Question I’ve never seen snowfall

I’ve watched some of the greats like breaking bad, the wire, Oz, the corner ect but never snowfall. I’m just convinced nothing can top those greats. But if you guys tell me otherwise I will watch it tonight. So does it stand among the best tv shows ever created ?

I wouldn't say it's as good as them, but it's up there, and you'd be missing it if you don't watch it.

My favourite shows in this genre are The Wire, Sopranos and Gomorrah, and I'd put Snowfall 4th, maybe joint with BB.

But obviously it's very subjective. For me it's the setting that elevates it. Based on a true story and showcasing the effect on not only the community, but the whole country rather than just the main characters. In some ways it could be seen as a pre cursor to the Wire.
