Beef - Superb show up until the last 2 episodes.

an excellent summary. worth a watch for sure but drifted at end

It's funny how TV shows are rated and it's getting increasingly difficult the more TV shows that are made.
I was thinking abnoiut this earlier.

I don't think I can rate a top 5 or 10 anymore....so many contenders but they're all different in their own ways so perhaps I need a Venn diagram vibe instead.

For example, Mad Men always hovers at the top but so does the first True Detective, Mindhunter, Wire and Sopranos.
But then you have Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and Ozark which pipe in more humour and extravagant and outlandish set pieces.
And I've just finished The Boys (Season 3) and can't recall a time I've had so much fun watching a TV show.

Utterly fucked up satire but so much joy - any fans on here?

Watched some old episodes of Death in Paradise with Ardal O'Hanlon, disappointing, he didn't shout TED once.

Beef.

Superb.

Finished that last night, a brilliant series. The best I have seen this year so far I would say.

The last 2 episodes especially the final 1 was very draggy I felt. Almost a very good series but lost its way a bit.

Loved The Boys, and agree with your point there too. Never really felt a need to rank tv shows, I just enjoy them or I don’t. Which one I’d rather watch is then based on my mood at any particular time.

Seems to be the thing nowadays that everything has to be ranked. Comparing footballers that play in completely different positions drives me mad too!

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

I find the majority of people who watched and really enjoyed The Wire seem to then get a serious bout of TV snobbery.

They cant understand why you don't agree its the best TV show ever and will then look down at you.

For someone who thinks True Detective season 1 is absolutely brilliant and then thinks that season 2 was pretty boring, how would they find season 3?

Somewhere in-between.
