It's one of my personal favorites, but I am still a bit surprised to see House so high on the list.
Imo one notable absence from this list is "The good place", which imo is among the all time greats, managing to stay consistently good from start to finish.
Also I actually haven't seen the other true detective seasons, but heard they aren't even close to as good as the first one. So i assume the rating is heavily carried by it?
The Good Place is so forking good.
True Detective S2 was not good. S3 was ok and S4 was meh.
That description certainly doesn't sound right, when talking about putting it up with the greatest series of all time.
The only good part of season two is Colin Farrell beating up that kid’s dad.
I enjoyed House, but I would never call it a good show. Enjoyable, sure.
I'd call an enjoyable show good, but that is just semantics. However regardless I would call house a good show, even if I acknowledge that I am a bit biased.
It does have it's flaws, which is why I wouldn't put it up for debate as objectively one of the best shows of all time (just subjectively rank it high).
The one case per episode format of course doesn't quite lend itself to high cinema. And it also doesn't have the realism as something like the pitt, to take a recent example. Plus I guess final seasons weren't quite as strong with a weaker team (that admittedly also didnt have the time for us to get to know them as well) and Lisa Edelstein didn't return for the final season due to failed salary negotiations.
But imo the series has a lot of strong points: Hugh Laurie as House did an outstanding job, and imo some of the others such as Robert Sean Leonard as Wilson as well. Despite the episodic format it had some imo good character arcs. And episodes like "House's head"/"Wilson's heart", "three stories", "three stories" or "one day, one room" are outstanding cinema that certainly put it in the "good show" category.
