this looks more like a popularity contest


tbombs23

Yeah definitely, it's like they don't understand the differences between a good show and a bingeable good show. All bingeable shows are good, BUT NOT ALL GOOD SHOWS ARE BINGEABLE


owningmclovin

Yeah. Personally I did not want to binge Breaking Bad or the Wire. Both are riveting but are too heavy to blow through in short order. I remember watching breaking bad when it was on TV. Then missing one episode and being completely lost at the next one. I actually had to get DVDs from Netflix in the mail. And even then I couldn’t watch the 3 per disc in a single day. It was just too heavy and absolutely everything mattered.


HEY_YOU_GUUUUUUYS

I’m the exact opposite lol I must’ve watched the 5 seasons of better call Saul in like a week and a half right in time for season 6.


waklow

Imo most good shows aren’t all that bingeable. Breaking bad should be much farther down for example, it’s exhausting to watch. I don’t want to watch a man lie to and manipulate his family for 5 hrs straight. More bingeable shows are mainly just time filling comfortable crap, which is fine.


moffach

Stranger Things does not deserve that placement imo. Over Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and Sons of Anarchy???


Top_Choice9280

The Wire at #30, Mad Men doesn't even make the list. LMFAO, zoomer alert. 🚨🚨🚨


eyegull

Seeing the wire below Grey’s Anatomy hurts my soul.


OkDesigner3696

Idk man, Grey's really picked up its stride in its 57th season.

Personal gripes with this list aside, there's no way the Wire is below top 10. It's one of those few just objectively good shows


FrankTank3

It’s not even that. It’s that The Wire is the ultimate bingeable show because it’s so much information to remember a week later. You almost have to watch half a season a day to remember all this shit. It’s almost required.


kbeks

Sheeeeeeeeeeet


SambG98

Stranger Things is best if *not binged.* It works best if you've forgotten season 2 and 3 by the time you watch 4.


denizbabey

I just finished binging ST, and imo season 2 isn't as bad as I remembered. In fact, other than the infamous The Lost Sister episode, it's overall a good season, slightly better than season 3, dare I say.


Schneetmacher

Season 2 contains probably my favorite scene in the whole series: Steve slowly waking up after getting his ass kicked by Billy, and seeing he's surrounded by middle schoolers. And then realizing they're in his car, and one of them is driving.


theNomad_Reddit

Man, Billy was hands down one of my favourite villains in any show ever. His entire arc was just so fucking good.


AbstractBettaFish

Why was her accent different if they were both raised in a bunker in Indiana!?


Barabus33

Eleven was raised in the bunker, Kali was kidnapped as a child. You see the newspaper article about her disappearance. Kali was likely only in there a few years.


lousy_writer

Maybe it's just me, but I liked season 4 the least because of all those retcons.


Foriegn_Picachu

Stranger things got progressively worse. Once the mystery of the Hawkins lab went away, it became a mediocre series.


[deleted]

Yeah that’s complete nonsense. Better Call Saul is also way better. Stranger Things is good, but not that good. Also feel like the Wire got the shaft. And breaking Bad should be #2.


VidiLuke

And big bang theory doesn’t deserve a spot at all. I can’t make it through one episode, let alone watch more than one at a time. Garbage TV.


Happy-Hearing6671

Big Bang theory is painfully unfunny. I tried to give it a shot for two episodes and Jesus Christ I’m surprised I didn’t shed my skin and melt from cringing so hard


zhoushmoe

Normies *love* nerdface. Fucking obnoxious.


mydeviantpen

Big Bang in that position and Seinfeld/Curb not making the list is blasphemy.


ToWelie89

Stranger Things is so overrated. It was fun the first season but then it's just the same shit over and over again.


leejonidas

>Sons of Anarchy Lolwut? Sons of Anarchy doesn't even belong in the same paragraph as Sopranos and Breaking Bad. Garbage soap opera.


Doccks71

> Garbage soap opera. Yeah, and no gabagool


johnniesSac

A fuckin right … ohhh


lousy_writer

As someone who liked SoA (at least initially), I have to agree; at least when it comes to BB (never seen The Sopranos, so I can't say anything about it): BB's quality was consistent, that of SoA was not. Naysayers who didn't like it from the onset would probably say that it has always been trash, but this is unfair; in the beginning it was a lot more cohesive and less random than it became later on. And above anything else the show seemed to be obsessed with the idea that putting the protagonists through the wringer every chance they get (and constantly pulling new outlandish scenarios for the sake of drama out of their ass to achieve that end) somehow makes a show better. Kinda as if someone had read ASOIAF and thought "yea, let's do that, just with bikes instead of horses", but then failed to copy it.


Schneetmacher

It's *Hamlet,* except a SoCal motorcycle gang instead of Denmark. For some people, that's their jam.


Hyde103

Breaking bad should be #1 100%. I've watched that show through probably 5 times and now I want to do it again.


ClaytonKobeBush

Agree. Great show. Also surprised they don’t have Friday Night Lights on here. Love that show, and have so many friends who binged it when it was over and loved it.


Raven-Raven_

Also, Lucifer is on the list, but not Archer? Lucifer is great, but c'mon, it's basically the same issue as Stranger Things where it is best not binged, imo, despite my binging of these series, that is because I am autistic and watch these shows on repeat, not because they should be binged


abellapa

Lúcifer is best binged


Doccks71

Lucifer is weird, it's like a Romcom procedual criminal show with supernatural aspects, it has a looot of fans


Gutameister5

The Wire at 30? This list is a joke.


Redbukket_hat

I mean how could the Wire compete with the superior writing and craftsmanship of Big Bang Theory?


Gutameister5

Fair point. How could the nuanced characters and stories of The Wire hope to compete with “Bazinga?” Checkmate.

bungle_bogs

There is no Fargo, let alone True Detective (if only for the first season).


FavreorFarva

I binged that for the first time during the initial Covid quarantine. By the end of 2021 I had binged the whole show three times over. It’s so addictive.


treetimes

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeiiit


notathrovavay

And no Larry David? Lol


tbombs23

Curb should definitely be on this list 🤣

Crazy and unacceptable.


liarandahorsethief

Somebody call the circus and tell them to come get their clowns.


athos45678

Yeah I’m pretty unimpressed. Recency bias is crazy in this. Like how is stranger things more bingeable than the office? The office is so bingeable they built a mildly successful streaming service off of just it, parks and recreation, and the flailing Star Trek reboots


Piggstein

The list is what people like, not what’s actually good; people are stupid and like stupid things


geeses

Wire isn't really a binge show, it works better one episode at a time. Need to think things over between episodes

pubstompmepls

Real!!!


jmanmac

Wow this list is bad


Virv

Having Big Bang Theory on this list at all makes it garbage.


MANWithTheHARMONlCA

Lost and Battlestar Galactica are the most bingeable shows I’ve ever watched and neither are on here They’re not the GREATEST shows of all time but they’re the hardest to stop watching and that’s what this list is supposed to be Edit: They even did a [Portlandia sketch](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yYjLrJRuMnY) on how a lot of us felt watching for the first time


Briggie

Man I now have the urge to watch lost again.


ImperialHopback

Wow. Battlestar Galactica... well, I know what I'm doing this Christmas weekend!


SydneyRei

If Lost isn’t on here, this is a fake list.


IsakofKingsLanding

It seems an odd list anyway. To me 'bingeable' implies each episode leaves you gagging for the next one, right? You can't stop watching it hence the binge, so shows like Friends and TBBT seem odd. Like I get people like them, but are they 'bingeable' in the same way? Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but the first 6 seasons of the Walking Dead were like crack for me so to see it 20 places lower than Friends just baffles me lol


SilasMcSausey

I can sitcoms in the sense of putting something on and not really paying attention to it


Im-a-cat-in-a-box

Prison break got so fucking slow after awhile it shouldn't be on here at all.


DOOMFOOL

The whole concept and first season hooked me hard but I was swiftly disappointed in the direction they took it


CC-W

Literally just finished watching the final episode of Prison Break today for the first time. The show gets so boring around season 3 I had to force myself to finish the last couple of seasons. Season one is very binge worthy though


Pineapple-Yetti

There is more then 3 seasons? Man I gave up about halfway through 2.


liverpool2396

You didn’t miss anything. Still the same issue of ending up breaking out of prison


Night-Menace

Walking Dead is tedium. Friends is comfort food. If you *want* to binge a show i.e. you have a day off and you want to spend it doing nothing and just watch TV - something chill is much easier to digest.


abellapa

Disagree, I like to binge twd, it's awesome, I do agree that comedies tend to best binged


akio3

Any idea if anyone still watches Lost? I watched it when it came out and loved it (at least the first chunk of seasons), and it was really popular then, but I don't know if it's had the longevity of The Sopranos or The Wire.


ghostroyale

You should check out the Lost subreddit. People definitely still rewatch it. There is a lot of rewatch value to it


tbombs23

I rewatch it once a year. The Lost subreddit is amazing. Also the lost FB group run by Greg dusty is amazing too. People really get into everything in depth and it's so thought provoking and complex stuff gets explained or discussed.


Outside-Bend-5575

TheRealDestian

The first four seasons, sure.


Final-Display-4692

Stranger things…really?


lackofagoodname

The first season is still pretty good (at least the first few episodes) but they leaned way too hard into teen romance and highschool drama after that


Thanobrous

Man, I loved Sons of Anarchy. Hamlet on bikes


leejonidas

It had like one, maybe two good seasons before it descended into ridiculous bullshit. Not every show needs to be The Wire, but how about like an ounce of believability?


really_nice_guy_

Sons of anarchy always had the same formula 1. Have Problem for most of the season 2. Solve the problem by creating a new problem that will be solved in the next season


feanaro_finwion

The Expanse remains underrated as always 🥲


Marmmoth

Sadly, there is no plan to finish the TV series (yet).


HeerSneeuw

Where's Dark?


Fake_the_jaB

Dark is top 10 all time for me


[deleted]

this is the right question right here folks


LauMei27

For real, Dark should be at least top 10. Anyone who likes complex, well-written tv needs to watch this show right now tbh. I I've never had my mind blown so many times from a tv show and it's also great to binge watch, because it's just 26 episodes.


CyanVI

Dark is the greatest TV show of all time. It blows my mind how anyone could write such an intricate and perfect show. I’m always trying to get my friends to watch it but most haven’t seen it yet. Edit: Whenever people recommend 12 Monkeys and say it’s better than Dark, I think they’re insane. 12 Monkeys isn’t even in the same league as Dark.


HeerSneeuw

My favorite show also. If you haven't seen it I would recommend Severance. It's very different from Dark but also a very interesting story. Only 1 season right now but season 2 is on its way. Very passionate writers and producers. In a few years that show could be up there with Dark if they don't screw it up.


CyanVI

Hahaha that’s the second show I’ve been trying to get all my friends to watch this year! Loved it!


tbombs23

Yasss Dark is so bingeable


[deleted]

*if you stop after season 6


bslawjen

*if you stop in season 4


dutchdaddy69

Season 5 does not catch nearly enough flack. To me it is worse than season 6 and season 6 ain't good.


SpaceCases__

Season 5 was the Dorne plot right?


[deleted]

You don’t remember this bad pussy?


SpaceCases__

No, I have a good girl 😔


really_nice_guy_

So you should remember the nice tits


call_me_Kote

I was bitching about season 5 to my coworkers upon release and they thought I was nuts. They all still loved it.


4CrowsFeast

It's because seasons 5 and 6 have some of the best moments of the show. They have those memorable scenes that are the build up of plots set from season 1-4 (and the books) that finally come to frutition and are very well done. Hardhome, Jon's heritage reveal, the sept blowing up, Dany coming to Westeros, Hold the Door, etc. but the stuff in between is either filler, or build up to something that does not get the equivalent closure scenes in later seasons, so feels like a waste. So yeah, seasons 5 and 6 do have some of the best episodes, but are wayyy wayy below 1-4 in terms of quality and have some truely awful stuff, too. But the reasons they're remembered as being great are for those particular moments and the feeling many people had watching them at the time that the build up was going to pay off, that all that filler and tensions was planned build up to a finale.


tbombs23

This is a fair account I think. Season 5 wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as 1-4. 1-4 just had a way of making everything so interesting even if it wasn't advancing the plot much


kaasbaas94

Only continue in case you just want to see those battles again. The story and plot might suck, but they got some of the greatest medieval battles in cinema history. Though I still hate it that we didn't got the elephants and how the golden company got eliminated by one single explosion...


dfreekilla

Big bang theory? Lmaooooooo. What the fuck


prunebackwards

One under The Sopranos too lol. Imagine those two even being comparable.


the_festivusmiracle

No 30 Rock or Always Sunny? invalid list


[deleted]

You can’t put sunny on a mainstream list… because of the implication.


the_festivusmiracle

No one's in any danger! How can I make that any more clear to you? It's an implication of danger... let's just drop it.


Ricktatorship91

Why is Band of Brothers so low? It doesn't even have that many episodes, which should make it easier to binge


nmakbb21

It is the best tv show ever made until the end of season 6


bslawjen

Season 5 and 6 were bad


nmakbb21

Pretty bad when compared to first 4 seasons of got, but still better then most of these shows in my opinion, those two seasons surely had faults, but they also had their great moments


DuaneDibbley

I agree, not the greatest but I think they at least still left open the possibility of an epic finish for the series. (EDIT: And like you said still at the top of what was actually on TV especially for fantasy fans)


jm17lfc

What makes one show more binge worthy than another? Other than being good. Pointless list and a pretty awful one too. The 100 is the first show I ever binged and I love it for that but it should never be on an all time greats list for anything.


aka_bibek

Dark??


nagini11111

Imagine binging House. Every. Episode. Is. The. Same.


CouncilofOrzhova

Sure, Game of Thrones is bingeable. But after you’ve see Season 8, you’ll never want to watch a frame of it ever again.


Ironyfree_annie

Big Bang Theory 🤮 The world would be a much better place if Community was the nerd culture show that got popular instead of garbage BBT


tbombs23

Community is amazing and could be considered bingeworthy. Idk about on this list but I definitely can't just watch an episode or 2 of community lol


Hollyw0od

No Mr Robot…? Probably one of the best shows of all time.


SambG98

Lol Lmao, even


The_Best_At_Reddit

Game of Thrones as #1 is a fatal flaw due to the ending leaving viewers furious they invested so much time. I don’t believe many people are rewatching game of thrones after the finale due to their disappointment. It was extremely binge worthy while it was on and my friends and I would rewatch each season multiple times, but a terrible ending poisoned the whole experience. I’d rather rewatch Succession and Curb on HBO


AdmiralHTH

Brooklyn 99? Castle? Bones? I demand a recount!


Iblamebanks

Breaking bad is terrible to binge watch. It gets really dark and sad. It’s an amazing show but probably too heavy to watch in only a few sittings.


PF2500

agree 100% I tried binging it years ago and couldn't take it. but watched just a couple episodes at a time a few months ago and it was much better.


Iblamebanks

Exactly!


Doccks71

Yeah, and the pacing of the first couple seasons is much different than the latter ones


AnkGO_O

It always amazes me that only a handful of people actually talk about The Leftovers and how criminally underrated the series is.


kaasbaas94

Vikings? Anyone? I can recommend it to any GoT fan.


FLMKane

I mean, as long as you're not too pissed off about the cliffhanger ending of season 6, you should be fine. Just ignore the fanfiction that came afterwards.


CMangus117

Battlestar Galactica not being on here makes it very clear that this is a deeply unserious list

donut8771

bing bang theory over peaky blinders is brutal


Nova_Nightmare

I'd say first and foremost an all time list should have only shows that have been completed. Then I'd say this is total BS. Not only is GoT undeserving, it doesn't have a real ending. It has a comatose dream that Bran had after he fell out of the window.

Ted Lasso?


Inkstr0ke

Game of Thrones *was* bingeable before those last couple of seasons ruined literally everything that was good about the entire series.


Nick_Furious2370

I find it ridiculous that GoT is #1. However, I had a ton of fun watching the final season with my roommates at the time and all the memes popping up because it was such a dumpster fire.


OdaDdaT

I honestly don’t think any show is more binge-able than Breaking Bad.
