What to watch? Series edition!

[Malderon]

I have been working on a list of all series I have ever watched for a quite a while now and I was using mainly my guild's forums, never mmo-champion, but since I am kinda unlucky with my guilds and they tend to disband or I just dislike them, list have been going wild from one forum to another. Here I think the spot will be more stable. Now about the whole purpose of this, I have 12 100 for a very long time in wow now and many garrisons and also30+ 90+ lvls. Peaple ask me how and it's very simple, every time I play wow I watch series in background, and it makes my leveling experience much more fun. In fact I watched it so much that sometimes being in one location in Wow I remind myself of some scene in some series, a bit crazy huh? . Anyway the next list is made to share all series I watched/liked and to help you find something to watch as well. If I miss any series it's because A) I just forgot about them B) I never liked them, for example Supernatural will never be in my list C) Haven't watched enough episodes to make my own opinion about it.
I'll try to do my personal ratings, which are followingjust for the record I am 24 male)
AAA - Top series must watch/Masterpiece
AA - Very good, missing tiny things to be best
A - Interesting series, but not addictive much
B - Semi-good series which are worth watching when you are in right mood.

Since you have the live action series' covered, I'll throw my advice on anime series. Feel free to add them to the OP if you'd like; I hope this helps!

AAA - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
AAA - Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit
AAA - Fate/Zero
AA - Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works
AA - Death Note
AA - Your Lie in April
AA - Aldnoah.Zero
A - Neon Genesis Evangelion
A - Magi
B - Sword Art Online (Actually not bad, S1 anyways...)

- - - Updated - - -

I think Breaking Bad is my most favorite television series ever; it has deep character development and an interesting journey from anti-hero to anti-villain to outright villain, and some intrigue along with it.

- - - Updated - - -

@OP, have you seen the Battlestar Galactica Reboot? I'd recommend that you watch it, at least the miniseries and season 1. Would probably end up as an AA on your list, A at the least.

[Aliessil]

@Malderon, are they sorted in any kind of order?
[edit] Ironically you've listed two of my favourite shows as B-list (Human Target, and Person of Interest)

@Valyrian - definitely agree with your three AAA titles, they were all excellent! I also really liked Sword Art Online, including season 2. There's several other titles I'd add as worth a watch, but I won't try and rate them!
- Bleach (can't believe you didn't list this! 14? seasons)
- Heaven's Lost Property (2 seasons)
- The Irregular at Magic High School (1 season)
- Lagrange - The Flower of Rin-ne (2 seasons)
- Knights of Sidonia (2 seasons)
- The Seven Deadly Sins (1 season)

[Lightwysh]

Not on your list - Sense8. Would give it AA on your scale

[Aliessil]

I really liked that one too! It's a Netflix series so it might be easily missed for a lot of people - worth looking up.

[Malderon]

@Malderon, are they sorted in any kind of order?
[edit] Ironically you've listed two of my favourite shows as B-list (Human Target, and Person of Interest)

No they are not, List is complete random, I'll change order in future maybe. B doesn't mean series are bad, usually just took some time and right mood to get into them. Dexter is one of such series, though listed as AAA, but I really disliked it first season until I saw a huge spoiler from Season 5 or 4 and then suddendly started liking it so much that rewatched all episodes with great joy!

Not on your list - Sense8. Would give it AA on your scale

Completely agree! Added.

[ItachiZaku]

List defo needs The Wire and Chuck

[Aliessil]

No they are not, List is complete random, I'll change order in future maybe.

Would be worth doing I think - makes it easier for people to see if you've missed any of their favourite shows, and recommend them :-)

Here's a couple of shows that I *think* you've missed, that I enjoyed:

- Blindspot (new)
- The Blacklist
- Warehouse 13

[Diaspar]

Only a "B" for Person of Interest? But that show's awesome! Ok, maybe Caviezel is a bit too dead in that role, but the rest of the folks are lovely. I really like Root so far and the way she communicates. Only at season 3 so far. Anyhow, I'd give that show an A.

[Deleted]

Oh fuck - i just remembered about Stargate: Universe!
That show was fantastic.
It's always the good sci-fi shows that get canceled

[Gallahadd]

Mr robot, then Vikings, then GoT.

[Feredir]

I don't know if the poll makes sense. For instance you pair Vikings and Spartacus, its a huge assumption that the fan of one is the fan of another.

Plus although I never took to Supernatural, it makes little sense to leave it out. Thirdly "you don't like the show" is not a reason to leave something off, because now it comes off as "Hey, show me I like good shows but only if you agree with me"

Or am I just misunderstanding the question?

Reread it and maybe this is what I should be writing: I don't make a distinction between live and animated, and assuming you'd have to binge watch in order to catch up with most of these series, some glaring omissions would be.

AAA-Batman the Animated Series
AAA-Young Justice
AAA-Bosch
AAA-12 Monkeys

Poll is made for fun, basically if you vote for Vikings/Spartacus You vote for a least one of them or both. Reason why I made it because there are too many good series and poll would be too big.

AAA-Batman the Animated Series

Def agree, would be on list but then again avoiding any animated series.

It's a good show, there is no bad show in the list which I wouldn't recommend, it's just some shows get you addictive from first minutes, and some take few seasons to like. It took me long to like it since like you noticed Caviezel is like a robot on that role and couldn't care less about him. But then again, Michael Emerson is really great actor, loved him so much beginning from LOST. But fine, I'll switch it to "A"^^.

There is one thing I do notice from the substantial lists that people have.....

You guys have too much time on your hands, lol

[Deleted]

Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones > everything else

My list is stretching throughout my entire life, so it's actually relatively very little tbh (I don't actually own a TV these days, for example).

[Jotaux]

I was watching the Blue Mountain State movie yesterday and would totally recommend the whole series.
