It's not that long ago that there were really NO TV shows at all approaching the level of quality, with acting and production, that's common these days.

Yeah absolutely, I was always a real movie lover but in the last few years the quality of TV has just been so good, it's always TV series I fill my time with these days

What I'm really excited about is the high quality of shows that are starting to come from things like Netflix. House of Cards, OITNB and the new Daredevil series - whether you're a Marvel fan or not, IMO, the tone is perfect and the action scenes are easily on par with any Hollywood action thriller, and that sort of action has traditionally been a weak point on TV.

Opens up huge possibilities going forwards, I can easily see most scripted television going fully online within the next few decades. There's much more freedom and - whilst popularity is obviously still a factor - much less reliance on ratings and sponsors, and no chance of stupid things happening like good shows falling victim to bad time slots on scheduled telly.

Both are amazing shows but season 5 of both was/has been CRAP!!!!!

If I had to choose I would pick TWD

I love both

What are you playing at, questions like this will destroy the matrix.

I'm quite sickened to see that The Walking Filler is winning.

TWD is mindless TV, you can just switch it on and not think. It spells everything out for you, repeats everything over and over, etc. It's good, but not great.

GOT is better in every single aspect.

That's true but sometimes an hour of more mindless TV is just what's needed... so I guess it depends if the question is "which is the better show", or "which do you prefer". GoT is objectively a much better show by anyone's standards, yet I tend to find myself really looking forward to TWD when it's due back.

I mean... despite myself I still absolutely love "Neighbours" and pretty much everything about it is absolute trash . There are loads of shows that I've loved that haven't technically been "good". In any way. Heh.

GoT every damn day.
