Whether you want to reduce it to HBO or not is completely irrelevant. You can't just cut shows out of the discussion just because they're all from the same channel.
Netflix is revolutionary but it can hardly compare with that time - especially not now that Amazon came along and has made a better show than it ever created so far.
I can live with a new golden age but not THE golden age.

From just 2013 alone, there's alot of good shows worth seeing that are better than anything from the early-late 00s imo (esp. early 00s).
It's the golden age for dramas imo. It's not about reducing it to HBO. I just mean there are great shows on subscription networks, streaming services, and on primetime/cable as well now. I don't hate 00s TV. It's just that it was dominated by the same 8-10 year+ long-running series and most of them got bad as seasons went on. Now it just seems like the pickings arent as slim when it comes to shows to watch.
