the wire is meant to be one of the best shows ever. in fact its so good that people talking about how good it is all the time has actually put me off watching it. so it might not be any good, i wouldnt know. but it is meant to be good.

I too have heard that The Wire is one of the best American television shows ever; I've been meaning to download it for some time now.
I also read that Deadwood is superb. And coming to an end.

I'm watching season 3 of the wire, it's a great show. Season 1 has a slow start but it pays off if you stick to it, Season 2 is a departure from the 1st and the 3rd is a return to the 1st.
Oz is ok at least the first seasons.

ROME and Deadwood. Probably the 2 greatest television series ever to get cancelled.
It puzzles me that these shows get shafted yet hat John From Cincinatti crap stays on.

Dexter is on Showtime, not HBO. It is a great show though, as is Weeds.

I think Rome was intended to be more of a mini-series than a running show, but it was damn good.

Zephyr, actually it was always intended to be a full series. The first 2 seasons were made with the possibility they might not get more funding in mind, which is why season 2 ended the way it did. Seasons 3 and 4 were already in the initial stages of production/writing when the BBC decided it didnt want to split the bill with HBO.

I liked Rome too. Sopranos of course. Im sure there will be detractors. Deadwood I could never follow. Seems like the show you say to people to make them think you are smart. I'm sure I'm wrong and its a great show. I just don't have the attention span to get through the choppy diagolgue. So maybe it is for smart people

What like was Rome? Was it glossy? Was it a bit disturbing and grotesque?

The only TV drama I've gotten into was the first season of Heroes. I was worried that the second season would blow monkeys and lets just say many primates have been satisfied.

I watched the first episode and a half of "Heroes", and spent most of the time wondering why on earth this was acclaimed. at all.

If I remember correctly, Heroes season 1 really started hitting its stride around episode 4 or so. Someone let me borrow the box set and I couldn't put it down because every episode ends with some cliff hanger or revelation about a character.

Carnivà le is probably my favourite and I love Deadwood too; 'tis brilliant. Oz, Six Feet Under, Extras and Curb Your Euthanasia are also excellent. Entourage, Sopranos, Rome and Big Love are pretty good too. I have yet to watch The Wire and newer shows like John From Cincinnati and Tell Me You Love Me, but I shall download them in teh phuture.

if you like Carnivale you'll probably also like "The Stand" (stephen king) 4 part miniseries, it has many similarities. I also liked "American Gothic" but it's a long time ago since I had seen that

Speaking of Stephen King, have they determined yet if The Dark Tower is going to be a collection of feature films or some type of HBO mini series? I know they are making the thing, but I don't know in what format.
