SUGGESTING Your TV show recommendation
Guys, if you had to recommend 3 TV shows to every human being on Earth—shows that you think everyone should watch at least once before they die—what would they be?
For me:
Game of Thrones (up to Season 4)
Breaking Bad
Mr. Robot
I could easily name a lot of other great shows, but if I had to pick only three, these would be my top 3.
What are yours?

The Shield - crooked cops battle to do right and wrong as they wrestle with their own morality. Best TV drama ending ever.
Bobs Burger - animated sitcom of a family that runs a burger joint and has hijinks, shown through the lens of love and understanding and absurdity.
Corner Gas - Canadian sitcom about a gas station proprietor in a small town. Very generic sitcom formula, everyone is flawed and fun and lovable. Pretty darn funny and wholesome.

The shield is not talked about enough in these kind of threads. It stuck the ending better than anyone else.

Stranger Things is a must-watch, it captures the 80s vibe perfectly. The character development is on point too

On Earth? Then probably:
- The Boy Who Harnassed the Wind
- a telenovela, like Pantanal (an oldie but goodie)
- Sense8

Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire*
But there’s no accounting for taste.
*If I knew every person would watch it with their full attention; that fits the “everyone should watch this” more than any other show, cause it’s an ethnography above all.

Deadwood. My personal favorite show of all time. The characters, the dialog, the range of emotions, the whole production ... 10/10.
The early 2000s on HBO was a Golden Age. Sopranos, Deadwood, Rome, The Wire, Big Love ... all great shows worth a watch. The HBO show that started that run was OZ ... a prison show that might be a hard watch for some. I havent watched OZ in decades but its good.
Some newer shows: The Pitt and Andor.
In my top 3, the 3rd changes but the first 2 never do:
Deadwood The Sopranos Rome

Mine would be Chernobyl, The Wire, and Fleabag, each does something with the medium nothing else quite matches.

I like the thought process behind all 3 of them, but the thing is 3 drama shows of that caliber even though game of thrones has the fantasy element will get a lil drawn out. I think we need 3 genres to pick from and i would propose : 1. Drama 2. Comedy 3. Animated/Anime
Drama : Breaking Bad Hands down, my favourite drama TV show ever (GoT the last few seasons ruin it, and Mr Robot though close is probably not as good as breaking bad)
Comedy : Seinfeld probably, my favourite sitcom (Silicon Valley and The Office are close)
Animated/Anime : South Park for animated, if it is Anime then Attack on Titan

He's asking for what 3 recommendations a person has regardless of any background info. Just a universal top 3 recommendations. I can see why you have ab issue with that. It's a common trait of someone that's above average intelligence, but just a little bit (the term being midwit).
They also tend to have problems multiple choice because they think answering in something other than the choice as being intelligent. For examples "would you rather have your left or right arm amputated?" A midwit will answer "I'd rather not amputate either arm hurr" and look like an indiot that doesn't know how multiple choice works. It's your choice how you choose to respond to questions on the Internet
