What list of other prestige tv shows would you put on the same level as the following shows?

The Wire.

Boardwalk Empire,The wire,deadwood and the Americans

Nothing is on par with the wire it is on a tier by itself

True Detective S1

Halt and Catch Fire

West Wing, The Newsroom

The Leftovers The Wire Six Feet Under Deadwood Boardwalk Empire The Expanse The Americans Succession

The Americans absolutely belongs on this list!

Star Wars Andor. I know it’s the cliche Listnook answer cus it’s the serious Star Wars show but it’s just a well produced show that also happens to be star wars. IMO it’s one of the few pieces of Star Wars media that fully comprehends the theme of the ip. Season 2 especially feels more like traditional sci fi,than the sci fi fantasy of typical stars wars, with the ripped from the headlines story line with a sci fi flavour (there’s a very good reason Mon Mothmas speech from season 2 gets reposted a lot).

Have'nt seen a lot either but i would say BARRY,True Detective Season 1 and Hannibal

The Americans, Succession, Mr Robot, Six Feet Under, The Wire True Detective season 1 (It's an anthology series so you can just watch that season and it's a complete story. Other seasons don't hit the same mark). The Twilight Zone. Black Mirror. Both anthologies where every episode is an unrelated story, so you can look up lists of the best episodes if you don't want to watch the whole thing. Miniseries - Chernobyl, Band of Brothers, Adolescence Comedies rather than dramas, but fully serialized stories that are just as good as the above dramas - The Good Place, Bojack Horseman Buffy the Vampire Slayer deserves a mention. Firefly too. There are episodes of Star Trek (TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY) that hold their own as some of the best things *ever* to be on TV. Look up the lists of best episodes if you don't want to watch everything. Returning to comedies - The first ~9 seasons of The Simpsons and the first 5 of Futurama as well. They both sort of wane in later seasons but there's a lot of the best episodes of anything ever. The first 3 seasons of Arrested Development (It was cancelled and then revived on Netflix many years later, the revival seasons aren't nearly as good). Still running so there's a possibility the quality might take a nosedive - but I'd say White Lotus, Severance, and Pluribus would make the list if they can keep up the same level of quality until their end.

The Wire Andor Station Eleven Deadwood

Game of Thrones, The Americans, Andor, House of Cards, The Leftovers.

**Complete Series:** * The Wire * Deadwood * Rome * The Americans * Boardwalk Empire * Succession * Severance * The Leftovers * Six Feet Under * Carnivale * Fargo **Specific Seasons:** * S1 of True Detective * S1 of The Terror * S1-4 of Game of Thrones (arguments can probably be made for S5/6) **Miniseries/Limited Series:** * Chernobyl * Band of Brothers * John Adams * Generation Kill * The Pacific * I, Claudius * Wolf Hall * Shogun * Sharp Objects * Mare of Easttown * Mildred Pierce

Wire, Game of Thrones and I would add Lost

Although the show is still ongoing, I think Severance has a chance to become one of the all time great shows.

Succession, Hannibal.

Succession, Bojack Horseman (if you're willing to include animation)

The Shield. Excellent show with an excellent finale that rivals Breaking Bad.

The Wire The Americans Andor Succession Rome

Everyone is saying The Wire and I agree - when I watched it all (on DVD box sets in 2011) I thought it was so brilliant. I tried to watch it again recently and felt very differently about it and thought there were things in there that might put a modern viewer off from the get-go.  So, you might just have to sit through some uncomfortable feelings in the first few episodes in order to get through to the good parts. It’s worth it, but you may have to persevere. 

The Wire Deadwood Cowboy Bebop Fleabag The Pitt

Game Of Thrones

Live Action One Piece Pushing Daisies Stranger Things The Chicago Code Firefly

The three best tv shows ever made are, in order, The Wire, Deadwood, and Boardwalk Empire. Hope you have an HBO Max subscription.

Obviously The Wire, greatest TV drama. Not in the same rank, but you might like Black Sails, something a little different.

Black sails is the goat for me followed by the wire

Twin Peaks - the origin of modern prestige television, but of these three you may find it the hardest to get into. Succession - The best contemporary prestige tv, I don't think there's really any debate. Hacks - 2nd best contemporary character driven prestige drama imo.

the shield

Succession

ER

24

Death note, the office (first half or so), the sinner season 1, true detective season 1, mindhunter. All of those kind of blew me away for different reasons

Antiques Roadshow

The Pitt
