Re: OFFICIAL High Stakes Wire + other awesome TV shows thread

Hung is ok so far, seems like many of the storylines will become boring and redundant but I'll give it a chance.

Watched the entire first season of Mad Men the last 2 days...absolutely love it. Its an almost entirely character driven show, so many of The Wire fans should enjoy it.

For fans of The Wire --

The newest book from, Richard Price, co-writer of The Wire and writer of Clockers, is called Lush Life and is really good.

Entourage and The Shield are good.

I assume you've seen shows like Heroes, Lost and Prisonbreak already? If not, also definitely worth watching.

Theres a new show called Two Months, Two Million, coming out next Sunday. I think it will be my new second favorite show, behind the Wire of course.

Re: OFFICIAL High Stakes Wire + other awesome TV shows thread

Breaking Bad kind of annoys me. Most of the character selection that they used in my opinion is pretty bad, and unrealistic. None of them act like any of them are supposed to. The lead is a very good character, and so is his son, but it seems like the DEA agent although funny is miscast, so is the main's partner, and Tuco the lead gangster. None of these characters are convincing imo, and it turns the show more into a comedy then a drama.

Is there a site or other online cache from which to download Wire episodes?

Last season got a B imo.

This season up until this last episode was somewhere around B+/ A-, but the last ep was kinda weak imo. I think all this touchy feely **** is really lame and makes the show lose a lot of its appeal.

Also the storyline with the crazy shape shifter bitch is really boring and not gripping at all.
