Finally got round to watching it all.
Tried it once, got 4 or 5 episodes into series one and gave up beacuse I had other commitments. Just finished the 4th series and I think it's a real masterpiece. Awesome television. |

| I've heard so much about it...but haven't watched it yet- just a few episodes here and there. I loved treme (totally different, i know, but a few similar cast members and the same director, i think) |

| Possibly the best show ever. Season 4 was my favourite. A lot of big plot developments in that one. The way they wrapped the series up was superb too, unlike that tripe on The Sopranos (god that show was so ing overrated) |

Season 1 was the slowest imo. Watched 8 eps or so, gave up on it for a year, then started it again and loved. Best written US TV show ever.
Twin Peaks still owns overall tho :o |

Interesting. Lots of praise for a show that bored me to tears the few times I watched.
Must be something in the water. |

Jimmy was the man. People flock to Omar because they think he was some sort of Robin Hood. He wasn't. Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Omar stole from drug dealers and kept the take.

I had the same reaction at first. I gave up. If my friend hadn't convinced me to go back to it I would've missed out on one of the best TV series I've ever seen. I think certain types of dramas need a bit of time to lay the seeds of the plot and characters before they take off. Treme was pretty slow too. Hopefully it takes off in the next season. |
