Your top five favourite TV series

**somtamslap** · 22-09-2015, 07:55 PM

In a ruse to determine the best of the best and pick up a recommendation or two without having to sift through all 7 billion pages of the exisiting movie/tv thread, I thought that we might all add our own, if we were feeling so inclined...

1. The Wire
2. The Shield
3. Boardwalk Empire
4. Ray Donovan
5. Game of Thrones

**Davis Knowlton** · 22-09-2015, 08:01 PM

^You got most of mine. I'd add Band of Brothers and The Sopranos. And Peaky Blinders and The Knick, And The Americans.
