Lord of the Rings series.
All Marvel movies except for Iron man. Top Gun. Meatballs. Stripes. Cheers. Miami Vice. Law and Order. Any "Chicago" TV drama crap (Chicago hope, Chicago PD, Chicago fire. Probably the most popular and most garbage/cheesy fifteen minutes of TV I tried to watch in a long time. After a few minutes I thought it was a parody show like Reno 911.) Pretty sure there's plenty more. I think for me, if something is mainstream and popular, I just have an aversion to it. Like, I'll never be able to match the fanboyism already out there so I for too reject it. Same with bands. I dated a Girl into the Grateful Dead who wanted me to go to a dead show with her and I was like "nope." Thankfully, I came around on Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. Love both. |

The Sopranos
The Wire The Shield Sons of Anarchy I really think I'd like The Sopranos and probably The Wire. But man, it's just awfully tough to get yourself into an hour long show.

The Wire and The Sopranos would both likely crack my top 5 favorite TV shows of all time. |

Listen to me here - you need to give The Shield a go. It's been a few years since I've watched it, and I'd be willing to bet it's a touch dated now, but you have to do this. So, so worth it. |

As others have said, you gotta get through the first 4-5 episodes of The Wire to get a feel for who everyone is.....lots of characters followed throughout that series.

Didn't get into the shield. But seriously, do the Wire. You'll laugh at some of the technology, but the interest isn't in the procedural, it is the story, and it might be one of the best TV shows ever. Sopranos I only watched 2 years ago, and once I got engaged I was all in. But trying to see the thing objectively, if I didn't consume it, I would have lived a lesser life, but it didn't carry nearly the weight or power that The Wire did. I'd recommend both, but if you only do 1, I'll die on the hill of the Wire. |

I've never watched a full Star Wars movie and I never will if I can help it. Don't care about space queer stuff and honestly the huge fans are such losers I've got no interest in being part of the club.
No to SOA or Yellowstone because I don't care about biker or yeehaw soap operas. Those are the only big, big ones in this thread that I know of. |

Seen some of the first seasons of Sopranos gave it up. Network 1 hour TV with too many commercials. Tried to like Sons of Anarchy but the head of the Anarchy gang every time I saw him I saw the beast from that stupid show Beauty and the Beast. Couldn't take it seriously.

![]() Give the wire a look. It’s not about the procedure, it’s about the story. Sure some of the wiretap technology is out of date but who cares? That’s like saying the drapes in Citizen Kane are out of date. Not worth watching. Just watch it. Interestingly the same dudes made a limited series called We Own This City which has an incredibly similar feel about the corruption in policing in Baltimore. That is a true story the Wire is not, but it just as well be a sequel. The Wire is really good. |
