watchlist
my all-time rankings. s tier means i'd recommend it to anyone, no caveats.
s tier
Band of Brothers
★★★★★IF THERE IS ANY SHOW YOU TAKE AWAY FROM THIS LIST, LET IT BE THIS ONE!!
Pluribus
★★★★★i feel appreciated as a viewer - most shows over-explain what's happening, but this one assumes the audience's intelligence is still intact.
Better Call Saul
★★★★★better than breaking bad in my opinion. a slow burn (which i love) - kim wexler is my favourite character of all time.
Breaking Bad
★★★★★i wish my memory could be wiped so i could re-watch this.
Naruto
★★★★☆i re-watched it recently and didn't realize how mature/creepy it was?? fabulous show other than the awful fan service.
Game of Thrones
★★★★★i skipped a lot of dialogue but the overall arc and storybuilding is exquisite.
The Pitt
★★★★★absolutely adore how they skip out on the drama and relationships between the characters, and just focus on the ER.
House of the Dragon
★★★★★the Targaryens are more compelling than the Starks ever were.
Ozark
★★★★★every character is making the worst possible decision for completely understandable reasons.
Severance
★★★★★I LOVE THIS SHOW.
Vikings
★★★★★was very emotionally invested, SPOILER: i stopped watching after a certain someone dies.
All Her Fault
★★★★★binged in 2 days.
Black Mirror
★★★★★Shut Up and Dance.
The Handmaid's Tale
★★★★☆seasons 1 and 2 only. the constant close-up reaction shots of June in the following seasons ruined it for me.
honourable mentions
Bridgerton
★★★☆☆not s-tier, but a good watch - can be boring.
Criminal Minds
★★★★☆my gulty pleasure but hard to stream in Canada.
planning to watch
The Wire
if i'm not wrong, this is widely regarded as one of the best TV shows of all time.
Dark
supposedly the most intricate plot in TV history.
The Lincoln Lawyer
my dream car growing up was a Lincoln.
