[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know why True Detective isn't listed, but since the seasons will be totally stand alone I feel I can honestly say the first season is probably some of the best TV ever...

I have spoken with many fans of the Wire who agree...[/quote]

True Detective was amazing but I don't think it's in the same category exactly. It's easy to be amazing for only eight episodes. What's harder is sustaining the amazing over 20ish episodes every year for years on end, as you see from a lot of the discussion here. See Lost as a prime example of something that was great in the beginning but eventually proved unsustainable over time. Others think that about Homeland and I think The Good Wife has totally lost its way. And while I mentioned ER as one of my candidates, there were definitely some stinker years/characters/storylines over its 15 seasons.[/quote]

I don't disagree with you, but it will be interesting to see how multiple stand alone seasons hold up as a whole over time. I don't think you can count it out just yet- also HBO doesn't have 20+ episode seasons- they are typically 10-12 now, same with Netflix. Many people here are listing the Wire and the Sopranos...which only had 13 episodes a season.[/quote]
