so did anyone see the premier of luck? reviews?

Saw Luck,

I liked it. But for some reason I haven't really thought much of it sense then, not looking forward to next episode and all around just dont care. So the pilot didn't really THAT much grab my attention. But hey, the first 1-3 episodes of Wire didn't either and that is one of the greatest shows ever made.

I reccomend people check out House of Lies, I'm really liking this show so far. One of the good "new" shows that are out there.

I also checked out Alcatraz. The show could be better, it's such a "formula" show if you know what I mean, always 1 new inmate per episode and the main plot always the same.

Regarding what shows to watch next. If you decide to watch Homeland over Game of Thrones you should be locked away and the key thrown away. Game of Thrones is the nuts.

I enjoyed the first 3.9 seasons of Dexter, but Season 5 is boring the hell out of me. Does it pick up again or should I just bail?

BAIL...at least until the final season, I'm sure that'll be worth watching.

Thought I'd add this to the thread with all of you Wire fans.

George Pelecanos, writer/producer for The Wire and Treme, did an AMA yesterday on Reddit:

Hasn't anyone mentioned Sherlock? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1475582/).
Very good show, much better than the recent Sherlock Holmes movies, worth watching it.Season one was good especially the first episode, but season two was even better.

Bramsterdam · 03-07-2012, 02:09 PM

Thoughts on House of Lies? Luck? And is Southland any good?

idk if this has already been suggested or has gone through 2p2 a long time ago, but anyone into food/traveling should definitely check out layover

oh and, dont watch it if u havent eaten yet, you will likely end up getting real mad at the entire world
