Seems too many TV series I wanna pick up either end abruptly due to cancellation or have bad finales/drop off in quality in later seasons.

Considering:

Sopranos

Mad Men

Dexter

Six Feet Under

Deadwood

Lost

Rome

Which of these do you guys think are actually worth watching in its entirety, and which ones should I stay away from to not waste my time?

Thanks brahs.

Man smh i still want to finish it but the writing is awful now.

Sucks because seasons 1-4 were one of my favorites ever
 
Sopranos, Six Feet Under & Deadwood are essential. Mad Men is really good as well but its kind of hit & miss for some people.

All of this, except I think Mad Men's a great show. LOST is good but a lot of people hated S5/6.. so if you watch a few seasons and want to know how it ends, watch it through.

Six Feet Under's a very underrated show.

If you guys could do it again is that how you would do it? To just watch 4 seasons and stop? Or just never watch it at all?

Sopranos first.

And I'm thinking The Sopranos is the way to go. If people who were invested in the show for years are suggesting it despite a disappointing finale, then I can't feel anywhere near as disappointed with the ending if I'm binging and finish it in 3 weeks

And I really appreciate the responses.

Watch the first 4 seasons and stop.

They're all very good with each one better than the last. Season 4 is the best because of John Lithgow's incredible role.
 
I've watched all those shows except the later seasons of the sopranos and the latest season of mad men.

Deadwood and Rome were good. They're also quick watches because they got cancelled after a few seasons. Skip the last season of lost.
 
Sopranos - YES
Mad Men - YES if you're willing to wait 2 years for it to finish
Dexter- First 4 seasons YES
Six Feet Under - No
Deadwood - YES
Lost- No
Rome - No

You're wrong. Six Feet Under is incredible. The finale alone is one of the best moments in TV history.
 
Whats a good show to watch that isnt the typical CSI, SVU type thing?

No Breaking Bad.

No Entourage which makes me say "FML" after every episode.

Broken foot, I need to be entertained.

I'm on season 4 of sopranos. It's a slow burner. I don't particularily like "the show" but there are characters who I really like. I basically watch the show for those characters.

Dexter will try it's best to pull you in within 15 sec of it starting. I'd reccomend watching that first and stopping after season 4, like others have stated. 

Lost should be at the very bottom of your to-watch list.

SRS

I liked it, but I'd never watch it again(in it's entirety).
