person of interest
this show is by far my favorite show. i don't know how many times i'm watching it now. on this watch i noticed that this show doesn't have a single dead scene or a single toxic character. in most shows there are scenes that add nothing to the overall story that i always want to fast-forward (and even skip outright if i'm watching alone), like unnecessary family or romance scenes thrown in to fill out the runtime (i watched the daredevil born again episodes 15 minutes at a time), or there's a toxic character whose every scene i skip (e.g. the flash -> iris). while watching person of interest it never even crosses my mind to skip a single scene, and there isn't even one main character who makes you hate them (the only one that bugged me was van gogh in the final season, but that one was pretty much a side character).

the best player in the history of world cups. when the world cup comes around, neither messi, nor c. ronaldo, nor fat ronaldo, nor pele, nor maradona can reach this guy's level. the guy switches on goat mode.
