The fact you didn't like any of the charactors is what makes ot such a good show.

Why would you like them or have sympathy for them.
I only think Krysten Ritters charactor I ever felt sympathy for and Mike was the only likeable one in truth.

They are drug dealers and criminals, you are not supposed to like them imho.


Ray Donovan is a good exame of a great drama with no charactor you wouldn't care about if they died, as they are all cunts.

Come to think of it, I am suprised it isn't on the list

Its not about liking them as such, it’s understanding the motivation for why the way they are. I got the descent of Walters character, it just went too far to the point I didn’t find it interesting anymore.

In Season 3 of Community, Omar pops up as a college professor and he utters the line "A man gotta have a code."

Wire nods.

2 of my top 5 Spiral and The Handmaid's Tale aren't even going to make the 100. Very surprised about that

A lot you would expect have missed out, I am at first suprised at the handmaids tale, but even though it is a great show I still haven't finished the 3rd searies as I missed two weeks and just haven't been enthused to go back yet.

looking back the list is a mix of truly top class shows a bit of nostalgia and those marketed as great and popular, but haven't stood the test of time or worth a rewatch, and I think really only a show you would want to watch again is what you could class as a good show.

My 20 were shows that I have rewatched at least 3 times or more, and 10 won't make the list, because I doubt others have.
 
4. Bread 17/301

Bread is a British television sitcom, written by Carla Lane, about a close-knit, working-class family in Liverpool, England. It was produced by the BBC and screened on BBC1 from 1 May 1986 to 3 November 1991. In 1988, the ratings for the series peaked at 21 million viewers.

The series focused on the extended Boswell family of Liverpool, in the district of Dingle. The family were Catholic and working class, and led by the acid-tongued matriarch Nellie Boswell (Jean Boht) who ruled over her family with an iron fist. Early series focused on her children attempting to make enough money (in English slang, "Bread") to support the family through various illicit means. Later series saw less emphasis on making money schemes, and more storylines focusing on the characters' love lives and marriages.
