After that there is The Sopranos, The X-Files, and Lost. Probably my top five dramas right there. I liked Band of Brothers as a mini-series, but there are plenty of better war movies out there. Not sure the same can be said about The Wire or Breaking Bad.

Personally, Breaking Bad is my favourite, but in the past, I wasn't much of a TV guy. I never watched The Sorpranos or The Wire. I had the DVDs for the 1st season of The Wire and only watched a few episodes. I had trouble getting into it. My wife already saw them all though, and I can't stand watching shows alone.
Lost was a weird one for me. I watched the whole series and was addicted like a lot of people, but critically speaking, I really don't think it was a great show after the 1st couple of seasons. There was so much fluff that it could have easily been condensed. The ending also underwhelmed. It was exactly like what many people predicted it would be after the 1st season in spite of the creators denying that it would be that.
I'm currently at various stages of watching:
Breaking Bad,
Sons of Anarchy,
Walking Dead,
Boardwalk Empire,
Game of Thrones,
Dexter, and
True Blood
I would rank those in that order from favourite to least favourite (but I like them all). Granted, besides Breaking Bad, I am at least a season behind on all the others.
