 Hello,
 What do you think is the best HBO series ever made?
 
 Top 5 for me :
 
 1)Band of Brothers
 2) True Detective
 3) Game of thrones
 4) The Wire
 5) The Pacific

 Even if he was a regular he should have been banned for not including Deadwood. Philistine.  |

 But he gets a point for putting Band of Brothers at #1.

 Minus points for it not being The Wire. Let's pretend 90% of season 5 didn't happen. |

 Rome. True Detective. 
 Those are adequate first spot options.
 
 Rasix would only put The Wire there because he didn't live in Maryland ever.

 But he loses the point again for missing out the space after the 1). |

 It's not top-5, but the Ricky Gervais Show was damn entertaining
 Also Game of Thrones is great, but it's not better than Rome or The Wire.

 Dream On. It was the softest of porn, but it was all some of us had in that era. God bless it. |

 2020 will be the year I gave up all hope. |  |  |

 Dream On is pretty painfully bad when you see it now but I will always love it for the episode where Martin finds out his dad is gay and we cut to a clip of a 50s sitcom where a kid says in reference to a fight between his dad and his friend's dad, "Who cares whose father can lick whose father?" 
 Rome is still underappreciated. Esp. the first season.
 
 I think Band of Brothers is a bit overrated but I still like it a lot.

 Everyone forgets Hardcore TV was on HBO forever ago. It's the best. Except for the second season, which only had a few great bits.Spamby |

 My favorite is probably Wire since both Deadwood and Carnivale lacked the ending they deserved. I might have added True Detective to my top 3 but season 2 was such a disappointment (compared to season 1 which is probably the best single season of HBO in my opinion).

 For me, it's...
 
 Wire/Rome/BoB
 GoT
 Deadwood/Boardwalk/Carnivale

 David Bowie's appearance on Dream On still makes me laugh. And Dream On might not hold up now, but at least it was funny when it was new so it's got Arli$$ beat. |
