YAY! Great choice guys.

Dean Cyphers

SOA would have been fun to rewatch with Jimmy but you wont be disappointed with POI. they'e just two completely different shows from top to bottom

Dean Cyphers

Lucky for you you're getting more so everybody wins :)

i don't care about any of these tbh, I just want more bsg.

Wow, surprising leapfrog in the final hours of the poll! I voted for SoA as I've seen it and would be interested in Jimmy's reactions to it but just have to take the L on that one. Think I'm gonna tag along with Person of Interest though and see what it's all about. Michael Emerson was top class in Lost so intrigued to see him in another role.

Dean Cyphers

Ayyy pleasant surprise to see POI pushed ahead to win! I'm not gonna hype it up, just want to say you'll enjoy it Jimmy. It's right up your alley :)

Jana

Come on people, SoA!

David

That's another good one.

Mike

Haunting of Hill House?

AB23

Sons of Anarchy!

Sky Alderson

Mr Robot !

Cabba

As long as it isn't SAO. :)

SoA FTW ;)

Jimmy Macram

Seen it

Cabba

Boardwalk Empire!

Looks like it will be between SoA and PoI. One show started out great, but soon(-ish) turned into a complete mediocrity (SoA). The other show started slower and seemed like a standard procedural, but soon turned into something much more and had most of it's best episodes at the second half of the series (PoI). And PoI has Michael Emerson - I think the choice here is an obvious one.

It's not any more of a "crime of the week" type show than Fringe is. In fact, both shows have very similar evolution. Both started as "crime of the week", but very soon transformed into so much more.

PERSON OF INTEREST!

fargo and deadwood wont win. even thought i like them better. Please vote for PoI over SoA. it overall is so much better.

Oh, man, I have to second 12 monkeys. What a surprisingly good show. Also, I'd like to throw some love towards Spartacus as an eventual series.

Great Sage Sun

Throwing weight behind Deadwood. It's short, and fantastic. I'd really like to see 12 Monkeys some time as well - an underappreciated gem!

David

Voted Deadwood because of how short it is. PoI will be back on the table eventually, but once Jimmy starts that, it will be quite awhile before we get any other shows.

Person of Interest is great, though a bit of a slow burn at the start. Would be cool to re-watch alongside Jimmy. However I think Banshee or Justified would probably be more fitting choices if they were on the list.

Person of Interest is good but it's a "crime of the week" type show which is in my opinion not a good show for reactions. Sure there is an overarching story aswell, but the sheer amount of "filler" episodes is just boring. I'm going to vote Sons of Anarchy because I know you like gang shows and it would better suit a reaction series. Deadwood is godlike aswell though, so this was a tough choice.

Person of interest - without a doubt. I think it already came close second back when Fringe won the poll - it deserves a shot. Fantastic show that got better as it went along - same thing can't really be said about SoA, which started great, but finished as mediocre as possible.

I never liked Fargo, so I can immediately scratch it off. Deadwood is a David Milch show, and I am a David Milch fan; but objectively, I think Deadwood is overrated. I think people confuse how good the show actually is with how fucking incredible Ian McShane and Robin Weigart are. Perhaps if it had gotten better than the usual HBO/Milch treatment... POI feels procedural even once it starts venturing into less procedural waters. I had a harder time with the earlier seasons, but I will say that I once I was done, I had enjoyed the run. I like it better than SOA, which is a long ride to a destination that will feel obvious long before you get there. So for once I will throw in with the POI folks. It's a complete show that doesn't languish its way to an ending or get chopped down early.

son has 2 good seasons but goes into trash tier territory

Thomas Hansen

I guess I might as well switch my vote from Fargo to Deadwood, since the other two shows are of no interest to me. But it does seem silly to me to not finish the show you're already watching when it's just a ten episode long season.
