I really like House of Cards on Netflix. Brilliantly acted and well written.

How isn't Battlestar Galactica a drama? Just because it takes place in space doesn't mean it's not a a drama. And BSG even more so, BSG is to SciFi what Chris Nolan is to Batman's world.

I agree with Yeah_Baby. BSG is definitely a drama, and an exceptional one at that.

Only one vote for X-Files, man you guys suck.

Well just to be different I will place it in the one hole.

1. X-Files
2. The Wire
3. Breaking Bad
4. Lost (no show has a higher peak imo)
5. The Sopranos
6. 24
7. Dexter
8. Oz
9. The Practice
10. Justified

HM The Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, The Original Twilight Zone, Game of Thrones, and Buffy.

I feel like I am missing one, but I can't quite put my finger on it... Although maybe that's just that for once I don't have The Simpsons in the first spot.

Just curious, when do you think Lost's "peak" was?

I thought it was shaping up to be the best show I had ever seen but it went to #### really quickly, to the point where I never even finished it because I knew it would be a waste of time. Too much trying to get the best ratings each episode, and sacrificing the long-term story arcs. Plus they started to bring in recycled TV actors which always sucks

I thought season 1 of Lost was the best season of any show, period.

Big Brother Canada is pretty high in drama, though I stopped watching after Suzette was inexplicably saved from eviction.

I don't watch that many drama shows ... but I like these:

Sons of Anarchy
House of Cards
Vikings
Justified
Mad Men

with SoA being the clear number 1. House of Cards and Vikings are still pretty new, but they got me hooked right from the start.

So I started watching "The Walking Dead" on Netflix and I thought the pilot was rather blah (not really into zombie movies/shows). But then it recommended "Survivors". I watched the first episode on Sunday. Now I'm almost done. Unfortunately it was only 12 episodes before being cancelled.

I also enjoyed Jericho.

I guess if 99% of the population is going to die off, I want it to be from something scientifically plausible (virus, nuclear holocaust).

It was the same thing with "Lost". I loved the concept. Then when they found that there a paranormal monster thingy on the island I was done.
