What's the best show to watch before killing myself /tv/ ?

I've seen The Wire and Mad Men and Breaking Bad but I want to see the pinnacle of TV before I bite the dust.

How does that work? Does that mean you'll have to delay it for a few weeks since you'll have hundreds of hours to watch?

already watched it but honestly that's kind of perfect

The Sopranos. Have a friend shoot you from behind after the final scene. You will literally make this existence kino.

What difference does it make what you watch?

>>71495914
Got a good reason?

By that logic, death invalidates everything we do in life.

every other answer is wrong

>>71496027

All the actions that affect other people are not invalidated.

What you watched before you pulled the trigger has zero

THE SOPRANOS OBVIOUSLY

Mad Men's spiritual and thematic forebear
>>
>>71496547

Mad Men is not even in the same ballpark as The Sopranos.
>>
>>71496576
Yeah it is, and exceeds it in many ways. Weiner's complete creative control kept it a tighter story more thoroughly crafted, while as GOAT as the Sopranos is, it meandered at points having so many cooks/writers.
>>
>>71496404
Nigger just get a job as a painter until you can find something that actually applies to your degree. There's lots of decent paying, relatively low skill work out there. And your faggot friends can blow it out their ass, you can always meet new ones.

>Yeah it is, and exceeds it in many ways.

It doesn't exceed in any way shape or form. For all its stylistic posturing it doesn't have a modicum of depth. It's fun to watch but utterly aimless(maybe that was the point). It's almost a drab soulless affair, bitter and cynical to the last moment, almost an affront to the audience who wants a shred of humanity underneath it's cold exterior.

The sopranos isn't flashy, it's not even well directed and some of the plot points are dead ends, but it contains some of the best characters to ever grace television. The same could not be said for Mad Men, even secondary characters in the Sopranos are more interesting than Don Draper or any of the main cast.
>>
>>71496975
I disagree.
>>
>>71496458
I'm re-watching Mr. Robot but I think I'll watch this or The Sopranos
>>
>>71496975
Sounds like you haven't watched Mad Men honestly.
>>
>>71496646
>Yeah it is, and exceeds it in many ways.

OP here, I needed this laugh. Thanks anon. Maybe life is worth living after all.
>>
>>71497098

I watched it all the way until the last half of the last season, i haven't bothered to finish it because frankly i don't care. The show is a massive pleb trap that's hugely overrated. It's all style and very little substance.
>>
>>71497167
>It's all style and very little substance.
This is such a retarded saying. Style is substance.
>>
>>71497351

>Style is substance.

Then what i said makes complete sense.
>>
>>71496404
Not worth it, man. Just get a job, any job, no matter how shit. Maybe move to a different town. A change of scenery is always helpful.
>>
>>71497167
You're lucky. The last season was a piece of shit. I shouldn't be surprised because the entire show was shit but I watched so much of it I though I might as well finish it.

Of course the show isn't actually bad, it's just suck so much dick in the context of "greatest shows of all time" and "Sopranos successor" I really have to question how pleb the people who praise it are.
>>
>>71497351
>style is substance
That's retarded. If you put on a neon green suit would that all of a sudden make you more interesting to talk to?
>>
LOST
>>
>>71496404
That's a shit reason.

You're being a pussy.

If you want to die at least go out on some adventures that might give you a reason to kill yourself. Go to the bad part of town and try to rob a crack dealer or something.

Anyway, The Sopranos is the correct answer.
>>
ROME. Only 22 eps but it's pretty damn good.
>>
>>71495591
I vote Seinfeld.
>>
>>71497561
This op. If you haven't seen it you need to. Fitting ending if you go through with your plan too. Now know you won't have anything close to the experience as watching it live, but the show is still amazing. Been rewatching it and noticing so many missed clues and connections
>>
>>71496975
This is such bullshit. Sopranos is the better show, no question about it, but people put it on a pedestal that it really doesn't deserve. Just because people worship sopranos doesn't mean that there aren't other fantastic shows out there, like Mad Men.

As for the retarded claim that even secondary characters on Sopranos are more interesting than Don fucking Draper, do you seriously believe that characters like Paulie and Silvio have more going on than the entire main cast of Mad Men?

And even if Mad Men failed to reach the heights of the Sopranos' best moments, they also never had an episode nearly as bad as "Christopher".
>>
>>71496404
That's not a good enough reason. Accept your neetdom and apply for welfare if you have to.

I'm 26, going to AA meetings, living with my parents, quit my last job before I could get fired, never had a gf or sex once in my life, I have no experience in anything either, I'm not going to kill myself about it like a little faggot.
>>
>>71499136
I'm not a NEET though. I have a girl who feels heavily for me honestly. I like her alot and one of the few reasons to keep going. I just don't want to work a shitty wage job instead of going into my career and getting on with life
>>
>>71498989
OP here and wanted to say amazing TV is one of the few things that keeps me going. Despite your opinions shows like Mr. Robot and The Wire and Mad Men keep me comforted that maybe I could live these lives and seeing rich storytelling is heartwarming honestly.

This. Seeing how people had their own triumphs, losses, yearnings, loves and hates centuries ago just like we do today-it's cathartic. It's beautiful.
