I won't be surprised too ...

We'll soon start hearing something from the producers that they've never played the game grin


That's the fastest way to piss off fans...
You're making an adaptation and claiming you've never played the game
dem do same thing with "Halo" ?

you purposely ignored where I said that's my opinion based on what I've seen and where I said I haven't seen Supranos and The Wire...
They're on my list...


NB: when it comes to best written series ever... everything is based on opinion...
Even IMDB too...

It's always hard to pick the best among the goated ...
And there are quite a few series on that goated level...from there on its opinion based...that's what I believe

Rolling stone and IMDB isn’t based on just opinions, it takes a lot of reviews from professional critics. You just to see the series for yourself to believe lol

Thesw people no dey taya for this franchise. undecided


So this is the thing. In the 90s there was a whole literal expansion of the star wars universe, starting with Timothy zahns heir to the empire.

It was big. There were multiple novel serials.

When Disney took over, all that was ruled non Canon, but they recognized the potential.

There are multiple throwaway lines in star wars thathave the potential to become money spinners,with the right people behind them

Look at rogue one.

Me I know I am waiting for a kyle katarn and the valley of the jedi movie/serial

They should shanit disappoint me because episode 8 and 9 were complete s**t angry cry

So much wasted potential

like I said...
I don't pick among series I consider goated

E g as stated earlier...some series take crazy plot risks and pull it off while some others make a simpler story and tell it masterfully...
A series with less risk is more likely to score 100% rating than one that takes tons of risks.
Why I added 3 shows on my list that took tons of risks cos in my opinion they pulled off something harder to pull off

If you like breaking bad it would really interest you in watching better call saul it would make you appreciate the genius or Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.it tells all the story before Walter white start cooking and how Jimmy become saul

To expantiate:

Breaking Bad made my list because it was able to pull off a clear story it wanted to tell masterfully...you can't fault the storytelling at all...the character of Walter White is so perfectly done...how he falls deeper and deeper at each point...
I love the self denial of Walter, how flawed his character is to the point of almost hating him and yet you understand him...the ending was perfect too
Honestly Breaking Bad embodies storytelling at one of its best...I don't think I've seen steady character development that matches it elsewhere...

Game of Thrones season 1-5 made my list cos of the immense world building and political strife... everything is so done well...also the unpredictability in these seasons...the characters well written too...the themes of war, destiny, etc
Unfortunately it fell off from season 6

Attack on Titan made my list cos it's the first story I've seen that's able to consistently pull off so many crazy plot twists, highest peaks, crazy story, complex themes and characters...themes of war, genocide, indoctrination, racism, supernatural, etc yet still able to keep everything consistent and planned from beginning to end...has a unique storytelling method I haven't seen elsewhere and new discoveries on every rewatch

Mr Robot...not much words here ...this is a directing masterpiece...every episode is a work of art...a number of episodes deserve to be in a museum...
I literally stop watching to clap for the director many times in this show...


All these are my opinion
I will update them when I watch The Supranos and The Wire
Until then...these are my goated shows

I've said it that MCU and DCU are the only place where producers can get away with ignoring the source material...
There they just mix from different comics and adapt something

Breaking bad”, “the sopranos” and “the wire” are best series of all time, and that’s a known fact. check “Rolling stone 100 greatest series of all” IMDB most rated series of all time” GOT doesn’t make top 10. You should check them especially, the Sopranos.

where can i download THE WIRE?

I just checked Rolling Stone's list of 100 greatest tv shows of all time...
I will state what I noticed:

1. The list is for 100 greatest and not 100 most well written shows...
2. Most shows there are simply there for their impact...and not for their writing
3. The list is filled with 20th century shows...a period where most Hollywood shows were episodic and didn't follow the linear plot that's mostly used today
4. I refuse to believe episodic shows are better written than linear shows
5. Episodic shows will NEVER make my list of goated shows
6. Another proof is that Simpsons was rated higher than GOT...that clearly shows the list is more about impact than the writing
7. Even The Article stated that The Supranos was listed as number 1 simply cos of it's impact
8. The list has not been updated since 2016


my list was for my opinion of most well written shows...I personally don't care about the impact of some 1960s show on the Hollywood industry...

So while I don't disagree with the list... I'm pointing it out to you that I used the words "well-written" for my personal list, while the Rolling Stone list is based on "greatest" so we aren't conflicting in any way

Love, Death and Robots

Season 1....9/10
Season 2....5/10
Season 3....4.5/10

S3 had about only 3 great episodes...others were mostly crap
Jibaro, three robots and the one on the ship (can't remember name) were good

Other episodes were crap

season 1 was a so damn good...and mostly consistent
Season 2 and 3 did not have this consistency...
Both had about 3 good episodes each and the others were bland and repititive stories with different setting

The few good episodes in season 2 and 3 should have been combined into a single season instead of spreading them in-between so many bland stories

These few good episodes cannot save the entire seasons in my opinion...thus my low rating for S2 and s3

Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Baddestguyp(m): 2:23am On May 27, 2022
I just checked online...
And no wonder...
Jibaro and The Witness were produced by the same person...

That Jibaro episode really carried season 3...
But not enough for me...
Three robots and the one in the ship were very good too

Season 1 had so many goated episodes...
Season 2 was repititive af for me...
While season 3 relied too much on gore rather than storytelling...

I don't know if binge watching affected my ratings but only season 1 was consistent throughout...

Some will suggest I rate each story separately and not rate per season...but then it's marketed as a season

I'd have preferred movie for God of War...
The GOD of war series is going to cost lots of money base on how the video game is.
Amazon are going to have major debit alerts. grin grin

I think the main character that played Ragnar in vikings should be used as kratos in the GOD of war series.
He is a perfect fit, he has the body, the face, the fan base and most importantly the accent.

While that Lagarta from vikings too should be the female cast for the horizon series.

They both are the perfect fit.

About the arguments on which Series are the greatest of all time, i think it's based on two factors.
1) Personal opinion
2) Series seen
For most people, their views of which series are greatest of all time depends on which series they have seen.
You can say this Series is the greatest of all time but if i haven't seen the series then i won't agree with you, it doesn't really matter what Rotten tomato or IMDb says and this is where personal opinion comes in.
Do you know there are series you watch and you totally enjoyed and loved and yet when you check IMDb or rotten tomato, the rating are so low and then you realized that Indeed, liking Series is based on personal opinions.
There are Series that are less than 50% on Rotten tomato and yet IMDb gives them more than 8/10.

There are still series that everyone rates highly in general, series like the game of thrones, into the badlands etc
So it varies and this is why when someone rates the shows he or she considers as GOATS, I don't argue with the person because life is based on variety.
You like rice, i like beans.
You like Cardi b, i like Nicky Minaj.
You like real Madrid, I like Barcelona.
You like Biden, i like Donald trump.

You like zeeworld( India movies), i like telenovelas.( Telemundo)

Lagarta is too old to play Alloy na. Alloy was literally only 19 during the first game

Atleast they have achieved their main aim cos I can categorically tell you me and my guys never knew such a game existed in the first place but after all the good reviews we want to watch the series and then cop the games.

Actually I didn't disagree with those top 100 list ..

My issue is that the list is mostly based on influence rather that writing...it was even stated there

No way I would rate 1960s episodic shows just because one site of so-called reviewers pack them full list

I downloaded and watched season 1 yesterday, after seeing high reviews here. I am disappointed with the storyline. Each episode had a different storyline, I was thinking every episode is gonna link or makes sense towards the end.
The only episode that makes sense to me is the Milk (diary) episode. It got me thinking. I have download season 2 sha.

it's an anthology
With different short stories...so every episode is different

Season 1 had many good episodes tho...
But season 2 and 3 were boring as hell...they only had about 3 good episodes each
