“ So without ranking them I would say The Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood, Breaking Bad and Boardwalk Empire were among the best shows in the last 25 years “.

I would add Southland and Justified to list.

I did enjoy Justified, got interested because it had a lot of the Deadwood cast making appearances with the star Timothy Olyphant. Southland was interesting to watch too. Regina King was in that, and I just rewatched the HBO Max version of Watchmen where she played the lead. That was I think just an 8 part miniseries but also excellent.

Oh and in Justified, Joelle Carter was soft on the eyes, and Walton Goggins pretty much stole the show. If I recall correctly I heard an interview where they said Goggins was originally only cast for a few episodes as Carter’s former love interest but he did such a great job they decided to write him into the entire series. His career really took off since though I know his first big break was in the supporting cast of one of those cop shows I never saw.
