Cant believe no -one has said The Sopranos yet tour de force of acting directing and writing (yes even the last episode which is completley missunderstood by most critics)

My Top 5 list all time:

Breaking Bad
The Sopranos
The Wire
Battelstar Galactica (new)
The Americans

Honorable mentions:

Legion
Westworld
The Expanse
GoT
Vikings
Mr Robot
Travellers
Firefly

Love Travelers and Westworld, I'll have to check out some of those others.

I left sopranos off, an all time fave. There are more I just didn’t list them all

I am not much of a television watcher. There are, however, a few shows that I watch and enjoy.

Currently, "iZombie" is on my watch list. I am fully current on "Doctor Who" , and have most of the episodes going all the way back to 1963. I love the context that the classic episodes give the new ones.

Shows that are no longer current, that I HAVE to re-watch from time to time, include "Coupling" (the British version, of course!) and "Firefly".

Nothing can top Breaking Bad.

I'm watching the X Files from the beginning and it has been awesome. Love that show so much. Some of the episodes are funny, some are commentary on things (like the evil tech episode this current season), and some just have really cool thoughts in them. The one I watched today, Mulder is talking about changing your appearance to look like someone else and asks Scully who she would want to be if she could be someone else for a day. She said looking like someone and being someone are two different things, to which Mulder replied, but they would treat you like that other person, maybe it's people's perceptions of us and reactions to us that make us who we really are. And I was like damn it, I love this show!

I also really like Game of Thrones. It's awesome and terrible.

The Magicians. It sounds lame as hell but I'm completely obsessed and it helps my depression.

I loved Faking It because it was so lighthearted and read like a comedy but it broke down barriers while noticing stereotypes and I'm forever sad it was canceled, as it got me through a bad break up and nothing else would stop the tears and self destruction.

Doctor Who. For all the reasons above and also because well, if you're a Whovian you already know

Law and Order: SVU because it's nice to see justice prevail and I like the characters. I relate to Olivia because she always tries to do the right thing but it's not always easy.

Bob's burgers because I can watch it around small children and no one freaks out, it's colorful and funny and makes me feel good.

South of Nowhere and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, both mostly for their early lesbian representation in the 90's and early 2000's when it was barely even heard of otherwise. Changed my life and I might not be here today without these pivotal moments in television.

Friends because though not perfect, it's universal. I dated a girl in India for 2 years, for instance, and all her friends watched it. I love shows that connect people

Lost Girl because of its LGBT representation, but also because of the supernatural storyline. Miss it!

Orphan Blank has everything I'm interested in : genes, cloning, off-the-grid type action, a lesbian character who kicks so much ass... And a main character with an Irish accent I think it is. Welsh. I dunno. Just watch it if you can.

Grey's anatomy and honestly I don't know why but I started watching it as a teen from time to time and it fascinates me. I am squeamish so I could never be a doctor

Midnight, Texas because... Just watch it.

True blood because it was uncensored and supernatural and honestly the world needs more shows with fairies AND boobs. And swearing because that's REAL.

Glee because it got me through depression too and reminded me of my youth. I was in choir for a few years and the experiences are ones I don't regret. My parents were very overbearing and it was a wonder they let me participate and travel so when I watch glee I'm reminded of tiny tastes of freedom growing up.

Atypical because my son is high functioning ASD (Autistic) and he's getting older. I laughed, I cried. It tackled all the issues perfectly and gave me hope even though his doctor says he will never date or work with the public.

Because, Doctor Who. <3

I have to confess this show is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I know it was never aimed at my demographic so thats suprising lol (try to watch the web cuts tho, the broadcast edits are cut to bits and bleeped, so patronising when they do that).

Oh btw I am high functioning ASD and a qualified teacher so don't listen to everything Doctors say

Books are better 🙂

I bet. I’ll probably read Altered Carbon this summer.

Have you finished the first season and how did you feel about the ending? No spoilers

Atypical! Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men

I loved Battlestar Galactica. It had depth. Suits is my current favorite, closely followed by The Expanse and Blacklist.

@AMGT @tioteo I also quite enjoyed Caprica, but it seems the Battlestar Galactica fans didn't enjoy the different style and pacing. Its cancelation was unfortunate, because it dealt with social issues that hadn't ever been discussed in these ways before (including issues of religion and sexuality). It could have done better had Syfy not had a long mid-season break.

I know what you mean. I thought that cancellation was a shame.

Ditto

Loved Battlestar Galactica, was not thrilled with how it ended, at all. Same for Lost.

At this time, I'd still have to say Breaking Bad.

Another fave, Justified; Timothy Olyphant's portrayal of "unconventional" U.S. Marshal Raylon Givens was masterful. Plus, the show had numerous guest appearances by pretty well known actors.

Disconnected my tv...I read my emails and I do watch you-tube videos on my i-pad... on building stuff (walls, gardens and tiny houses)...and of course I keep up with what is happening with politics! Love Steven Corbert and Ted Talks! And agnostic.com!!!
