Best TV Show EVER - Boardsies Decide: Tournament Thread

I'm torn. Saul is brilliant but faltered in the latest season. The Sopranos is very good but I think slightly overrated.

I'll vote Sopranos for being one of the first series that had to be watched. Started the golden age of TV.

Green&Red

BCS Jimmy is such a dead beat

Bounty Hunter

I really like better Call Saul but it's not yet Breaking Bad and BB is one of the only shows i'd put on the level of The Sopranos. The Wire would be there too but I missed that vote so Sopranos here for me.

ReverseGiraffe

Tough one, Tony Soprano and Saul Goodman are both career defining performances in two fantastic shows.

Only watched Sopranos the whole way through for first time a year ago and it still holds up though, some incredible moments throughout, really sticks with you and James Gandolfini is easily up there with one of the best acting performances in a tv show ever, Bob Odenkirk isn't far behind but not quite at that level. Going with Sopranos

Squall Leonhart

Sopranos. For the believability that Gandolfini brought to the role. Phenomenal acting.

Necro

Sopranos leads 8-1

I'm going to break for an hour after the conclusion of this one folks. Have me some dinner, and let people get in for the evening.

Once this one concludes I'll aim to restart for about 7.30 and we'll throw out a few up until about 10.

Then back tomorrow at the earlier time of 11am

Ah here it's like asking me to choose between 2 sons

Going with sopranos - the relationship between tony and melfi, chris and adriana, big pussy as go between for the feds and the wolves. brilliant.

Necro

Sopranos advances with a 9-1 victory.

See y'all at 7.30pm folks

VS



Line Of Duty

fixXxer

Reeling In The Years: Invaluable look at our own history so we can see how far we've come

Line of Duty is just The Bill 2.0

Vote RitY

duffman13

Reeling in the years is excellent entertainment, I dont however await the next episode eagerly like I do with line of duty which is also great entertainment

Line of Duty for me

MrKingsley

Reeling in the years. Wouldn’t ever not watch it and every episode is incredibly interesting both regarding Ireland and international events

Line of duty. Quality tv. I'm on the beach and can't think at the mo. But the head guy.. from northern Ireland. Ted! Brilliant actor and when he's angry at them... I feel like I'm in trouble too!

Niska

Reeling in the years
Nostalgia may not be what it was but each episide mixes local news and music well as well as the big international bits

khalessi

Reeling in the years as its nostalgic and informative with great music

Choochtown

Reeling in the Years for me.

Always will trigger something ; melancholy, anger, laughter, sadness...

quickbeam

Meh.
