now that I think of it is this maybe how we ended up with Game of Thrones?
career-high performance also applies to lots of Deadwooders

yeah but GOT at it's best was utter shite anyway!
― calzino, Friday, 22 January 2021 00:24 (three years ago) link
just joking, but arguably it became completely unwatchable when they killed off all the best actors

GOT at its best was still pulp (which doesn't mean bad) was what i was going for there

game of thrones is a show I avoided for ages because of the hype, as someone brought up on myths, legends, Michael moorcock to Tolkien,etc...I got tired of the flame war when I would mention how derivative it was, albeit in an interesting way, when i fully watched it, I enjoyed it but was also not surprised it collapsed on itself as it did, it was a spectacular fall the and I feel some regrets at succumbing to it at all

Game of Thrones was tediously epic, what we need is prestige fantasy focused on just one crew or town (like the Sopranos).

I once would have voted Deadwood but now I must concede its brevity works against it. The movie did not help

oof we just wrapped up the entire series two nights ago (it was my second time, my gf's first) then capped it with the movie and that was uhh not good :-/
Sopranos is all time for me, w Wire & Deadwood right behind it. And I'd bet every single major character except Meadow & Melfi would have been MAGA

Method Man did some good work, but there's no way he was ever given any material to shine like "Pine Barrens" or scenes like this:

During the fourth season of Celebrity Apprentice, Castelluccio was asked by Donald Trump to judge which celebrity designed the best hat. Castelluccio eventually chose La Toya Jackson. She was awarded $25,000 for her charity, the AIDS Project Los Angeles.

Ten years ago I would have said The Wire. Now I would say The Sopranos.
The former is 5 seasons of NPR "Do You See?" (albeit some of it great). The latter is Shakespeare in the swamps of Jersey.
The former is about the past. The latter is about the future.
