I agree. It was a lot of fun to watch. Great concept. Good direction. Fun ride of twists and turns. Some of the dialogue was a little unreal but that’s OK. 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’ve watched them all so many times now it’s hard for me to enjoy much of anything else.
I would add Southland and Justified to list.
