All my most recent DL's.
My new ones to look at are Nurse Jackie and what is this show "The Wire" about?
My bro has watched Dexter...suppose to be pretty good.
breaking bad is suppose to be really good too.
Weeds...meh...Soccer mom starts choppin weed and bangin drug dealers...got a lil old for me.
The Pacific....I haven't been this dissapointed in an HBO drama ever. They hyped this series up so big and it fell so hard imo. The show is no where near being on the level of Band of Brothers. Don't expect anything amazing...at least IMO.
Thomas the train I haven't heard of.
In all seriousness though i haven't been able to find a drama HBO or NBC, CBS that can compare to the Wire. I've turned many people on to it and every person I have talked to is blown away.
As for what the Wire is....
this was the first paragraph and a half taken from Wikipedia. I think it does a good job describing the show.
"The Wire is an American television drama series set and produced in Baltimore, Maryland. Created, produced, and primarily written by author and former police reporter David Simon, the series was broadcast by the premium cable network HBO in the United States. The Wire premiered on June 2, 2002 and ended on March 9, 2008. Sixty episodes comprise its five seasons.
Each season of The Wire focuses on a different facet of the city of Baltimore.
They are, in order: the illegal drug trade, the port system, the city government and bureaucracy, the school system, and the print news media. The large cast consists mainly of character actors who are little known for their other roles. Simon has said that despite its presentation as a crime drama, the show is "really about the American city, and about how we live together. It's about how institutions have an effect on individuals, and how whether you're a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge or a lawyer, you are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution you've committed to."[1]
Despite never seeing a large commercial success or winning major television awards, The Wire has been described by critics as the greatest television series ever made.[2][3][4][5][6][7] The show is recognized for its realistic portrayal of urban life, its literary ambitions, and its uncommonly deep exploration of sociopolitical themes."
The part I bolded I wanted to bold because it might seem like the show jumps from one facet of the city to the next. This is true but you need to know that everything that happens in one season is carried over into the next for the most part. It is certainly a 5 season series.
