Breaking Bad as the #1 show ever is right. The Wire at #6 feels off.
And how isn't 24 on here? When Jack Bauer was saving the world there was nothing better.
What do you think?

Charlie Munger’s formula for success is simple and perfect:
- Spend less than you earn
- Invest prudently
- Avoid toxic people and toxic activities
- Defer gratification
- Never stop learning
How to spot high agency people:
1. Weird teenage hobbies - Teenage years are the hardest time to go against social pressures. If they can go against the crowd as a teenager, they can go against the crowd as an adult.
2. Energy distortion field - If you meet with them when you're tired and defeated, you leave the room ready to run a marathon on a treadmill with max incline. Low agency people do the opposite.
3. Golden question - If you're in a 3rd world prison cell and had to call someone to get you out, who would you call? That's the highest agency person you know.
4. You can never guess their opinions - The boxer that writes poetry. The advertiser obsessed with the history of war. The beauty queen who reads Nietzsche. If their beliefs don't line up with their stereotypes, they've exercised agency.
5. Immigrant mentality - If they've moved from their hometown, that's a good sign. If they've moved from their home country, that's an even greater sign.
It takes agency to spot you're in the wrong place, resourcefulness to operationalise a move and a growth mindset to start from zero in a new location.
6. They send you niche content - Low agency people look at the social engagement of content before deeming its quality. High agency people just look at the content. They spot upcoming trends very early.
7. Mean to your face but nice behind your back - The social incentives are to be nice to people's faces and gossip behind their backs. To do the opposite requires agency because they're swimming against the social tide.
it is a shame that you cannot watch entrepreneurship the way you can watch an artist at work in a single session or two; entrepreneurship is a true marathon of pain, brilliance, and perseverance that can only be seen over a long time without being able to witness the details. even people close to someone only see a small slice of an individual's journey.
