Both are excellent shows, but If you ask 100 different people which is better (survey says!) you'll get plenty of people putting GoT over BB.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I'm currently about halfway through the first season of Oz. Fun to see peeps like JK Simmons and Edie Falco before they were stars. Also fun to see some stars clinging to their early-90's cachet (like Jamaican sprinter-turned-bobsleder Darice Bannock). Also, lots of peeps from forthcoming HBO series (Bodie and Burrell, from The Wire, for example). All in all it's a bit disjointed, but you can almost feel the freedom the directors and writers are experiencing with an extended series on premium cable, as they try out a lot of stuff and go down a lot of wormholes that wouldn't fly in movies or on basic cable. It's pretty clear already that this show laid some important groundwork for the Golden Age of Television, even if the show itself probably doesn't crack the pantheon (TBD--lots of episodes to go).Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

I liked Poldark season 1. I’ve stalled midway through season 2. There are some truly ridiculous storylines in season 2.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

You don't know the half of it. Wait until you see Christopher Meloni spread his butt cheeks and you'll finally understand the full extent of that freedom those guys felt.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostPart of it is based on academic grounds.

GoT is verboten in my House.
If we include miniseries, my top 4 are probably:
1. BB
2. Band of Brothers
3. LOST (the shitty ending notwithstanding)
4. John AdamsJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

While you COULD apply the Soap Opera label to most British Costume Dramas, the reason many of them are worth watching is because they rise above it. The first couple of seasons of Downton Abbey, for example, are just excellent TV, but then it begins a slow descent in to more pedestrian melodramatic fare. Poldark is the same, IMO. Poldark was very good to begin, but it all gets to be a bit much as it drags on. We are still watching season three, but only as a sort of filler. It sits on the DVR until we get around to it, as opposed to being something we are waiting for every Sunday night. And I am quite happy not being in the mainstream with the episode reviews on IMDB. Due to my wife's interests I have watched a lot of this stuff (a LOT) over the years and even if you or most don't agree, I know what I like. I am very, very glad, however, that you are enjoying it. Tally ho!PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

I binged watched Breaking Bad for the first time. That's a tough show to binge watch. I was so stressed out the whole final season.
What a great show.Comment

Easy there, Tiger. There are at least three people here saying it tanked after season 1. I was just curious to see if I was taking crazy pills for thinking it hasn’t changed much or if there is a broader consensus out there. That’s all.Originally posted by creekster View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I still think 24 is fun but it does not age well. I hadn't watched any of Mad Men or BB when I wrote my previous list. If Miniseries counted, I would put The People Vs. OJ Simpson somewhere in there.Comment
