The Wire is the greatest show ever made.

Breaking Bad would like a word with you.

Hype. It was America's sweetheart. Still in my top 10 but not numero uno.

SOA was trash. Non-stop violence, with superhero Jax rarely hurt and would win every battle. So far from reality you couldn't take it seriously at all.

Just finished season 1 of Succession and was impressed. The characters are all so despicable that it's difficult to fall in love with the show in the traditional sense but it's very well done and executed in my mind.

Roman’s reaction to the space shuttle was bleepin hilarious.  Shiv is the only one of the kids that is worth a damn.  My favorite character is her or Stewy.

I have tried, and will continue to try to get into The Wire...but it's a big struggle for me for some reason.

I'm a weird one when it comes to TV...I am currently struggling through Mad Men, got almost to the end of BB, and couldn't push through.  Stopped watching The Americans after a few seasons,  same with Homeland and Soprano's.

Haven't fired up Deadwood or Boardwalk yet, but am nervous I will run out of gas on them too.

Loved Sherlock, am working through Justified.  Watched all of Longmire.  It's just weird, as I know those are great shows, but they certainly haven't grabbed me.  Do love GOT.

That said, Winter is Coming, and I'll spend a lot more time indoors soon, so I'll likely give all of those another shot soon.

And Shiv is a scumbag in her own right. Why do I think Kieran Culkin is probably just playing himself?

And the way all those kids cower in the presence of Dad is crazy.

Yes she is, but she seems to be a competent scumbag, the brothers are worthless, although I still love Roman. 

I thought the same thing about Culkin.

Starting to think that may very well be true.

Loved MASH re-runs, love GOT, and a lot of the funny ones....The Office, Parks and Rec, 30 rock, etc...

Also liked strange shows like Foyle's War and Midsummer Murders a lot, and love anything Sherlock.  It's a very weird thing.

And... while we're at it, wtf is going with Sharp Objects?

2 episodes left and my head is swimming after last night.

That show is phenomenal so far...I hope they can finish it off.  I have not read a single thing on it because I know it is based on a book and do not want anything spoiled.  I have a bunch of different possibilities and theories going on in my head.  After the most previous episode I have kind of begun to meld several of them together into a theory I really like.  That being said, it is probably completely wrong.

should I be watching this? 

what tier of HBO shows does it fall in? Like Wire/GOT level?

It is different because it is only a limited run series as opposed to actually having multiple seasons, but it is the most engaged I have been in a show since The Leftovers went off the air.  It is basically a small town murder mystery.  The show it most makes me think of is True Detective.
