Haha it's second for me, but agree with the sentiment. No matter the writing decline, it remains the most enjoyable TV world to revisit.My favourite TV series remains Game of Thrones. Admitting that these days though can get me virtual lynched. Discovered it only last year, saw it twice already and pretty sure I'll finish it 3rd time within this year.
Nothing wrong with it being your fave tbh. To each their own and all that.
The first three seasons are some of the best television in a very long time indeed. Shame it starts to decline really badly almost immediately after that (imo), but I generally enjoyed it even at its worst.
Season 4 was when they accidentally turned a *** scene into a rape, which was when I stopped watching.Agree with a lot of that, but this is the first time I seen someone mildly criticise Season 4 which for me was the most exhilarating season.
I think it's fairly common to start out being kinda into Don Draper and his whole schtick but eventually you do loathe him - then kind of root for him at the last minute.Mad Men is amazing. So beautifully made with really insightful characters and storylines.
People relate to the characters in very different ways, which is one of my favourite things about the show. It's not uncommon to hate Draper. CPR posted before about seeing him as more or less a pure villain. I mostly found myself hoping his better traits would win out over his bad ones... which put me in a similar position to a loooot of the women on the show.
I managed to stay away from it despite it being the only thing people ever seemed to talk about in April and May for close to a decade.My favourite TV series remains Game of Thrones.

Pete's story arc is one of the most satisfying in TV history imo. What's great is the contrast between him and Harry Crane, who you start out liking as he's seemingly the least sleazy then turns into absolutely the worst of them all.This is a good Mad Men take:
I’ve started season 2 again before starting season 3.I re watched first 2 seasons of Dark, yes. Glad I did. There were so many callbacks and plot in general so intricate and complex that I wouldn't have followed and enjoyed season 3 without a re-watch.
.
Season 4 was when the writing became dubious and characters started to behave in ways that were inconsistent with...their character, b cause the plot demanded it.Agree with a lot of that, but this is the first time I seen someone mildly criticise Season 4 which for me was the most exhilarating season.
Season 1 of Fargo is ATG territory. Season 2 is fun - Bokeem Woodbine and Patrick Wilson are outstanding. Great acting aside there is a bit of 'what if Fargo, but 70s nostalgia' to it more than a first season quality storyline.I really liked season 1 of Fargo too. Would make my top 5 all time.
About to finish 'Dark' now. Its pretty good. Would recommend.
Honestly True Detective is a terrible show, the first season was hugely watchable because of the two main leads, but really that was it, oh and a decent bit of soft-porn , but the plotting was average at best.Yeah, my preferred Fargo seasons are definitely 1 > 3 > 2. I'd probably say the same about True Detective as well.
