Nah.

The Sopranos, The Wire, Band of Brothers, Chernobyl, Breaking Bad, Dead Wood, Mad Men, Game of Thrones and The Leftovers are all considerably better I would say.

Then again I wouldn't put BCS amongst the mount rushmore (especially after S6) and many on this sub would.

I know and when you read it you see that it is quite important. The issue is Maegor's story is needed for Jaehery's to have weight and Aegon's is needed for Maegor's.

House of the Dragon

Fire and Blood is better and cutting out Aegon I - Jeaherys I story makes me sad.

Attack on Titan - T-KT

Game of Thrones - The Rains of Castamere

Death Note - Near's Theme

The Leftovers - The Departure

Dark - Goodbye

People getting downvoted for answering OP's question. You do realise it's subjective guys.

He even says:

>Which show do you personally think

Anyway, for me Avatar: The Last Airbender.

>appreciate

Isn't this it?

Great show. Shame it got cancelled.

Interesting. For me it was Jinx. Some of her scenes made me cringe lol.

Yep. You end up with Westworld situations.

Yeh I was watching the show recently and cringed many times.

>but they don’t seem very concerned about gender or being politically correct.

Some of them do like Extraodinary Attorney Woo. I think it worked really well in those episodes.

>As I said, that’s more palatable to me than double standards.

Yeh fair enough. Not a fan of Hollywood's weird double standards. It feels like a lot of "strong women" character arch types just takes traits associated with "toxic maculinity" but then is presented as a positive thing lol.

>It is, but not even close. And they make a conscious effort to try to move away from sexism against female characters and are many times written by people who consider themselves feminists.

It's a weird situation of poor writers. Some feel like the only way to elevate a demographic of characters is to put another demographic down.

>In Japanese media they just don’t seem to have a compromise with political correctness for any gender. I can think of a few Japanese sexist tropes that are applied to both genders in most productions. The pervert male being played for laughs, the stalker tsundere or the female characters who physically assaults male characters, which is played for laughs too.

Yeh... although even if it's "fair" I'd rather not have either.

Have you watched Korean shows? What do you think of their stance on this?

Yeh this is true.

Two and a Half Men aged poorly and not just because of Sheen but Alan, dude is a major creep at times.

I recently rewatched My Wife and Kids episodes and some of the scenes were a bit iffy.

Even recent ones like Baby Daddy have probably aged bad.

>media. It’s just sexist about both genders

So are western ones it's just probably more normalised to you so you don't notice it.

>I guess the double standards annoy me more than the sexism itself in recent productions. The way they consciously try to avoid sexism against one gender, but not the other. The way most characters from one gender are upstanding, while the responsible for problems, prejudice and all bad things belong to the other.

Okay... I do see what you mean here and it's a shame you got downvoted for it. That is done more awkwardly overt the last few years.

This is why shows like BCS and ATLA are nice to watch, it treats both its male and female characters with respect.

In terms of popularity and quality it isn't touching Game of Thrones.

That is one of my favourite scenes too and then when he opens the door and looks at Nora. Got me in the feels.

My reaction to that Information.

Number 1 changes often maybe right now I feel that it's: The Leftovers - I Live Here Now

A bit off topic but anyone else find the writing for Ellie to be odd. Not talking about the acting but the writing for some scenes makes her seem sadistic. She was always a little dark in the game but here it has no subtlety.

>I wouldn't have minded him living, but I thought it brought his story full circle. He was introduced as someone who had nothing left to live for, no purpose, and was trying to drink himself to death. And Finch who gave him that.

I am fine with him dying it's the way he did that I have an issue with.

>Truth be told, I found PoI had one of the most satisfying endings I've seen.

It's not an ending that soured the rest of the show for me it just felt kind of flat.

>The Samaritan stuff did kinda drag, yeah. But personally I just disliked how we moved away from the rogue's gallery approach of the earlier seasons.

Same.

>!I felt that John's death was very forced.!<

>!The Samaritan stuff ended up being a bit too much.!<

>with an ending.

I hate the ending but love the show.

>I mean it makes sense to me

I see I guess it's just a difference of opinion. For me, it makes zero sense, hurts the show and sours Aang's character arc.
