ok, have a craving for a good tv series... help me choose either: Deadwood The Wire Rome Six Feet Under |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hear deadwood is good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah the box set of rome isn't out until next week, the wire it is then |
||||||||

|
Not on the list: Dexter Very cool and entertaining. Other than that, i'd pick deadwood. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the wire is indeed meant to be one of the best shows ever, but i downloaded the first series and it turned out to be UTTER CORNY SHIT AND I FUCKING HATE EVERY FUCKING MINUTE OF IT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no surprises there then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh come on now jack, this was reccomended by GOOD PEOPLE, people who watched the sopranos and GOT IT.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oz has always been my favourite H.B.O. show; I used to love watching it late-night on Ch4 back in the day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that was pretty good. it was a good programme to fall asleep to. |
||||||||

You like falling asleep to violent male2male buggery, do you? Sheesh! |
||||||||

After Adebisi plot ended, the show did lost a lot in my opinion, one of the best TV characters ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
100% agree--he was fucking fantastic. |
||||||||

Just saw the last episode from season 6 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, great ending, if it was the series ending I wouldn't have minded. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol just finished it literally 5min ago, strange! leon is the best, "larry, whatthefuck....whatthefuck, larry?!" love how he says it, lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've heard of all of them except for The Wire. Can anyone enlighten me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
entourage is an awful awful show. curb your enthusiasm is hilarious. i just saw the series finale and it was great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
entourage is great. Don't be fooled by the shallow exterior. I am thoroughly entertained by that show and not afraid to admit it. |
||||||||
|
|

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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Curb Your Enthusiasm was great.. Too bad season 6 is already finished |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weeds went to shit after season 1 heroes went to shit after season 1 lost went to shit after season 1 is 'curb' going fora 7th season? or is the show fin? i downloaded dexter; heard good things just haven't watched yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dexter is veru good. Sure hope Curb'll have a seventh season! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There will be two more seasons of Curb at least Larry signed for two more, hope Leon's back :D And less Cheryl more win! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Carnivale is amazing! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I used to love American Gothic. Sheriff Buck, Caleb... great show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Youre right, i got them mixed up :/ But yeah, it rocks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I was unaware that it had been planned to extend into a 3rd or even 4th season. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good to know! it looked like the show was to end, but i'm on aboard if larry is there! |
