Anyone who stops after the first 4-5 epis should, if they are being honest. 

Willing to listen if anyone wants to tell me that the show is just building for a while then goes nuts.   :dunno:

Otherwise, its stereotypical old'ish school western stuff. 



It doesn't go nuts, it's a character drama with fantastic characters and the best dialogue ever on TV. It's amazing really.   It gets into the politics and power struggle of a new settlement much more than just a western ever would. Kind of like GoT does more than just generic midevily stuff

anyone who doesn't vote for Peaky Blinders is wrong.

Peaky Blinders is a good show, but not the best on this list.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I voted for Deadwood. Ian McShane is amazing and similar to the Wire you get to know and care about the supporting characters.

Mr. Robot is literally a ripoff of a very popular movie (but still pretty good)
I watched one episode of Peaky Blinders and it was intriguing but just seemed OK
Silicon Valley is one of the funniest shows around but not nearly as good as Veep and season 3 was kind of a dud
I actually look at Justified the same way CNS looked at Deadwood. OK I guess but certainly didn't grab me after 3-4 episodes. Seemed like a typical cop show with a sort of continuous story line.

Silicon Valley is like the main course and veep is the dessert.  Like, it's good and I enjoy it, but it's not why I'm here.

It looks like it's deadwood. I'm kind of disappointed in this, but maybe going into it with low expectations will make me like it more.  :dunno:
