Trying to sleep with Roman is difficult. Damn near impossible really.

Itās not even White Lotus level.
Thereās probably fifty shows that are better and a few of them arenāt worth watching imo.

Fifty in the prestige era or in the last three years?
I was referring to the latter. The former is not even close.
I can probably rattle off 50 in the last 20 years without thinking.
I was talking prestige era. Sounds like I watch less TV than you. Not sure Iāve watched 50 drama series total in prestige era.
Please rattle off your list. Iām always looking for shows to watch.
This could be a game changer. I jumped on the current trend months ago of turning on subtitles in every non-sports broadcast because invariably the dialog is 4/10, music is 9/10, and effects are 15/10 so I canāt hear shit anyone says anymore in most things
Writing. Acting. Arguably the best dialogue of any show besides maybe Mad Men imho.

And thatās not even getting into all the one-off random documentaries, Ken Burnsā Vietnam immediately leaps to mind, that Iād rather watch 20 times before lolSuccession.

Of course there are also several pre-Sopranos shows, Twin Peaks GOAT, that are better than 75%+ of the list above.
And shows like Luck and Firefly and I could go on and on.

Not even dipping my toes in the pool here.
Thanks. Thatās a good list. I was only counting dramas, since in my mental rankings, I put them in separate categories. Iāve seen about half of above. Iāll consider checking out some of the rest.
Iām sure there are many many more. Iām only counting series I am really familiar with. Most of those Iāve seen multiple times through. Iām not really a big tv head, either.
These Succession not that great posts are not that great imo

NMWās list is definitely full of misses (Homeland? Schittās Creek? Lost? ooook). Though admittedly there are more shows in the list that Iād rank above Succession than I thought (downright embarrassing how many times Iāve watched Bojack!). And a few shows I possibly need to check out!
Lost better than succession is a literally hysterical take.
