I thought HANNIBAL was supposed to be an elite show? only 2 eps in and my original thinking of it was way off. I guess im just not used to what dr levtor used to be like or what he essentially did. prolly dont enjoy it was much since im only 2 eps in and my ignorance seeped in

Hannibal is the nuts, I'm not shocked you're not into it.

I was completely blown away by that show and am still in awe that a major network put out something so clearly elite and edgy. Scored the whole series from a local Bull Moose for ~$20. Huge win.

Mad men is definitly above all others, Prison break season 1 was ok but i dont know if it hold up 15 years later. Bates Motel wasn't great, suits is pretty average but watchable

I have the full hulu package with live TV, HBO , etc. runs me like $50 or something. It’s so much cheaper than a cable tv package and the thing I love about it is that I can bring it anywhere with me. Love watching golf tournaments on my second monitor at work.

i am now 5 eps in and actually the last 3 have been MILES better than the first 2, will stick t out for time being and try to get deep into S2

i watched both cudrup and adrian brody versions, both were actually about the same obv but different, both were actually enjoyable

I thought the biggest reason wasnt that they had nothing to base it off or anything to compare it to but that people felt nothing was learned of it, which I would disgaree

This is honestly a very easy google away, but basically the participants admitted lying about their feelings/performance, which invalidates the whole thing.

Prison Break dropoff in quality is probably the greatest/most memorable drop off in quality of any TV show of all time for me. I can't even think of a comparable.

The guards were coached by the guys running the experiment on what to do, how to torment the prisoners. Then the guys running the experiment lied about doing that and claimed the guards came up with that stuff on their own.

You can still take something away from that in that the guards were willing to torment the prisoners based on the orders of the experimenters, a bit like the Milgram experiments. But that's not at all how the experiment is represented.

I'll take your word for it since i didn't bother with s2. S3 is amazing, so maybe a contender for most improved from one season to the next?
