Best Single Season of TV in Last 16 Years?

Why is it Fargo Season 2?


I guess you could make an argument for Fargo Season 1

Mad Men Season 5

Fargo (TV) is entertainment ONLY and doesn't even enter into the conversation.

since you provided no alternative i'll assume you were joking

I'm not joking. Every season of The Sopranos or Mad Men blows it out of the water for starters. No pure entertainment show can ever approach the highest tier of the medium.

I'd give it to season one, but only because I'm not crazy about how Hanzee's plot line was wrapped up

Can not wait until season 3

>The Sopranos
>Mad Men

LOL, soap operas for fat housewives. Best season of TV is True Detective.

So you admit you haven't seen it.

Are you forgetting all the kino shots in both seasons?

rewatch it and get back to me

I've seen it, and both shows are better than Fargo Season 2. Fargo is great, but they're better.

>True Detective.
Video game sensibility pro-entertainment pornography just like Fargo.
Self consciously "artistic" cinematography only represents the best of what television has to offer with IMDB sensibilities. The modern model of prestige television that is essentially a fedoracore thriller movie stretched out over the running time of a television season is the cancer. Diving deep into the ensemble and developing characters over many years is the strength of televison.

We're talking about individual seasons, not shows. The Sopranos is the best show overall but never had any truly great standalone seasons, never seen le Mad Men

I watched all of season 1 on 2 12 hour flights and it started strong and just went full retard trying to out do itself. Fucking with the store owner and the whole biblical allegory that was so hamfisted, the comical shoot out scene at the mafia stronghold, not to mention how completely vague the villain's motives felt. Tom hanks character and the replacement chief were incompetent to the point of complete silliness.

In my opinion the series started out great but went to hard to fast and had to keep upping the stakes. I did really enjoy the main character and those two hit men were based. It was entertaining but nothing amazing.

Is season 2 better? Should I check it out?

Every season of The Sopranos is truly great. And accusing them of not standing alone is as ridiculous as criticising the chapters in a book for not standing alone.

If you haven't seen Mad Men then you are in no position to be talking about the best modern television.

he is right the best shows are never entertaining

>the best shows are never entertaining

what did he mean by this?

In terms of engaging a viewer entertainment is the lowest hanging fruit.

what it sounds like you're saying is that writing is more important than imagery in television.

that's a cute notion but please remember that television and film are both visual mediums.

Also, how can you compare the character development of a two season unfinished show to a 6 season completed series?

>what it sounds like you're saying is that writing is more important than imagery in television.
If you're actually going to take advantage of the medium then I absolutely believe it is.
>please remember that television and film are both visual mediums.
And television can still be absolutely be appreciated on a visual level but I think that judging the quality of a televison show by how much it resembles cinema is a big mistake. The exploration of a Don Draper or a Anthony Soprano is always going to be a better example of the power of television to me than an 8 hour long thriller movie with glossy cinematography.

So many shit opinions. All of you are wrong and suck dick

S2 is really better. The main character is the father of the main character of S1 in his young age.

Season 3 of Fargo and twin peaks are literally the only reasons i'm not going to off myself this year

I really get to be the first one to mention The Wire season 4?

me too!
high five

I watched Bone Tomahawk at the weekend.

Anybody else find Patrick Wilson really likeable?

Season 2 is complete meme dogshit compared to the the superior first season.

Season 3 when? Feels like it's been over a year since the last one already

>Fargo Season 2
I came to this board right now for this one, i was convinced there was a thread about it.
I watched season 1 last week and am halfway season 2 now.
1 was amazing, i really enjoyed it and would rate it 8,5/10
But season 2 so far is a 9/10, i havent watched something this good since Dexter or The Americans.
Im a bit concerned about the UFO they showed in the first episode, i wonder what direction that will go (pls no spoilers) but so far it is really great and i enjoy every episode a lot.
Next is episode 7.

Most of the cucks got chased out of Sup Forums so yes.

You are stupid for praising Dexter. On the other hand, you are smart for praising The Americans.

>i havent watched something this good since Dexter
This tells you all you need to know about the people who think Fargo is a top tier show.

The Leftovers Season 2 GOAT
Mad Men Season 4 and 5 second place
Rectify, every season
The Americans, every season.

And as much as we like to meme it, True Detective season 1 was great.

>likes dexter
>Thinks season 2 of Fargo is the best

How to spot a redditor and shit taste.

...

I suppose Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones are good shows too.

i thought OP was talking about this decade only.

Fuck off OP, The Sopranos is the best show of all time and nothing has come close to it. GOAT of GOATs

superhero flicks have good meta ratings too

Are you asking me if i think they are good? Cause thats how opinions work, they are not facts.
No i dont like Game of Thrones but i did enjoy Breaking Bad as did the majority of the public

SO what show do you like that has a shitty rating but you recommend?

2nd The Leftovers S2

I wouldn't know, i looked up the rating of a bunch of shows and everything i remember watching is 8+, fuck ratings, you should only care about your opinion, that's why posting the fucking rating a bunch of mediocre critics gave to something you enjoy when defending said thing is retarded.

>as did the majority of the public
Winning the approval of a mainstream audience of video game players, capeshit viewers and pornography consumers is not exactly a positive sign.

No one is 'defending' anything, just listing shows they like

Won the approval of critics too, I suppose that's no positive sign either

>look at me I'm such a fucking hipster

The millennial bloggers raised on a diet of Tarantino and Star Wars? No it's not.

I thought i was talking to the guy posting Dexter's imdb rating

"Hipster" is a Jew created meme made to encourage conformity within the weak minded so they will keep buying their product without question.

It is exactly the goal of a tv show though, enjoying a tv show or not is a matter of opinion, obviously.
But attracting lots of viewers and generating profit is what makes a show succesful.
So when labeling a show as "good", as in reaching its objective, yes, winning the approval of mainstraim audience is indeed a good sign

This.

"Typical plebeian reaction, to hate when you don't understand"

Go back to a board with ID's.

>and I'm redpilled too!

Good thing I care about the medium on an artistic level rather than being concerned with how much of a profit it turns. That way I can praise high quality content and not have to applaud absolute trash for being the most effective cynical pandering.

By posting your memes and non arguments you only make a fool of yourself. You don't know what to respond, you fall back on your reaction images. Embarrasing.

Lorne Mavlo is the best antagonist in any show ever, but overall season 2 is better

...

can you cunts shut up?

>Lorne Mavlo is the best antagonist in any show ever
Well said my good sir, and what a classy fedora you are wearing.


Honestly though if you're watching a show with "antagonist" characters in the first place then you're sitting firmly at the pleb table.

>I'm the ultimate Keyboard warrior hear me roar!!!! None shall stand before me and my red pilled patrician taste!!

You are the one tipping fedora here my overweight friend, I'm just a normie Chad

Seriously, nobody mentions The Shield Season 7?

Fucking plebs, the lot of you.

Because it's pleb schlock. Only reason it isn't as hated as the likes of Breaking Bad here is that nobody gives enough of a shit about it for it to have a backlash.

the wire and its not even close

I'm
The Shield is another pleb show not fit for patrician taste like me. Any show that has good or bad guys is shit. Plus a lot of people like that show, on Sup Forums , reddit and beyond so that shit must fucking suck. Also panders to black people like most kike run shows.

(You) enjoy it, you deserve it.

no, go back to your favorite website

Jokes on you because although I would have worded it differently, I agree with all of those sentiments on an unironic level so all you've done is save me the trouble of typing.

>it wasn't a 2deep4u character study therefore it sucks
Lol.

>INSTED IT WERE VIDEO GAME PORNO SO I LIKE VERY MUCH GOT ALL DA EXPLUSHINS AND DA BOOBDIES DAT EPIC MEME

So I guess you think all comedies are shit then?

Jokes on you because you are a fucking faggit

Actually yes. Amusement is the most plebeian emotion.

Say the "funny" thing and the proles begin to flap their mouths and hoot.

Well at least your retardation is consistent.

10/10 COMEDY KINO

What do you like?

I grew out of enjoying things at around age 20.

How old are you know? 21?
Also, when was the last time you had your cock in a cunt?

You misspelled The Young Pope

24. May last year but it was a prostitute.

Honestly I'm 23 and fucked a hooker on Xmas. We might be the same person. I still think youre kinda gay though but now that I understand you a little better, you're not as gay.

I'll stop shit posting now and go fuck up another thread.

If making insincere inflammatory posts on Sup Forums all night to get a rise out of people because that's the only way you know how to interact is kinda gay then I am kinda gay.

So you'll wait for them turning to shit? Nice
