I’ll say Breaking Bad only because it will be back. Deadwood is done, so there’s no difference watching it now or next year. Breaking Bad is great, and the opening scene is one of the best in any show I’ve scene, so you’ll be hooked right away.

The Wild West, despite being overdone several decades ago, is now ripe for movies and television, and Deadwood was the best example of that…only, of course, if you disqualify Wild Wild West.

I like Evan’s logic as well. Though they recently announced that they won’t be back with new episodes until next July, so you have plenty of time to catch up on it.

Hung is excellent too, as Mookie points out. Plus, there have only been (as of yesterday) 16 half-hour episodes, so you could knock that out in a weekend if you were so inclined.

it is the best thing ever made. especially if you love filthy cowboys cursing in iambic pentameter.

breaking bad is the best show still being made, so i’d put the next. you also have like over a year before we see any new eps so you have some time.

and mad men is great but in my book, a smidge below 2 of the greatest shows ever made. and excellent choice with BSG, thats also one of the greatest shows ever. and caprica isnt that bad (imho).

either way, you cant go wrong with any of those guys.

i’ve actually got a similar question, which to start watching Sons of Anarchy or Justified. I hear SoA is better but i do love Timothy Olyphant as much as a dude possibly can.
