You could say that of most elected democrats over the age of 50 lol

Season 2 of The Wire is such a massive change of gears from season 1, it can be really jarring to first-time viewers, and a lot of people see it as an outlier and a departure from the core of the show, but once you've seen the whole series, its placement makes way more sense, and people who've rewatched it consider it one of the best.

In general, I'd also recommend people starting The Wire understand that it's super dense and will require a high degree of attention. If you're second-screening or doing other stuff while it's on in the background, you'll have a really hard time getting into it.

Mr. Robot's season 2 has a similar issue. The whole season revolves around a big twist, making everything feel weird and just generally off, and most people seemed to find the twist cheap and that's when the general popularity of the show disappeared, but I think seasons 3 and 4 are excellent and even if 2 seems like a slog, it's worth pushing through. Similar to The Wire, I also find Mr. Robot S2 to be more effective upon rewatch.

I will watch anything with his name on it. I know that this description gets thrown around a lot, but Atlanta really did feel like nothing else on Television right now. Such a unique tone and atmosphere. Great writing, acting, direction, character development and cinematography.

Do a search of this sub. There were a few posts about it when it premiered.

Edit: To those of you downvoting, if you were really interested in people’s opinions about this show you would do a search. There have been many previous good discussions about this show on this subreddit.

Your logic: “oh two good shows are still on” hurrrr durrr

''Get through season 1 and then you will come to experience one of the best shows ever made''

That is a good description for ''Person of Interest''.

No I have issues with Netflix Netflix fucking sucks at marketing movies and shows I think Netflix is stupid for not doing theatrical releases and Netflix is terribly inconsistent on content especially movies but just lying and spreading shit about how they cancel everything and you have to have stranger things or Wednesday numbers is untrue and makes people like you look bad

Yes, International Assassin.

Totally agree. Have never felt the emotions I felt from that episode, from visual media before. It was like a poem. I fucking love that show.

Yeah well Picard was only ever close to Crusher ... he's the captain. Everyone else was at arm's length.

Locks them up for ages and takes them away from other potentially successful projects. For a couple of seasons at its peak Downton abbey had the mortality rate of a medieval village going through the Black Death, as everyone was trying to break out into movies

The first season of Community is great…

Listen, I agree they're doing too much content at the same time and are thus forced to cancel a lot of things. It sucks.

But these shows in particular are not any of their ''most successful shows''.

Also, Bridgerton apparently did even better than The Witcher and Stranger Things season 3. It's a massive hit.

Neither did I. But partly because that was my theory the whole time. So for me she just confirmed it. Never considered she might be lying until I looked online

Shut up Netflix shill

Youre blind

I swear half of this sub are either Netflix hating bots or just stupid

I'm not seeing any of these among any top lists going by released numbers. Sucks but seems they didn't do well enough.

CW shows, apparently. They ostensibly targeted teens but actual demos showed they were most popular with 45+ viewers.

Homeward bound. I wish I was homeward bound.

no, she just doesnt have a story anymore after s1, same with RJP, they become background characters as each book focuses on someone else

There's a one-hour documentary called "Chaos on the Bridge" which is all about the inception and first few years of Star Trek The Next Generation. It's a really fascinating look inside what was very nearly a trainwreck. Between Roddenberry being more than a little off the rails, and the sheer anarchy that ensued when nobody knew what to do, it's insane. One part talks about how the show had hired and fired over thirty writers just in the first two seasons.
