what's a tv series that is not shit tv?

Hannibal.

red dwarf

There are some decent tv shows, but it will always be an inferior form of a visual medium compared to film.

Taboo and West World are both pretty great. Taboo mostly for the mood/characters/visual designs and West World for its plot.

King of Queens

maybe frasier? can't think of anything else

They're great if you're in high school and/or stunted.

Baskets

True Detective. Both seasons.

Quarry is pretty good

Father Ted
Deadwood
Freaks and Geeks
Rome
Black Sails
Fargo

What do you consider to be great television?

There has never been a good television show or film.

Twin Peaks is the only true answer

Twin peaks is terrible

I haven't seen it.

River.
Broadchurch.
Happy Valley.

The Holy Trinity:
Mad Men, Sopranos, The Wire

Telekinographie:
Rome, Deadwood, Show Me a Hero, Generation Kill, Louie, The Lil Pope

Legendary:
Larry Sanders Show

GOAT comedy:
Eastbound/Vice Principals, Peep Show, Snuff Box, Inbetweeners, Alan Partridge, Nathan for you

Enjoy your telavivision, children. I'm not going to stop you. I don't care enough.

>everything is bad

And you act like i'm the teenager here. Nice projecting,

this is b8

this has to be b8

>what if we ironically made a soap opera
wow, such a great show

Deadwood, Mad Men, Twin Peaks.
Honorable mentions for The Sopranos and The Wire.
That's about it, really.

Currently watching Legion. It is not like any other capeshit. Actually it is more mindfuck psychological horror thriller than capeshit. Stunning visuals and soundtrack. TV should talk more about it. Really worth watching for anybody who hates capeshit tv shows. This one is not like the others. A true gem.

Stop posting

no u

>haha fuck black levels

it's a nice picture

For those who care here a few worthwhile shows:

Generation Kill
Das Boot

the night of
Fortitude
Aqua Teen Hunger Force

>Fortitude
mein negger

i have watched 7 eps of the leftovers today, pretty good

Into the Badlands

>Sopranos
>Honorable mention

That should be the first on your list, Reddit

Liking Mad Men is the real reddit giveaway. If you weren't a little reddit yourself, you would've known that. The fact he doesn't appreciate The Sopranos adequately enough shouldn't be surprising.

You are mistaken, the Reddit is (You). Mad Men is easily at least on par with Sopranos.

Black Mirror definitely

i mean i get that this thread is you not liking tv and making fun of anyone who proposes anything but thats just wrong

>Better Call Saul
How did BCS end up in that list? It taints the selection somehow.

Are you saying the show isn't an ironic soap opera? because that is the literal premise.

I'm saying the premise is deeper than an ironic soap opera but I'm leaving your bait thread

...

I'm not even OP, and it's really not deeper than that.

It's not ironic, it's actually quite sincere, with tongue-in-cheek peppered throughout. Self-awareness isn't the same as irony.
There's so much more to it than a soap opera, though. It's rightly considered to be the pioneer of modern television, perhaps not by the younger tv audience, but by industry professionals and showrunners themselves.

>It's rightly considered to be the pioneer of modern television
You say that like it's a good thing.

Replace Mad Men with Oz and you would be right.

>(inferior rehash rip-off of show) is easily at least on par with (show)

>Mad Men
>rehash/rip-off of Sopranos
That's the dumbest opinion I've heard all week.

It's not an opinion, it's an objectively true observation.

>The Wire
Most elaborated tv show in our time

I'm afraid you're mistaken, it's actually objectively false.

come 'ere you rat!

i'm not saying i'm so much better than you but don't be a fag, i mean the wire, leftlovers, mad men even breaking bad is better than your shit

Manimal

american television is filled with boring drama or senseless violence, they quickly gloss over the sex and never mention anything remotely close to controversial, like religion, culture or serious politics (like why the fuck is American military in every country in the world except Iran and North Korea).

So fuck American television.

THE LEFTOVERS. Such a great show. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
