Top 40 Favorite TV Series (drama)

by kirkendog | created - 11 months ago | updated - 3 weeks ago | Public

I've tried watching other programs that people rave about but it's just not for me, too much propaganda, don't want to pay the cable fees or just couldn't get into (this includes The Wire - pushing a gay narrative, Boardwalk Empire - not available to watch, Mad Men, Westworld & Entourage - too boring for me). There are many others that I never got into in the past as well.

Recent shows not in the top 20 for various reasons:

Shogun - another female propaganda show where they revise history to suit the modern feminist. It's embarrassing what they'll change in history to make them feel better about themselves, we can't write what actually happened because we don't like it.

The Terminal List - was pretty good & was a contender for this list, would have been better had I not read the book first. They butchered the book too much IMO, they had a great script & had to add the PC BS with certain characters, ruined the love interest that Reece was supposed to have to help him get through a tough time, the killing was out of order, way too many flashbacks, turned Reece from a great killer with revenge on his mind (Bourne) & turned him into a semi-weak man with constant double-visions & the whole FB1 parts, that weren't in the book, was the worst part of the series.

Tulsa King - was pretty good, just a little too over the top & not realistic, him & his buddies would have been dispatched quickly in reality.

The Old Man - could have been great until they added the Amy Brenneman character, what a buzzkill she was.

Bosch: Legacy - ruined with the daughter, just have her be killed & get Bosch on a revenge mission for the 10+ people involved like the Terminal List. Now that would be a great show.

Outer Range & Jack Ryan - pretty good shows ruined by PC madness.

Condor - would have been on this list as I liked the show, just way too much PC crap for me & way too many angry females. Angry females are the worst characters to watch & they are in almost every movie or TV series these days (especially teens or younger women), pushing a narrative that women are bad-ass & don't take any crap from those pesky men. Any normal women should look at these characters & be the opposite, as it's a major turn-off to most men. If you act like this in your life you will be single for most of it.

Dopesick - not a bad show but way too much propaganda, it's basically a leftist opinion of the drug issue blaming Republicans (shock). It's funny how they mention the drug company leaders were hired by Govt, just like the vaccine pushers & they are all on the DemocRat side (wanted forced mandates).

Reacher - okay show but could have been way better with the right lead actor & script. Season 2 sucks big time, way worse than season 1. I can't stand the PC they force down our throats in almost every show now, especially the male abilities they give to wimpy women, somehow they can beat up bikers & avoid being hit by bullets all so they can get females into male roles. It's so pathetic! The wooden acting by Reacher & 1 of the females on his squad is some of the worse you'll see - Hallmark has better actors.

Mayans - pretty good the first 3 seasons, not as good as Sons of course, but it was decent. After that it went to crap, bad writing & like other good shows/movies today, they changed a violent show for men & turned it into a soap opera for women. Typically adding the PC cast & overly involving women in a men's gang series, just ruined it (1 episode in season 5 had every scene with women playing the main role of that scene). It's funny on Sons of Anarchy, they were a mixed race gang & they were portrayed as good, but for Mayans they are mostly portrayed as a bad white gang (probably got a call from the turd in office blaming white men for everything).

The Walking Dead - was great until they started killing off the best characters & it's another show that turned into a female soap opera. They would have been in the top 20 had they ended the series a few years ago.

The Walking Dead spinoffs are horrible, female-driven soap operas, so bad it's painful to watch, I had to skip because they force badass females down our throat. Anything to get females into most of the roles, using a few male characters to get men to watch. Any man who likes these shows is either gay or no longer a man. They turned Rick into a metrosexual - pathetic, I hope he got paid well.

1883/1923 - could have been great but ruined by leftist propaganda w/anti-American views of how America was founded. Taylor Sheridan must have watched the PBS documentary The West, which pretty much blamed whites for everything, ignoring all the murders that Indians committed (thousands of white settlers as well as wiping out many Indian tribes). There's nothing more pathetic than a white liberal, they will throw their whole race under the bus to bow down to multicultural diversity.
