I've been rewatching my favorites (Mr. Robot, Andor, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and I'm curious: What is your favorite show of all time? What makes that your favorite?

I'm no particular order:

Dramas:

The Wire (truly incredible TV, maybe the best Shakespeare ever told through Baltimore drug trade)
Succession
Damages (legal drama)
True Detective (wish I could go back and experience watching this for the first time again so bad)
Mad Men
Widow's Bay (apple TV and absolutely hysterical horror)

Comedies:

Arrested Development
Veep
Silicon Valley
Schitt's Creek

Regularly on in the background:
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- Futurama
- 30 Rock
- The Good Place

The Good Place had no business being as good as it was.
