You don't seem very lighthearded, you seem defensive about being compared to Germans. I'm the lighthearted troll, you're the super serious defensive one try to constantly point out the differences. If you were being lighthearted, you'd be making jokes, not acting like this is a serious debate or something. Just let it go, or start being funny, any other reaction just makes you look foolish.
That's because you're aren't seeing my gentle, disarming and warming smile, Capps.

I like Germans, grew up speaking German, watched nearly all of my favorite childhood cartoons in German and listened to German radio over Danish radio. I don't belong to the generation of Danes (60+) for whom everything German is bad, and you're really, really bad at guessing what people meant by what they write. But I guess you wouldn't be you without being incapable of understanding that everything you personally feel or think about something isn't in fact what "everyone" in the world feels or thinks about something, Mr. The Wire is Objectively the Greatest TV show of all time. :D

Although I'll make the exception with your taste in Rammstein songs. That tune is of course objectively good. (That's me being lightheartedly funny as well ironic, Capps... in case you don't quite get it (and that's me mocking you, again... I'm fickle like that. :P ).

I think Breaking Bad is better than The Wire. I think The Wire is better than The Sopranos. If you want to make an argument that one of those three shows is the best TV drama ever, that is acceptable. Suggesting any other TV drama is better than those three shows, that is just objectively wrong though. Mad Men is great and all, but it's not better than any of those three shows.

I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't agree with my assessment of the top of TV Drama hierarchy, but their taste in television is questionable at best. Most people haven't seen as many of the greatest TV drama's ever made as I have, my opinion is well informed. Go ahead and dismiss my opinion of TV if you want, but the only one you are hurting by doing so is yourself, I know my shit.

I've just started the Steven Moffat Dracula on Netflix.

Not as tight as Sherlock, but it's still better than most stuff on Netflix, definitely worth a watch.

Yeah it's good. Each episode better than the previous one.

Man I loved Sherlock. He did pull some goofy leaps of logic though.

It started well but ended really badly.
The last series was terrible.

i've been watching Cowboy Bebop, never seen it all in order, the show is great

dig this dogfight clip from the movie, crazy good animation

Thank you for this heads-up. One of the best anime's I’ve seen. Netflix is doing a live action remake. I hope they won’t drop the ball. But they will.

James May in Japan on amazon. It’s super funny.

Made me think though - how can I watch some foreign travel shows exploring the US? I want to see some Japanese lady try to figure out a NASCAR race. :)

I just watched the first episode of Picard on Amazon.
Pretty good, I prefer it to Discovery which has recently started on TV here.
