From https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/hbo/best-hbo-series/, they ranked what they say are the Top 50 HBO series of all time.

I don't think we can really complain about the top 5:

  • The Wire
  • The Sopranos
  • Band of Brothers
  • Barry
  • Six Feet Under

Happy to see BARRY that high up the list

Game of Thrones still made Top 10, but I wonder if the overhyped letdown of the final season dropped them a few slots

The middle 10-20 slots are all fairly solid shows.  I'd have probably ranked Watchmen up a smidge closer to #1 from where it is. Almost definitely would have ranked I May Destroy You into a better number than where it landed

Boardwalk Empire could likely slide back into the higher numbers

Westworld at #36 is a surprise. Season one was fantastic, certainly better than Beartown. OZ at 42 is a travesty. That show (again, season one praise) was really good.  And Euphoria definitely deserves better than it's #50 landing slot.

Your thoughts?

I counted 5 on the list I have not seen. Nonetheless, some goods ones too far down on the list: Oz, Big Love, Vice Principals (fugging hilarious), Silicon Valley at 43?!?!

The Comeback and Enlightened were awful, and how did Luck even make the list when it ran only 2 or 3 episodes?

Newsroom didn't make the list at all?

I still put GOT at 3 on that list even with the hurried, badly written letdown of the final season.  I fuggin loved that show overall.  BOB would come 4th for me followed by Chernobyl.

I really liked The Jinx as well.  

I have begun and lost interest in The Leftovers, Six Feet Under, Rome, Boardwalk Empire and Westworld (this one I should have loved but it was too slow)

Newsroom should be top ten.

Probably too late to talk spoilers, but westworld season one doesn’t get rocking until about episode 5.   If you haven’t read WW spoilers, give the whole of season one another chance .

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
