Traf Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I've not seen it either. Mind you, I'm still on Season 4 of Sopranos! I also didn't realise that the last Boardwalk episode was the end of season episode.
Moderators Casino Posted January 4, 2012 Author Moderators Posted January 4, 2012 aye, they didn't warn us, did they
Traf Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Knowing my general ignorance with all things TV-related, they might have done. Having watched it, it just didn't seem like an end of season job. Is it very slow-paced or am I expecting too much?
Youri Djorkaeff Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Crackin programme. It will destroy your social life so be prepared

Members bolty58 Posted January 4, 2012 Members Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks to a good few off here (most notably Maggie), possibly the best thing I have ever watched on TV. Need to watch it from episode 1, series 1 though. One of the best things about it is that the best two characters are played by Brits. Rivetting stuff - can't leave it alone once you start.
Maggie Tate Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 The best TV ever. Should get its hooks in straight away. It's a tapestry really, there are plot lines introduced in the first episode of series 1 which won't be resolved until the last of the last series. Every character matters, every scene matters, not a second is wasted. Brilliant, brilliant stuff.

Every character matters, every scene matters, not a second is wasted. Brilliant, brilliant stuff. The lad ain't wrong. I'll be honest, after reading this lot wittering on about how good it was, I bought series one second hand off Amazon for fook all and sixpence. Watched the first episode and struggled to get over lots of Afro American folk using the 'n' word and 'mofo' every 30 seconds. Put me off and I was about to bin it when Maggie and others prompted me to go half an episode further. I did and just could not leave it alone after that. Absolutely brilliant in plot lines; acting - everything. I even love the music from the closing credits!
Whites man Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Don't let the recommendation from Bolty put you off, it's nothing like Alf Garnett I watched the Soparnos from when it first aired but The Wire is a class above, absolutely tip top tv.
Pablo Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I have been shouting about 'The Wire' for years now. Its the best TV ever. Closesly followed by, Soprano's, Breaking Bad, The Shield. I have started Soprano's again, on Series 2 now.

Pablo Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Despicable human beings Oi. You're still watching Postman pat !
Site Supporter barryk32 Posted January 4, 2012 Site Supporter Posted January 4, 2012 I tried to watch the Sopranos. I got about 3 series in before deciding it wasn't all that. There was nothing at the end of an episode that made me want to put the next one on.
Moderators Carlos Posted January 4, 2012 Moderators Posted January 4, 2012 Took me two goes to get into The Wire. Series 2, Nicky Sobotka's wife's tits.
magic legs Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Sopranos had 2 seasons where they were just milking the cash cow. The Wire is a lot tighter than that.
birch-chorley Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 never seen this but fancy it Cheers for the heads up
Garrp Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 just got the mad men boxset watched the first 6 episode of season 1 really like it no idea why though, nothings happened and If you asked me what I liked about it or what has happend I wouldnt have an aswer. Odd
tarian1979 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 never seen it? thats 2 of us starts a new run from the beginning on sky atlantic, friday Nope not seen but want too so thats that sorted then
Traf Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Reet then, the Wire. Iamin, thanks for all your recommendations, particularly to Casino for the heads up.
L/H White Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I need a new series to watch now Boardwalk has finished. So thinking of the Wire, but I've already got Dexter downloaded. Hmmm, tough one.
Peter North Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 You will remember these things... The phrases "Shitbird" "Omar's Coming..." and the legendary Clay Davis' "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttt"! (though he doesn't appear till later in series 3/4) I had to limit myself to three episodes per night when I bough the box-set. It was that good!
Moderators Carlos Posted January 4, 2012 Moderators Posted January 4, 2012 I quite enjoyed Homeland that has just finish S1 in the US, yo. Feel me?
