rerunning some episodes every week.
All my friends think it's better than the wire and sopranos which are my two favorite series ever. I would choose quite a few hbo programs over deadwood but it's still a really good show. But you have to note, this is coming from someone who is obsessed with the show GIRLS. So what do I know.
HBO always delivers. Breaking Bad wouldn't come close to cracking the HBO top 5 IMO.
Wire
Sopranos
Rome
Boardwalk
Curb
Deadwood
Band of Brothers
Game of Thrones
Really liking the list my man. Rome is absolutely perfectly acted and written. I would kill for one more season. It's great. Here is my top 10 HBO in order. Also I 100% agree with you on BB.
Sopranos
The Wire
Curb
Six Feet Under
Boardwalk
GoT
Rome
Big Love (not kidding, it's great)
Deadwood
True Detective (I think after season 2 this would jump up a few spots)
I would suggest checking out bored to death (Ted Danson & galifinakis (sp), it's pretty great too)
