Title: HBO
Post by: Miles Mayhem on Thursday, June 23, 2011, 19:35:05
Do make some amazing programmes. Game of thrones was really good but my favourite has to be The Wire. I think this is the best tv drama series ever written. Jimmy McNulty, Stringer Bell and Bodie are all class. It has taken over my life over the past month!

I recommend Breaking Bad, made by the same channel that done  that Walking Dead series. I think it's better than the Sopranos but not as good as The Wire.

Omar is good if you do love the gays like i heard you do joylove


Nope in reality he is also a great character. Im just about to start series 4. There are some massive developments in 3 with some of the main stars. It can be a little slow around the govenment story but the gang wars are really interesting.
Yeo defo check out Breaking Bad, its pretty brutal but rewarding

Band of Brothers and The Pacific I enjoyed a lot.

Couldn't get into Boardwalk Empire.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is probably my favourite programme ever.
Entourage and True Blood are great also.
Couldn't get into The Wire or The Sopranos though and found The Walking Dead a bit boring to be honest.

I'm starting to get bored with their drama - The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Treme and The Wire all feel a bit too similar and a bit too true to life and documentary like. Felt a bit cheated when I watched the last episodes of Sopranos and Wire, even more so than with Lost. Only just managed to get through the 1st season of Boardwalk and gave up on Treme after one episode. Maybe it's just me.

Though Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the funniest things ever.

Funny how people go on about HBO, US stuff in general, Sky and so on yet seldom the BBC which without a doubt is the greatest broadcaster in the world. Don't think most people realise just how lucky we are to have it.

Six Feet Under! Come on!

Love The Wire, Treme, Band of Brothers, Boardwalk Empire  - Sky Atlantic has nearly been worth the subscription fee alone.

Plenty of great U.S. TV. We only tend to see good stuff... There's A LOT of shite not helped by their trigger-happy attitude towards cancelling shows and churning out pilot after pilot after pilot.

Some networks are beginning to give shows a chance which is good.

Six Feet Under! Come on!

It was OK, I watched a few episodes, but a gay Dexter and seeing him kissing another bloke made me feel a bit sick, so I stopped watching it :)

The first season of Six Feet Under is brilliant. Second season is solid and then for me it goes up and down from then on.

I get HBO on-demand with my TV package. It's not the most recent stuff, but there's plenty I haven't watched.

The wife and I have gotten pretty into The Wire, I'm up to season 3 with that. Think we got through all 12 episodes in less than a week.

I just checked and I've now got The Pacific on there, so I'm going to give that a go until The Wire season 4 is available in July.

HBO does make superb tv, Curb, Sopranos and The Wire to name an obvious few, but recently got into The Lifes and Times of Tim. Animated, but subtly brilliant. Very light too..
