But the "thirteen" scene in S1 is one of the GOATs

I think the most interesting part about it is the killers. I also think the protagonist is gonna change into more of a man. I know a good bit about serial killers, though, and watching how the show portrays them is fun.

did you see it? it's a personal favorite in the way that Sopranos or the X Files are personal favorites: many (not all of course) episodes are self-contained and you get a satisfying story every time. You could say the same for many shows though, right? It's more of a personal thing- I really like the aesthetic of mid-century to 70's era America. That's the real answer. Aesthetic is also why I put Fargo at #2.

It's the story itself that I don't often find satisfying, for the same reason I don't enjoy Bojack Horseman: the main character is an irredeemable shitbag, and virtually every other character is a giant pussy. I realize, ofc, that there have been plenty of great shows in which the above two things have been true; in those, however, they generally tell you something about life (Black Sails, Sopranos), or at least are entertaining (Fargo). I don't get any macro-level takeaway from MM, and the story seems to basically be a better done soap. I feel like I'm missing something.

That's a fair take, no I don't think you're missing anything. I remember being impressed by Mad Men during and immediately after binge watching it. Contrary to a lot of other shows, MM gets better over time (imo).

Thinking about Mad Men now, in comparison to what I've watched since then, yeah, there are other shows that I'd put ahead of it.

It's a show about a sudden unexplained event that makes 2% of the world's population disappear. It's from the co-creator of Lost, Damon Lindelof.

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_leftovers

Season 1 is a little uneven but S2 and S3 are GOAT status IMO and all three seasons are radically different from each other. The show does wrap up rather beautifully in S3, it was not cancelled prematurely, just fyi.

Some of it was a chore, but the payoffs scattered throughout, leading to the last two episodes, more than made up for it. It’s hard to describe what that show does to me - even the tiniest moments hold so much tragedy and beauty at the same time. I wish David Lynch was my dad / bf.

Also lovvvedddd the Jim Belushi plotline
