My favorite TV series (probably are more than these)
The Walking Dead - I missed the first couple of seasons, didn't think I'd like a movie about "zombies". But it's so much more than that! I watched a marathon showing of the first couple of seasons and it's become a huge favorite.
Game of Thrones - (I had read the books and was psyched a TV series was being made. They do a great job with the characters and the show! Actors play the parts of the book characters extremely well.)
Breaking Bad - I didn't watch the first couple of seasons but got caught up during a marathon showing and was very much hooked. I've seen the series about three times now.
Black Sails - is another series that I missed out on the first seasons. Got caught up and now watching the last season.
The Americans - Good show, another favorite.
The Strain - I've seen this show from the beginning episode. When it comes on again it'll on the third or fourth season.

Here is all of the TV shows i scored a 7 or higher...
1.The Sopranos (1999-2007) - 10/10 -.Breaking Bad (2008-2013)
3.Dexter (2006-2013) - 7.5-8/10 (i have actually viewed this for the first time not all that long ago (i.e. Sep 1st through Oct 3rd 2016). ill have to see how it is on a re-watch eventually.)
4.Spartacus (2010-2013) - 7/10 5.Boardwalk Empire (2010-2014) -.The Wire (2002-2008) 7.Death Note (2006-2007) - 6.5-7/10 (i generally avoid animated things but this is worked well even though it generally seems to be losing steam on each viewing of it as i have seen it three times in it's entirety so far which was back around the time it was new(9/10-ish), then Feb 2012(dropped down to a 7.5-8/10), then June-Aug 2016(dropped back to it's current score))
NOTE: am i the only person who thinks Game of Thrones is quite overrated? ; to me it's ultimately forgettable as i stopped watching that show a while ago (it has some good parts in it but overall it does not hold my interest well enough) as at the end of the day the show has no re-watch appeal for me and that's where things are ultimately made or broke in the long term.
p.s. i plan on re-watching Breaking Bad (and probably The Sopranos also) before 2017 is finished, maybe 2018 at the latest. this way i can see how Breaking Bad holds up from a re-watch from start to finish after i let it settle for about 4 years now since it finished airing and i never re-watched it in it's entirety yet from start to finish unlike The Sopranos which my previous re-watch of that was back in the year 2013 and it held strong. my best guess... while it's possible it could remain tied with The Sopranos i won't be surprised if it loses a bit of steam on a re-watch but ill just have to wait and see. also, ill probably re-watch Boardwalk Empire before 2018 is finished i imagine.

I like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones but not enough to include them in my top 10. I judge my favourite shows on how re-watchable they are and characters that I care for, and both of these shows have none of that to me

I've re-watched it more than any other show and will again and again. Most expensive show in history. Brilliant cast. Unsurpassed quality. I guess i am in the minority on this one. but i will say it's just not as easy to follow as most shows are as you got a billion characters doing a ton of things and you have to keep track of character names etc etc, which does not help it which is where shows like Breaking Bad/The Sopranos etc do much better as i tend to prefer less but more interesting characters, and easier to follow, then having a ton of characters but many of them are nothing special, and harder to follow. also, maybe it's partially the general theme of it (Game of Thrones) i don't find as interesting as themes like Breaking Bad/The Sopranos with that whole crime/drama (and the like) aspect which a decent portion of my favorite movies are in that genre (and variations). also, i did not know that it's the most expensive show in history but i am not surprised though as it does look like it's going to be on the higher cost side of things. but i guess at the end of the day... we all have our opinions on things, and obviously, i recognize that Game of Thrones is a really popular show, it's just that it's nothing special in my mind. also, like i have said before... no matter how supposedly good a show(or even movie for that matter) is, there are going to be some people who don't care for it and that even goes for my favorites, which are... Breaking Bad/The Sopranos. but at the same time for someone not to get quite excited watching some of the stuff in Breaking Bad play out i would begin to question if they have a pulse with that said... in terms of what TV shows i re-watched the most, i would probably say The Sopranos currently. but then again i can't imagine i have re-watched many shows in their entirety in general and even with The Sopranos is likely less than 5 times. i would estimate i have re-watched that in it's entirety probably 3 times (maybe 4 tops). i generally re-watch much more movies than TV shows especially given a typical movie takes around 2 hours of your time to finish where as a TV show burns up many hours of your time. so i tend to be a bit more picky with TV shows.

Your not alone, lots of women aren't into fantasy. My favorite genre is Espionage/Thriller but Crime is right up there as well. Everyone seems to have a show they dislike because it seems to get way too much hype in their opinion. For me that show was Walking Dead but ive come around. Too me GOT is the greatest show of all time but Breaking Bad and The Sopranos are also in my top 5.

Too me GOT is the greatest show of all time but Breaking Bad and The Sopranos are also in my top 5. i am a 37 year old male (NOTE: if you notice on this site it has that blue looking icon to the right of the post count, that tells you someone is a male. the females have a different icon which is pink in color.). it seems a lot of people assume i am a female because of my avatar picture. my avatar picture is the actress Vera Farmiga and that picture itself is from the movie At Middleton (2013) (7-7.5/10 ; within my Top 199 movies or not much outside of my Top 109 movies). with that said... it's not that i dislike Game of Thrones simply because it's popular as i never dislike a show/movie because of that as i am always honest with my ratings of shows/movies regardless if i feel a show/movie is overrated/underrated ill always rate it honestly. but it's easy for me to say something is quite overrated if i find it average/forgettable and others say it's amongst the very top shows out there. as for The Walking Dead... i never bothered with it as i am confident it won't be nothing special and it's sad this is much more viewed than Breaking Bad (both of which aired on the same TV station which is AMC) which it's pretty safe for me to say Breaking Bad is a far superior show. but being that whole horror/zombie genre seems to be quite popular with the young crowds it's not too surprising it has the viewers it did. but for me that who Horror/Zombie type of stuff are largely a dime-a-dozen. in fact, when going strictly by what IMDb shows as part of 'Horror' there is a VERY limited amount of movies i gave a 7 or higher which are... Interview with the Vampire (1994)(8/10)/The Fly (1986)(7/10). even if i want to go a little deeper and include my 6-6.5/10 range movies that still only adds in... The Neon Demon (2016)/Byzantium (2012-2013)/The Last House on The Left (2009). so as you can see it's a very limited group for me (there is still more i like beyond those though). thanks for your time

Nobody ever say they love bones, but it s my favorite show. When my parents com. Visit we always watch it together. I hear David Boneaz is not a nice person, but I don't care he is a beefcake stud and I love him so much and when he was in angel. To. I always wished I was buffy so we could kiss. Now I will never get another kiss because only my parents com to visit. They don't know about my drinking coz I hide it fROM them .I am good at that at least. I think my boss is love with me ? I guess I can pretend it's booth . He doesn't believe in gravity thogh 😢
I also liked toddlers in tiaras coz I always wish I could be a little girl who🍓 has arms and legs that work right. I am falling apart😢

South Park and The X-Files would be up there for me. Futurama is my favourite, though. X-Files was my all time favorite. Loved the series and fell in lust with David Duchovny. Watched his other series Californication and then Aquarius although that only lasted two seasons.
