mcsluggo Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 26 minutes ago, Bacon said: ..... BoJack Horseman Probably the best show on television today. The writing and continuity is absolutely peerless and each detail has the potential to build to something unexpected, heartbreaking or wonderful. It's a potent example of the modern anti-hero, but given color and humor. Every season of BJH leaves me feeling hollow and lost by the time it's over, but the journey to get there is so full of laughs that it balances out the existential horror. ..... i keep TRYING to give Bojack Horseman a chance.... watched the first episode, and my wife hated it so much she was almost mad (I thought it was just "meh") after a few months, tried episode 2 (wife was still "wtf!!??" i was still "meh") a few months (and many recommendations) later, mutual "meh" fest..... ... does it get better? or do i just not get it?

Yes, it gets better. A million times yes. I'd just skip to episode 4 if I were you and even that one doesn't really hit until the last few minutes. I really struggled until that point. It's not horrible, just resoundingly average. From episode 5 on it's basically perfect. Look at the metacritic score for season 1 and then compare it to 2 and 3. It was such a big change in quality that one website (I want to say Slant) had to change their policy on reviewing television shows. They gave the season a C or something for the first handful of episodes alone and did a retraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 If The Wire was just seasons 1, 3 and 4, it would have made my list. Season 4 is one of the best in television history. Not that 2 and 5 are bad or anything (the series finale is incredible), they're just kind of inconsistent and meh. And that's 40% of the series right there.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 In no order: The Wire Battlestar Galactica (reboot) Stargate Atlantis Rescue Me Breaking Bad The Shield I had to go with six and it was hard not to go with 15-20. I really want to put 24 on the list too. I tried to go with series that were solid gold from the beginning to the end, not any real weak seasons. I'd say all were solid throughout and I've definitely rewatched all of those multiple times over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
