Hell on wheels started out great the first few episodes but just keeps getting worse til the point ive almost lost interest. Seems they have completely abandoned the revenge storyline which is what really drew me in at first. Now they are just busy building train tracks.

I like it. I'm not sure when new episodes are out.

I see a lot of myself in the white guy from the radio station that hangs out with and is in awe of the musicians. Minus the actually wanting to be in a band. I can skip that part.

Agreed. i loved the first season. then it crapped out

The Wire was the best by a large margin. Sopranos was right up near the top though.

Best show ever.

It's a common reaction at first glance and lots of people tend to agree. Till you start digging. And then you can see that it was masterfully engineered with planning evident for two years in Season Six, both parts one and two. Read this article. It took me several readings to get everything the author has to say - and while I think he got carried away at some points of his analysis, his core thesis is so well supported as to be beyond refutation, I think. http://masterofsopranos.wordpress.co...on-of-the-end/

I agree that Sopranos is on top of the heap. I've owned the black boxed set for years and I'm going through the episodes, in some cases for the third or fourth viewing, still seeing things I did not see before. I just learned that several friends are doing the same thing. It's a tribute to the writing that there is much to learn with each new viewing.

Makes my toplist forsure.

one can dissect the ending until it's a heaping pile of entrails and it would not make a difference to the typical viewer who was left wondering: wtf.

Anyone who's watched The Wire knows it sure as hell needs to top this list,followed closely by Sopranos.

R.I.P. James Gandolfini: Where Tony Soprano lives on.

how did family guy not make it on anyones list.

I just started watching The Wire and i'm 3 episodes in. When does it start to get good? It's too much "TV" right now if that makes any sense.

It is essentially a novel. So, at that stage they are introducing you to characters. There is a moment for most Wire fans where it clicks and then you are hooked.
