recreation
Better Call Saul

 

[Solius]

I really need to try watch BCS again but I remember watching the first two seasons and giving up cause it was so boring and nothing really happened.

I also gave up first time round. Took me a couple years to give it another go but I stuck with it and learned to appreciate. It does get exponentially better and some of the pay-offs are great.

 

[Scandi Red]

I really need to try watch BCS again but I remember watching the first two seasons and giving up cause it was so boring and nothing really happened.

Season 1 is rough, but if you didn't get hooked after Season 2 then it might not be your cup of tea. Season 3 is absolutely riveting though! That's the point where BCS becomes great.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Wtf is BCS?

 

[Solius]

[decorativeed]

Group 1: I last watched an episode of South Park in the 90s, and the same can be said of ST:NG. I've never seen any of the others so will recuse myself on this one.

Group 2:
1 Parks & Recreation
2 Better Call Saul
3 X-Files

Never seen the other two. Yes, I know I should watch The Wire. Its been on my DVD shelf, then hard drive for almost a decade and I've not gotten round to it yet

 

[HTG]

Dark
Star Trek: The Next Generation
The Americans
South Park
The Shield


The Wire
Parks & Recreation
Better Call Saul

 

[Cole9]

I still think the first season of Better Call Saul is the best.

This is genuinely the first time I’ve ever seen someone have this opinion. Why do you think that?

Bill, Corrie, Stenders (Eastenders)

A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.

 

[Cole9]

This is genuinely the first time I’ve ever seen someone have this opinion. Why do you think that?

Partly because it’s the season that has the least links/storylines related to Breaking Bad and the story is pretty much focused solely on Jimmy that season.

As the seasons go on, it becomes more like Breaking Bad and Jimmy’s screen time decreases. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it all the way through, but I preferred the earlier seasons.

I think Breaking Bad peaked in the first 1-2 seasons and is grossly overrated, so that probably explains it too.
