I know the video begins with dismissing Breaking Bad, but I personally think it holds up really well, and is still a stellar show.
Oh absolutely breaking bad is easily a top ten show ever.
The thing about sopranos that definitely has aged is the violence. The scenes where ppl get whacked look comical and havent aged well. Goated series tho.
Vito's tiny glock
Fargo definitely deserves a mention. Season 4 was weak but the first 3 are brilliant
For me The Thick of It is definitely up there, so many memorable scenes and characters, even for a comedy show the ending hit me in a very unique way.
His list:
The Sopranos.
True Detectives (season 1)
The Wire
Deadwood
Twilight Zone (Original series)
What’s your top ten? Mine would be
1. The wire
2. Game of thrones
3.’mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Yellowstone
9. Stranger things
10. Sopranos
Honorable mentions
Mad men
Better call Saul
Dexter
If you are taking series, then you have to look at True Detective as a whole, not just S1
Walton Goggins as Venus in SOA if fucking hilarious. Dude is a genius haha
I watched true detective just because of you mentioning it in the better call saul article you linked me on stream weeks ago. I fucking loved it. Thanks a ton Rich
Really enjoyed this. I'd somehow gone my life without hearing the Shield praise, so onto the watchlist that goes.
I wouldn't go so far as to slide it into a top 5, but the show I adore yet never see get any shine is Patriot. Such a shame it got cut short.
I could see this would be a banger when I saw the thumbnail.
Thanks for the recommendations. I watched the sopranos because you recommended it a while back on by the numbers and I really enjoyed it. Shout out to to all of the 1 season wonders who busted too quickly like Prison Break and True Detective.
amen
Absolutely agree about Deadwood, a complete gem of a show
Couldn't agree more with the top two. My top 3 is:
1. Sopranos
2. True Detective S1
3. Mad Men
True Detective was great but its a lot easier to get it right for one season than four or five.
Jewel's Boot Is Made for Walking
True Detective season 1 is my favorite television ever. I struggled for a while putting it at my favorite show ever because of the later seasons but i eventually just rationalized that the third is fine and a decent attempt at a follow up and the second is just somebodys fanfiction put to screen.
Im excited for the fourth season, and I hope it will at least be on par with the third season, but dialogue from the trailer so far has me worried.
The season 3 finale of Boardwalk Empire could have been the perfect end to a perfect show. Couldn't bring my self to ever finish the 5th season, it was too far gone
If I start the show should I be good to just watch the first three seasons and stop there?
@@tinypickle I feel the same as OP. You can pretend that s4 and s5 don't exist just like how some people pretend Supernatural ended on s5.
No man. Finish it till the end it will be worth it. They end the show masterfully
My top 5.
1. The Sopranos
2. The Wire
3. Deadwood
4. X-Files
5. Deep Space Nine
My top ten is
1. The wire
2. Game of thrones
3. Mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Yellowstone
9. Stranger things
10. Sopranos
Honorable mentions
Mad men
Better call Saul
Dexter
Babylon5 is my favorite scifi story. It's the wire in space as a scifi mysetry with an overarching plot rather than just episodic stories.
May not be your cup of tea, but The Expanse is definitely top 5 for me.
The expanse is a very good show is say it’s about top twenty for me. What’s your top ten? My list goes
1. The wire
2. Game of thrones
3. Mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Yellowstone
9. Stranger things
10. Sopranos
Honorable mentions for
Mad men
Better call Saul
Dexter
Oz had its moments. I liked when Tobias Beecher sang 'I Got it Bad' in both an ironic and unironic way.
I was waiting For that also..
idk if it was the budget or something else but after watching couple of other series oz was some sort of a mess;they could have done more with characters and stuff
after some seasons it felt like some episodes they just focused on a completely random character like very side character from motor gang banging another dude from schillinger gang when there isnt anything viewer knows about those characters
@@exsk506yeah Oz is terrible
Twin Peaks The Return is some great television, only problem is that you have to watch the entire original run of Twin Peaks to understand a lot of the plot elements. Season 2 of 90s Twin Peaks had network interference which caused a dip in quality so it's a bit of a slog unfortunately.
Honourable mention: Six Feet Under. Not consistent all the way through but still a great and thought provoking show.
Twin peaks the return is one of the worst seasons of tv ever made🤷♂️I’ve never seen a show be intentionally awful before. Seriously outside of those shite mcu shows, the return is the worst season of tv ever made.
The Wire hands down - a fucking masterpiece, I even didn't mind the last season's plot
Yeah without question the wire is the best show ever
I would pay to have richard watch attack on titan because for me despite being an anime it's the best show I've ever seen
there is a tier on the patreon where you can literally do this btw
Sopranos will always be the king of TV and nothing comes close. Want to see Deadwood and will probably soon based on your recommendation. Succession was the first show in a long time that I was truly captivated by. My dad loved Boardwalk Empire but i haven't seen it yet.
Whenever you think legendary TV, you think HBO. Goes to show just how dominant they are in terms of captivating TV
Watch twin peaks
@@cameronmiers9209twin peaks is probably top five. It’s easily in the top five stupidest shows I’ve ever watched.
I actually still really enjoy breaking bad. I'm currently watching Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire because of the algorithm. For me Sopranos is a level above Boardwalk Empire.
But I prefer Breaking Bad to both of them. Just connected with the show more.
The Wire & True Detective Season 1 are my favourites - Honourable mentions Entourage, Banshee is the best action tv series ever imo, Barry(Loved the ending), Succession, The Expanse & Person of Interest
What are top 10 od the best twilght zone episodes?
Chalky White sounds like Michael X lol
Have you seen Utopia (british version) Rich? Amazing series and incredibly underrated
Bro that is literally my favourite series of all time. I have no idea why it's not raved about so much. I've sat so many people down and forced them to watch episode 1. The last scene of episode one where there's a knock on the door, they answer, "who are you?", "I'm Jessica Hyde" credits roll. Gives me chills every time. Plus the soundtrack is really cool and unique.
Where is Jessica Hyde?
severance is 10/10, you should watch that next richard
Good shout. Can't wait for the new season.
Just finished the Sopranos
Richard, did you ever watch HBO's OZ? Once you can get past the graphic scenes it has perhaps the best characters and acting in all of TV.
I’ve seen Oz in it’s entirety and I wouldn’t say it’s a great show by any means. It’s just too stupid and poorly written to be a top tier show imo
Succession is worth your time, especially if you like that witty, Shakespearean dialogue
Succession is easily a top ten show for me
any love for house (M.D.)?
The first 4 seasons are stellar television
Has to be my favourite show, least currently. I know people hate season 6-8 but my favourite scene of any show is in season 7 (the spa scene leading to house jumping off the roof)
S7ep16
Richard has said before that he can't take Hugh Laurie's American accent in it seriously.
Personally, I really like the show, but it did go a bit off the rails towards the end. Even so, I'd argue the first 6 seasons are definitely worth a watch.
Dark not mentioned? I guess he hasn't seen it yet
In no particular order my list would be:
Deadwood*
Luther
The Sopranos
The Wire
Justified
Luther was great. Good shout
Appreciate seeing justified there amazing series with great characters and dialogue
@@NexX35what’s your top ten? To me it goes
1. The wire
2. Game of thrones
3. Mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Yellowstone
9. Stranger things
10. Sopranos
Shows that were the closest to making my top ten but didn’t…
Mad men
Better call Saul
Dexter
I agree with the comments here that say Sopranos here hasnt aged well. But I think its more of how we are progressing/digressing as a society. Some parts of Sopranos which i initially saw as brutal and dark now seem funny. I think our being aware of how dark the world is just lets us see Sopranos' violence in a funnier way.
FFS bro. Why remind me that true detective season 1 exists, now it's on my mind I guarantee the next three times I've sunk enough pints I'm going to force whoever I'm with to watch the scene where the bikers raid the ghetto, regardless of how little they care. I know it will be cringe, I know I will be that guy, I don't want it to happen, but I also know it's going to happen, it's out of my hands. I can only blame one man and that is Richard Lewis.
I've gotta say The Sopranos wasn't as good as I expected.. not bad obviously, but not that great either
Sopranos and The Wire are tied for #1 for me.
Does anyone know what stream this was from btw? It seems recent but i didn't see any new vods or any stream announcements the past few days.
The livestream was a few months ago, so not super recent but I had this laying around on my harddrive still
@@RichardLewisClips ah ok, thanks for the info Rich!
I would love to know what Richard thinks of the show Taboo, only 1 season but a cheeky favourite of mine
This tv show cracked me up just basically a montage of Tom hardy walking like a mad cunt
No comedy? - what about the office (UK)?
For me:
Stargate
The expanse
Star Wars The Clown Wars
The Boys
The Americans
As you are taking best TV shows, then you have to look at True Detective as a whole, not just S1
The Sopranos
The Wire
~Gap the size of Flash's skill gap~
Entourage
Star Trek (the original one with Shatner)
The Simpsons (seasons 1-9)
Simpsons 1-7
sopranos and its not even close for me
i hoped to get some new shows to watch from this but sadly our tastes align almost perfectly. rip
You seen the americans?
Its a great tv show which has got lots of praise but very popular
Highly recommended
@@NexX35 yes, it was very good indeed! nt :D
@MD-qr3fb how about person of interest and black sails or Hannibal
All great shows
Person of interest start of as case of the week but later on becomes much more interesting
@@NexX35 PoI I tried but wasn't a fan, too procedural for me indeed. Black sails never looked at it ngl looked a bit cheap ? Hannibal was good but not amazing except the acting of Mikkelsen obviously. Thanks tho
@MD-qr3fb black is pretty good if you enjoy historical type of shows like game of thrones and vikings etc
Except i think black sails is better despite not having as big of a budget as got
Can we get the 5 worst shows? I watched a lot of under the dome because the acting was so bad that it was funny
Was hoping to hear your thougts on Mr. Robot 😢. To me that’s the most underrated show i’ve ever watched
I think S4 Ep7 (407 Proxy Authentication Required) is peak cinematic atistry. I’d place that episode alone above the entire top 5 list, even though the show as a whole probably doesn’t fit anywhere above that debatable 5th spot.
What’s your top ten shows mate? Mine are
1. The wire (hands down the best ever)
2. Game of thrones
3. Mr robot
4. Dark
5. The boys
6. Breaking bad
7. Succession
8. Yellowstone
9. Stranger things
10. Sopranos
Honorable men are
Mad men
Better call Saul
Dexter
I want to know your thoughts on the picard show first two seasons are abhorrent. The third season feels like a we're sorry we fucked up here's everything you wanted.
The wire season 1 to 4 over the sopranos for me
Yeah the wire is the best show ever made by far
There's no way sopranos is better than the wire
Agreed I love the sopranos but it’s not even close to the wire
I don't think Mr Robot or Atlanta get enough credit personally. Shot composition, music integration, pacing/editing, they way they tell their stories was really fun to watch and well accented by the technical presentation.
Atlanta is fantastic. Mr. Robot just got to repetitive and also got bogged down in certain areas.
@@dustmouret Mr Robot S2 def slowed the pace a bit, 1 weaker season in an overall great story imo. I'd watch for the music and directing alone tho, just the way its shot is worth watching for me I love interesting cinematography.
If there's no Twin Peaks it's a clanger of a list
Only thing with twin peaks is that the show is bad
Mad men? No plot but sublime characters
Mad men is great and a borderline top ten show for me
I disagree with your list!
What’s your top ten? Mine would be
