GOT -- Best show ever?

blackoutFOB · August 14th, 2017, 01:39 PM

Surprised there is no discussion of what will likely go down as the greatest show ever. HBO has the goods when it comes to dramas (sopranos, the wire, 6 feet under) even thrown in Curb.

This last season has been crazy and fast paced. What other shows rank up there?

No. Entertaining enough. Watch once, no desire to see again.

No. Interesting, but too many sadistisc scenes.

I love GoT, but it has competition as the best of all time. Breaking Bad to name one.

Tons of series and mini series that are superior to GoT.

Despite some good competition out there, I have to say That Thrones is the best thing I`ve ever watched, you think you`ve got the storyline sussed, but then they do something that turns the whole thing on it`s head.
Battle Of The Bastards is possibly the best battle scene ever on small or large screen.
However, I say it, because it`s the genre I love, not everyone has the same tastes, but I`ve yet to meet someone who watches it and hasn`t liked it.

Here are some TV series that I really liked:

The Killing (the Danish version)... a jewel. I first watched the American version that I appreciated a lot. A guy on a forum told me: "Watch the original one, it even better".
Hmmm! I thought "why not, but it probably will be difficult to produce something better than an American production."
Ohhhh I was so wrong. If you can watch this Danish version you will be amazed.

The Wire (American TV serie) that happens in Baltimore... Very interesting.

Boss (American TV serie) the story of a Mayor of Chicago who get a mental illness. SADLY they stopped this serie. If I'd be a multimillionnaire producer, I'd try to invest to create one or two seasons more. Boss... it's a much darker and better version of the House of Cards. (I never watch the second season of House of Cards)

Bordwalk empire (American TV serie)

Apart that... I liked "Fawlty towers" with John Cleese. It really was fun. I also liked to watch "Frasier" and several episodes of "My Family". That's good laughing to change your ideas.

I'm interested in watching "Borgen" and "Bron", two Scandinavian TVserie that are considered by a lot of people as good as the Killing.

Simple answer.... This is a picture/movie based erotic forum... & there are only hints of erotica in that show; besides there must be tons of sites dedicated to the show you can discuss it on?

GOT isn't even that good! HBO's Rome was much better in my opinion.
Has a long way to go to catch The Soprano's or Breaking Bad

Doesn't the fact that you had to start this thread tell you anything?
