Eh, it's pretty tame compared to the other series but it's damn well worth to continue watching. Lots of things that get brought up again later on, too. I think if you can make it through the first series you're golden and won't want to stop.
what do you mean by "tame"

I couldn't really think of a good word so I just used tame. In series 1 everyone is relatively happy, Walt has an okay life and everyone is alive.

Then things go down the shitter over the course of 4 more series

Which is basically every show ever I suppose, but Breaking Bad did it good. When you get further on you'll think back to the first series and be like 'Maaaan how far this guy has gone...'

Haven't seen Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead, but Game of Thrones honestly got good only a couple of episodes in, and I'm not done with it yet but it's been good the whole way through so far

The ton of sex scenes in it put me off at first too (It's the reason I put it off for so long), but it is really, really good

But none of these matter, because you should be watching The Sopranos.

yeah, i've always wanted to watch the sopranos, actually
i've always loved gangster movies

idk if it's available on netflix though

GoT is good. I really like character dramas, but there's quite a bit of unnecessary nudity that really is just bro-service. One or two big fights per season, and some pretty great writing up until season 5.

Narcos is really good. Daredevil kind of sucked beyond some novel cinematography early on. Bad actors and a silly plot.

Alternative Facts · September 24, 2015, 08:22:54 PM

> Watching GoT, but not House of Cards.

Verb, I'm disappointed.

HOLY SHIT THIS SHOW IS BAD

The 100 is gewd.

people watch this?? and enjoy it????????

FUCK

Breaking Bad gets really good in season 2 and gets amazing from 3 onward. The other two start off good and then go downhill. But we all know you're just going to hate all of them so it doesn't really matter.

Verbatim · September 24, 2015, 10:57:47 PM

like, everything they do is done in the most cliched, generic, boring fucking way

on top of it already being the most unimaginative premise ever

fuck this show

Jocephalopod · September 24, 2015, 10:58:32 PM

the walking dead is complete shit

you won't like game of thrones

I haven't had the time to watch breaking bad but from what i have seen its good.

come to think of it, the only TV series I have watched is it's always sunny...

Verbatim · September 24, 2015, 11:11:03 PM

i'm stunned

i really didn't expect this show to be this bad

the entire thing so far has been like
"oh no, they're eating the horse--how heartwrenching and dramatic"
"look at all this sad stuff happening--FEEL SOMETHING"

Verbatim · September 24, 2015, 11:26:01 PM

maybe the zombies are an audience surrogate

like, the people who watch this show are just mindless zombies

TWD being overrated is one of the worst-kept secrets I can think of. But despite that, I might try watching it if I ever get bored some day.

Verb it's an adaptation of a comic and caching in on the zombie craze.

I mean, that alone should tell you that your expectations shouldn't be high.

i already mentioned that my expectations were "very, very low" (first post after the OP, actually)

and i'm still stunned

Is this some newfound teenage masochist phase you're going through or what?

i don't know, but i'm determined to get through the first season at least

i'll feel less guilty about quitting early then

The Lord Ruler · September 25, 2015, 08:37:55 AM

I want you watch Lost. I want to know how you would react to it

gats · September 25, 2015, 08:41:33 AM

How is lost not on there? It's only the best show ever.
Prison break is good too, watch that

big dog · September 25, 2015, 08:59:46 AM

The Walking Dead is good at Season 1, shit at Season 2, mediocre at Season 3, excellent at Season 4 and 5. There are still some great episodes in the shit seasons.

Breaking Bad starts slow but is brilliant the whole way through. Its spinoff, Better Call Saul, is on par.

Game of Thrones starts off great but gets worse after Season 3.

Girl of Mystery · September 25, 2015, 09:00:15 AM

Don't bother with TWD
GoT is mostly good. Season 4 was kinda weak, and season 5 is even weaker.
Breaking Bad is an all around great show.

You should also watch
House of Cards
Justified
Lie to Me
Daredevil
Luther
Sherlock
Life on Mars (UK, not the crap US adaption that got canned)
Ashes to Ashes (watch this after Life on Mars)
Better Call Saul (watch this after Breaking Bad)
Spartacus is pretty good, but you probably won't like because there's a lot of sex and nudity
Only Fools and Horses (if you like old British sitcoms)

It improves a lot after Season 3 because they got a new showrunner in.

Septy · September 25, 2015, 09:08:41 AM

Game of Thrones isn't on Netflix its on HBO

Comet · September 25, 2015, 09:13:40 AM

season 1 of The 100 was ok. season 2 was meh, personally.
The Office (gets good around season 2, you get used to the characters)
Parks and Rec (same as The Office)
Black Mirror (episodic)
Luther (great from the start, honestly)

uh that's all i can think of for now.
