finished episode three, and uh, yeah I guess I’ll just sorta write oh god Jesus god no - gently caress we really lost a gem with Lance Reddick - Bubbles gently yet viciously tearing down the undercover outfit was awesome - oh wow the one thing I knew about the wire before I started is Omar so uh, what an introduction! Kinda like that it wasn’t seasons later - I couldn’t work at a strip club as a bartender, I feel like the stickiness would just get to me. Thong? Whatever. Sticky? Ew no no no no no - I could watch Mahon go down like a sack of potatoes forever - please don’t tell me my preicous McNulty is a two pump chump do not do this to me I have smut to google I’ll have to wait until Saturday at the earliest to watch episode four, going to a show tomorrow night.

NoiseAnnoys posted:it's pretty great. season 5 isn't so hot, but the other seasons are fantastic. Season 5, while debatably the worst season because of David Simon's stand-in character who is, in retrospect, an elitist jerk in a dying craft who is actually wrong about everything, is still some of the best TV ever produced. In fact that one thing is the only thing I don't like about it, I like even the stuff that people usually say isn't as good. Basically anything to do with Omar and the street characters is still as good as ever in season 5. Also, yes, Deadwood is amazing. The Leftovers is also top-tier.

Earwicker posted:i agree but i would add band of brothers to this list. the first one not the pacific one Yeah Band of Brothers is up there with best tv ever, the Pacific is very good but isn’t BoB2. I enjoyed it more the second time through accepting there is less following the same group and more focus on individual episodes & stories. The Okinawa ep is rough. Oh yeah Americans is top tier, especially how it gets better as it goes along and is the rare show that had abysmal ratings but the network gave it five seasons anyway. I especially liked how when they sometimes killed innocents either out of necessity or bad intel, it didn’t get handwaved by discovering the victim had secretly been a supervillain. They just had to accept it and move on and it built up until Philip couldn’t deal with it anymore.

Grape posted:Number one reason I don't trust Season 2 haters is they both come across like they don't get what the show is about (the whole picture), and also that they seem to be in it for a weird vaguely problematic fetishization of kool black street punks doing crimes. Rather than I guess the great writing and acting. listen i like season 2 a lot, but calling people racist because they find drug dealers more interesting than a dockworkers union is goofy as hell

I don’t think any show has ever stuck the landing quite as perfectly as The Leftovers Also Boardwalk Empire rules and the later seasons are even better than the early ones that people watched the most. Baaaaaaarney Google

Yeah they've hit the mark with that one. It's the return of Futurama that I'm dreading. Last time it came back it mostly sucked. I'm sure it'll suck this return too.
