It's a broadcast show so nothing graphic.

Does Big Bang Theory count since it is super popular but isn't funny?

The Wire affected me the most. Lost was the most entertaining. Breaking Bad

S2 is great. It took s1 and improved in every way.

I still don't understand what the opening scene of The Leftovers was about with that cavewoman.

Breaking Bad needs an asterisk because the bull of watchers binge watched it.

shimmy
