They’ve seen True Detective S1
Darrach
2025-01-03 13:11:04 +0000 UTCTrue detective season 1, and Fargo all seasons.
John
2025-01-01 22:34:25 +0000 UTCCame here to say MAD MEN and I’m pleasantly surprised to find everyone here already!
Julien
2025-01-01 18:35:09 +0000 UTCYou haven’t seen the pinnacle of television until you watch mad men.
Df
2025-01-01 05:29:58 +0000 UTCjust thought of a good one.. Mare of Easttown.. mini series on HBO
Zach D
2025-01-01 04:16:05 +0000 UTCI'm so up for Mad Men, probably my favorite show... but i will throw out this curve ball: Hell on Wheels.
Robert
2024-12-31 23:19:59 +0000 UTCSomewhere out there is a guy that chuckles to himself every time he watches that scene, wishing he could tell the world: "I made him say that." But deep down he knows that nobody will believe his story.
Marcus Cato
2024-12-31 19:02:29 +0000 UTCSometimes we just overanalyze things to the point where we Mandela effect ourselves.

2024-12-31 18:59:19 +0000 UTCAnd listen to Led Zeppelin
Clay F
2024-12-31 15:09:23 +0000 UTCAgreed it’s definitely one of the best limited series out there. Always gives me a craving to drink though lol
Alberto Cruz
2024-12-31 15:08:04 +0000 UTC3 seasons and a movie that wraps it up
Alberto Cruz
2024-12-31 15:05:44 +0000 UTCCheck out true detective season 1..only 8 episodes and its up there with sopranos
3ternaL
2024-12-31 04:17:18 +0000 UTCThe earlier seasons were good, but i think it went off the rails in the last couple seasons
The Josh
2024-12-31 03:54:20 +0000 UTCWas just about to comment this. snowfall is one of the best shows I’ve watched in a long while
Brodie Chapman
2024-12-30 19:32:52 +0000 UTCLola already watched Dark
Layrone Williams
2024-12-30 18:44:16 +0000 UTCWould love a Mad Men reaction. Also would love Boardwalk Empire. Both great shows you would love.
UNC
2024-12-30 17:26:26 +0000 UTCI don’t know if this will be seen, but a really good show that I recommend watching is Snowfall. It’s set in California in the 80s during the crack cocaine era
Celina Copeland
2024-12-30 15:49:52 +0000 UTCDEADWOOD
Louis Ferdinand Celine
2024-12-30 13:57:37 +0000 UTCMad Men is the obvious choice people are suggesting, but I think a really good one for them would be "Dark" on Netflix. It's a complex time-travel drama from Germany. Only ~30 episodes total so not a long running one. They are very analytical and I think they would love it.
Abacus
2024-12-30 12:55:14 +0000 UTCThere's a lot of great show left to watch. The shield, a classic drama often forgotten. Rome, deadwood, boardwalk empire, the leftovers ( from the creator of lost), mad men
J. Mýrk
2024-12-30 12:44:14 +0000 UTC3 seasons actually, but yes, definitely cut too short
James Oleinik
2024-12-30 11:20:19 +0000 UTCI think Chris said it didn't matter because Tony wanted the guy dead in any case.
Clay F
2024-12-30 11:09:49 +0000 UTC+1 for "Halt and Catch Fire" and especially "Boardwalk Empire"
Clay F
2024-12-30 11:07:53 +0000 UTCI'm just gonna echo everyone else and recommend Mad Men if you want one of the "classic" shows with immaculate character work like The Sopranos. It's also created by a Sopranos writer (Matthew Weiner, though he only started writing for the show during season 5).
IanJ
2024-12-30 10:24:43 +0000 UTCPlease don't put spoilers for what's coming up. How hard is this? Just let them watch it. (Edit: he removed the spoilery bit)
Abacus
2024-12-30 09:16:42 +0000 UTCMad Men is the last major classic you guys haven't watched. By far your best option. Others have mentioned Deadwood which is very good but only 2 seasons.
Edward Lewis
2024-12-30 07:55:47 +0000 UTCDon’t know if someone already said this (there are many comments here lol) but episodes like this are somewhat reminiscent of Walt and Jesse’s relationship based on how often Chris is manipulated
Knot
2024-12-30 06:18:56 +0000 UTCthe opening credits are always the same lol
Zach D
2024-12-30 04:51:00 +0000 UTCTHE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK boardwalk empire, dexter, The Offer (about the making of The Godfather) True Detective, Seinfeld. Yellowstone is decent for a few seasons, Queen’s Gambit, idk if you’d enjoy it but maybe some people would enjoy your reaction to Entourage 😂(doesn’t age very well) Ted Lasso, Chernobyl, Sons of Anarchy
Zach D
2024-12-30 04:50:00 +0000 UTCJanice and Ralph together when they killed Rosalie’s son and brother in law The Squirrel at the beginning of the episode that Tony is disappointed to see is Christopher, Tony wanted a duck (his kid) but he “has been dealt” Chris
space colon
2024-12-30 04:49:37 +0000 UTCthey've mentioned before that they've seen it in their own free time
ODIS
2024-12-30 04:23:29 +0000 UTCI don't know of a television series more perfect and suitable for your personalities than The Leftovers. Take a look, please. No show transmits such powerful emotions.
Saúl López
2024-12-30 03:57:44 +0000 UTCOne thing I'll add is that Chris has always wanted to be in the mob, and there are times where he feels its not the old school way, those old traditions about whacking guys and retribution and the hard old school rules... and he is constantly disenchanted with the realities of it in the modern state of things. Having to hustle and scrounge to make the kick ups and being treated like crap from Tony who he has wavered in his respect for him. Here Finally, Tony is giving him that old school mob honor moment where its payback for this guy who killed his father, and now it's giving Chris that feeling of really truly being part of the mob- this thing he gave his life to. They are giving him something personal and meaningful.
Robert
2024-12-30 03:02:01 +0000 UTCLooks like Mad Men is gonna be the clear front runner, but Six Feet Under and Deadwood definitely need to stay in the conversation. Classic shows from the golden age of HBO, which don't get enough love these days.
The Josh
2024-12-30 00:36:18 +0000 UTCyes, to echo everyone, Mad Men definitely reaches similar heights to Sopranos, Wire, Breaking Bad, BCS, etc. Plus I remember absolutely loving how every scene was dripping with subtext on classism and sexism
Mahni Alizadeh
2024-12-29 23:49:59 +0000 UTCDeadwood for sure. Such an underrated show. Fargo is another excellent choice if neither of them have seen it already
snaps
2024-12-29 23:28:02 +0000 UTCEveryone is already saying it, but Mad men is definitely what should be next.
Cole
2024-12-29 23:15:01 +0000 UTCA lot of people have suggested "Mad Men", and I'll throw my support there in an instant. That would be the perfect follow-up show.
JBK405
2024-12-29 23:02:52 +0000 UTCThankfully they've both seen Lost so we don't have to relive the second-worst writing debacle in TV history (GoT takes the #1 spot)
Michael M
2024-12-29 23:02:03 +0000 UTCHaydu actually doesn't say "I'm sorry" in that scene, it's the show on TV which we hear. It plays over the whole scene. The characters on the TV are talking right at that moment, and you can hear them still going as Chris and Haydu keep talking. It's very hard to tell without analyzing the audio, so most people assume it's Haydu.
JBK405
2024-12-29 22:59:56 +0000 UTCWatch HBO’s Deadwood next, it’s a classic
James Oleinik
2024-12-29 22:44:49 +0000 UTCThe "a don doesn't wear shorts" line is actual feedback the show got from someone in the Mafia
Alexander
2024-12-29 22:42:55 +0000 UTC+1 for "Sharp Objects" (2018) (8 episodes) (w/Amy Adams)
Clay F
2024-12-29 22:38:02 +0000 UTCA big +1 for Dexter
Clay F
2024-12-29 22:37:33 +0000 UTC+1 for Boardwalk Empire. Has Michael K. Williams (Omar of The Wire)
Clay F
2024-12-29 22:37:04 +0000 UTCI second Barry. 10/10 show.
Richard H
2024-12-29 22:37:04 +0000 UTCDon Draper the main character is such an interesting protagonist. Plus, focus on female characters.
Clay F
2024-12-29 22:33:24 +0000 UTCDeadwood would be amazing.
snaps
2024-12-29 22:31:21 +0000 UTCHaven't heard that name in a looong time. It goes in the short series slot, but they're pretty backed up right now. I think they'd like the show
Isaac
2024-12-29 21:41:24 +0000 UTCGirls, watch Barry. It's also on HBO and you will not regret it
Anton Moskovskyy
2024-12-29 21:41:09 +0000 UTC+1 for Deadwood. One of the greatest TV shows of all time
HeyJohnnyItsMe
2024-12-29 21:26:22 +0000 UTCThe Sopranos, The Wire and Mad Men are the big three of classic prestige TV. You've only seen two of them, so you definitely have something else to look forward to.
Rynsen
2024-12-29 21:20:36 +0000 UTCIf they haven't watched them: X-Files and Person of Interest are my suggestions.
James Long
2024-12-29 21:17:44 +0000 UTC'Lost' is the way to go after this.
JorgeRDSM
2024-12-29 21:07:48 +0000 UTCIf you really think that about 'Lost', maybe you need to watch it again.
JorgeRDSM
2024-12-29 21:05:30 +0000 UTCI loved LOST when it was first on, pity it went shit and nonsensical. Seeing how inquisitive Lola & Milena are when watching Sopranos — always analysing things intently and saying "where is this story going to go?" and paying attention to little hints of things to come — it would be absolutely hilarious seeing them try to make sense of an incomprehensible mystery which the writers are just making up as they go along and never gets explained.
Abacus
2024-12-29 20:57:37 +0000 UTCAfter this watch Barry!!! You will love it.
Andrew M
2024-12-29 20:50:15 +0000 UTCA couple of recommendations you could put on the poll: Twin Peaks( I think Lola have seen this show), Fargo, Oz and Deadwood. I know there has been a push for Mad men but I’ve never seen that show so idk.. I’m open to watch it with you girls if that show wins.
Jack SV
2024-12-29 20:50:03 +0000 UTCYup that definitely cause the shift in the opening. There was also actually a slightly longer break between this season and the previous season compared to the breaks between the first three seasons.
Veya
2024-12-29 20:35:08 +0000 UTCLOST is an absolute classic!
Selva
2024-12-29 20:29:11 +0000 UTCBoth The Sopranos and The Godfather opens with an explicit line about America in the opening scenes before it recedes back into the background and subtext. Tony in the first episode talks about how the best is over and the dread he feels but can't articulate what exactly it is. There was always a lighter touch of broader America in the first three seasons but starting this season they ramped up the feeling of malaise to more consistent dread and mortal inevitability. The tone shift is pretty apparent here but there were subtle indications like autumnal or early winter undertones set in various scenes in prior seasons reflecting these ideas.
Veya
2024-12-29 20:25:08 +0000 UTCWould recommend "Justified", "The Shield" and "Oz" if you have not watched already. Hope some of these can make the poll! .. oh and also "Halt and Catch Fire" and "Boardwalk Empire"
Quasirng
2024-12-29 20:24:27 +0000 UTCWhat a season we have ahead of us 😂also Lola picked up on Tony’s manipulation of Christopher immediately in the car scene. Not many reactors catch that first time. Kudos 👏
Johnny Bxb
2024-12-29 20:06:10 +0000 UTCMad Men, Deadwood, The Shield, Boardwalk Empire, the classics are far from over. Nothing comes close to The Sopranos in my opinion but there are a lot of briliant shows out there
Αντρέας Λίτσας
2024-12-29 19:51:51 +0000 UTCMad Men is absolutely on the same level as all of the shows mentioned AND it's similar to Sopranos in structure and type of character building, owing to yeah, being created by a Sopranos writer. So it's gonna depend on how much they actually like The Sopranos at the end. It's another seven season show.
Veya
2024-12-29 19:49:52 +0000 UTCThe actor Lola is talking about is Will Arnett, he's been in a lot of stuff. I know him mostly from Arrested Development. Also, does anyone know if they've seen Dexter? That's another classic show.
BNJ
2024-12-29 19:46:22 +0000 UTCXYZ is pretty fucking awesome though, not gonna lie.
BNJ
2024-12-29 19:45:23 +0000 UTCPlease add For All Mankind to the next poll. At least have it on the radar. It is sooo good.
Damien Fenton
2024-12-29 19:42:31 +0000 UTCMad Men would also be a perfect transition after sopranos because it is by David Chase's protege
Mitchell
2024-12-29 19:35:29 +0000 UTCThe early release messes up my whole sense of time: “LM Reactions uploaded a new video 2 hours ago. I should really go to sleep now." Time now: 8:30pm. :D
Robert H.
2024-12-29 19:35:02 +0000 UTCMad Men!
Mitchell
2024-12-29 19:34:28 +0000 UTCThis is the one. Such an underrated show
The Josh
2024-12-29 19:30:31 +0000 UTCI vote for a sharp objects reaction
flawlessmisery
2024-12-29 19:23:35 +0000 UTCQuasimodo and his predictions 😂
BNJ
2024-12-29 19:06:09 +0000 UTCbig big agree. Mad Men is a must too, but I'm pretty sure Six Feet Under would be their absolute favorite.
Solomon Wong
2024-12-29 19:01:08 +0000 UTCOh yeah… I’d forgotten about mad men. Definitely a classic. And created by one of the writers in SOPRANOS.
Víctor Malheiros
2024-12-29 19:00:20 +0000 UTCTHE DISRESPECT. Mad Men is one of those classics!
Isaac
2024-12-29 18:53:05 +0000 UTC@Isaac unfortunately it regularly gets passed up on polls. The show is long overdue for a renaissance in interest like other old shows have had in recent years. It mainly relies on its core fanbase that is very passionate which I am part of. I've watched Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Succession etc. and still to this day Mad Men is my absolute favourite!
bondbond53
2024-12-29 18:52:37 +0000 UTCA big +1 for Mad Men. MAD MEN (2007) (7 seasons). RT 94%. IMDb 8.7 --Best TV Shows all time = Rolling Stone #7, Hollywood Reporter #1 --56 Emmy nominations, won 16 including for Outstanding Drama Series --Golden Globe 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 winner Best TV Series - Drama
Clay F
2024-12-29 18:49:35 +0000 UTCLola has seen Succession
Isaac
2024-12-29 18:48:51 +0000 UTCI expect it to be a frontrunner, don't you worry
Isaac
2024-12-29 18:48:33 +0000 UTCBtw, with the exception of the shot of the twin towers which was replaced with generic buildings, the intro is literally identical to before, same audio and video (obv different cast names). It's not zoomed in, or different speed. The song hasn't been re-recorded. The whole intro is always exactly the same, you are imagining things because you're paying attention too much.
Abacus
2024-12-29 18:35:12 +0000 UTCAs the new season begins, please can commenters try to resist hyping up any particular episodes or events coming up? Last season's comments were stacked with "omg you're gonna love XYZ, I can't wait until you see this classic episode" etc... Guys just chill and let them watch it themselves.
Abacus
2024-12-29 18:32:59 +0000 UTCFirst season after 9/11 so the twin towers are not in the intro anymore!
bondbond53
2024-12-29 18:26:53 +0000 UTCPLEASE watch Mad Med after The Sopranos! It is a classic!!!! It was competing at the Emmys with Breaking Bad every year. I would say it's the clearest inspiration to Succession which Lola loves so much and Don Draper the main character is one of the clearest successors to Tony Soprano in regards to an antihero protagonist
bondbond53
2024-12-29 18:24:45 +0000 UTCYou can Watch, Succession or House of Cards next.
Diego Castillo
2024-12-29 18:06:18 +0000 UTC44:10 Yes Paulie is in jail because the actor had back surgery. How in God's name are you two so perceptive that you even get that. You two are like building video game characters where you allocate all 100 skill points to perception. I believe when you are watching these shows it actually just looks like The Matix code to you. Lol.
Michael M
2024-12-29 17:56:10 +0000 UTCIt's so crazy to me that Chris doesn't take issue with the idea that his father's killer got to stick around for decades because "he was useful." I feel like Chris knows from the start that it's a lie, but he's too tied to the life to do anything but act as if it's true.
Solomon Wong
2024-12-29 17:55:44 +0000 UTCwhy do you do that? you took all the air right out of my punchline
snaps
2024-12-29 17:43:16 +0000 UTCWhen Haydu crawls away from Christopher he repeatedly shouts "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" before Christopher shoots him. I don't know what that means. BTW, the song in the beginning - One of the best uses of a song in a show, ever. Also just FYI - 'Paulie' is in prison because the actor underwent back surgery at the time and couldn't do much so they wrote his character in jail for that time.
Karan Verma
2024-12-29 17:30:59 +0000 UTCjames gandolfini(tony soprano) was called in the middle of the night by a stranger and said "you're doing good until now but a don doesn't wear shorts" they used that line on the show
Darlan Felix
2024-12-29 17:21:02 +0000 UTCThe difference you (astutely) notice in the intro is because they removed the World Trade Center towers after 9/11.
Derek Suboticki
2024-12-29 17:14:34 +0000 UTCChristopher my top favorite characters
ashton
2024-12-29 17:14:06 +0000 UTCWatch Six Feet Under. That's a classic. And absolutely a gem of a show. Also, considered to be in the same league as Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, The Wire etc., just extremely underrated. But I am sure you two would love it. It's impossible not to.
ajs
2024-12-29 17:13:23 +0000 UTCThere's no stigmata in posting this early you should do it more often :)
Michael M
2024-12-29 17:05:41 +0000 UTCWow it's not even 6pm
sakurabraus
2024-12-29 16:53:14 +0000 UTCI refreshed my memory about the storylines in this season. I think LM are going to love it.
Damien Fenton
2024-12-29 16:47:28 +0000 UTCAfter this you gotta watch Twin Peaks, it’s the first classic that started all of this
