Chris Moss Acid Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 word. also check out Arrested Development if you haven't. Really hilarious comedy, only 3 seasons so its not a huge commitment, and the drama/character interaction/story arch is incredibly complex and fantastically written leaving you with a cliffhanger of some sort after each episode. also, there's David Cross, which is a total selling point on its own yeh, i saw a topic on here saying it wasnt all it was cracked up to be... i dont think twin peaks will be my thing, but i'll check out the first season after generation kill.

Guest maantecaaa!!! Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 oh fren, i finished season 5 of the wire this week. i know exactly what you're going through. at the end you realize they really do wrap everything up. the suggestions above are good. you can also try 'the corner' by the same guys that made the wire. alot of the same actors but in surprisingly reversed roles, eg daniels as a junkie. it's not as nuanced as the wire and some parts a little hammy, but a good complement to the other if you're a big fan. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « i can't believe they got omar like that. motherfuckers.

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 yeh, i saw a topic on here saying it wasnt all it was cracked up to be... i dont think twin peaks will be my thing, but i'll check out the first season after generation kill. arrested is very good. ignore kokoon. you haven't seen twin peaks? thats an obvious choice. do it. wonderful television. windham earl acid! i'm guessing you've seen all the UK comedies like spaced etc?

Guest maantecaaa!!! Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 word. also check out Arrested Development if you haven't. yeh, i saw a topic on here saying it wasnt all it was cracked up to be... PLEASE check it out. i get easily bored by alot of things but arrested development seems like it actually gets better the more you watch the repeats. I didn't want to like it at first but by the 3rd episode i was hooked. so weird how an acquired taste usually is stronger in the long run than something you like right away.

Guest IRARI Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Sopranos is the answer. Im not going to get into the whole Wire vs Sopranos debate, but in my opinion Sopranos is still superior. is the sopranos good all the way through? or does it start to drag in the later seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktait2 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 good all the way through, better in the later seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Babar Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 i'd try 'breaking bad' but its not 5 seasons long sorry then maybe 'king of queens' breaking bad is definitively the best series i've ever seen in that each episode looks like a movie. I particularly enjoy the epiphany-like endings. lol i didn't noticed your signature xxx. I'm also in lumpenprol's one in which i vent my feelings about american chicken. lol. i'm a winner. cliché, touché, coulé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adjective Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 twin peaks before anything else and make sure you start with the pilot, close with twin peaks: fire walk with me also arrested development is what its cracked up to be and more, tons of repeat value curb your enthusiasm (limit 2 episodes per night) deadwood is pretty good six feet under is okay Larry Sanders Show add a dash of "Three Sheets" in there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 i can buy a dvd boxed set here of all the Sopranos, for like 40 bucks or something. Is it really worth it? I've been hesitating for a while, I grab the box and then put it back. For some reason I get the feeling it's too clever for its own good - like, "tee hee, see the crime boss has a shrink, lol, he's just like you and me - except he gets to enact your violent fantasies" - and what I heard about the ending just seemed pretentious. Am I way off base? The Wire was great, all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 dexter is poo wrong! oh yea, i saw an episode of Weeds recently. it was like Ugly Betty or something, total crap. right!

Am I way off base? yeah I can relate to this, the show definitely limped to the finish, the last season was incredibly weak imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba69 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 dude, I think that you should definatly watch twin peaks. Its all free streaming on CBS's website. At least watch the first 3 episodes and then decide if you want to see the rest, if not, watch a few more anyways, its really good, not at all what you think it will be like, mainly because there has never been anything like it, before or after, it really captures the themes of mystery and fantasy better than anything I really know.

Guest ward Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 arrested development - hilarious at times, love the characters dexter - not the best thing on tv, but the main character is lovable and the story line is quite refreshing the shield - not seen yet, but recommended as a quick fix replacement to the wire generation kill - not seen yet but got it as it's written by david simon the sopranos - fucking. brilliant. if i'd just finished the wire and hadn't seen the sopranos yet, i'd go for this. i fucking LOVED the wire, but sopranos is supreme. the trailer park boys - not mention of this yet? the BEST comedy series on tv ever? yes i think so. fucking hilarious. band of brothers - amazing ww2, but you've probably seen it entourage - ARI GOLD, fantastic. funny show. and oh yeah, twin peaks! need to find my flipping copy of season one again.
