HBO are ing quality.
The Sopranos is the definitive answer. i feel The Wire is great (loved season 2), but is overrated somewhat - it didn't stand up to multiple views like the sopranos does - it became a slog. The Sopranos stays electrifying, even though you know it inside out.
Oz is ing awesome - the intro alone has more balls than most shows. it became the standard bearer for gritty and realistic shows. it was downright grisly.
there is a new HBO mini series just out made by David Simon of The Wire (and Paul Haggis) it's only 6 parts though, just started yesterday i believe - called Show Me a Hero.

I loved 6-part Jinx documentary too. |

My fav would be Oz, definitely.
Oddly enough, I couldn't watch The Sopranos untill the end, I think I stopped during S04. Maybe I was a kind of "show nerd" and watched too many at the same time without enjoying one. Same goes for The Wire.
What am I missing ? |

Game Of Thrones is really the only one I watch. Also Bill Maher from time to time. Used to be a fan of True Blood, but eventually stopped watching it. Also was a big fan of Ali G - can't recall what program it was on.
I generally prefer Showtime and AMC series over HBO series; namely, Homeland, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Ray Donovan. Looking forward to the new season of Homeland and Fear The Walking Dead, which begins next Sunday. |
