Yup! Season two isn't as good, though. I'm about three episodes away from being finished on it.

Stick with it. Season 2 is the consensus low point of the series.

It's almost a blessing that the Writer's Strike happened and ended that nonsense.

Yeah, I have no intention of stopping at season two, especially since it seems to be a universal "yeah this one wasn't so good." The episode where they play Laribee was fucking awesome, anyway.

I'm seriously considering purchasing Showtime for a couple months for Homeland.

[fr34k]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Homeland beats Breaking Bad for my number two Drama spot this year (behind Mad Men, of course).

[GoGo Yubari]

I would be pretty shocked personally when it comes to my list. But the #3 spot held by Game of Thrones isn't untouchable.

[Josh]

Finished The Wire today. Not really sure how to unpack my thoughts on the season or the series as a whole. I think my feelings on it will develop more later. Right now, I'm numb more than anything.

The most recent episode of Louie was just surreal for so many reasons.

The most recent episode of Louie was just surreal for so many reasons.

That ending, however, was fantastic. I've not laughed that hard at a non-animated comedy in quite a long time.

[Josh]

Oh, when I said it was surreal, I did not mean I didn't like it or didn't laugh. Quite the opposite.

Nearly caught up with Breaking Bad, which has been amazing. I've got to catch up with Mad Men afterwards. Skipped season two of Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones because the first seasons bored me, but I want to get caught up just in case I'm missing out on something. Then I can start new shows. From word of mouth I'm looking at Falling Skies, Terriers, Alphas, Flashpoint, Sons of Anarchy, Fringe and Grimm. Obviously I'm not going to manage them all unless I lose my job sometime soon so any in particular I should watch first? Terriers only has 13 episodes (I think) so I'll probably start with that.

[GoGo Yubari]

If you didn't like season one of Game of Thrones I can't possibly imagine you liking season two.

Yeah, if you didn't like Season 1 of Game of Thrones you won't like Season 2 either probably. Boardwalk Empire improved greatly in Season 2, but still might be difficult to get through if you didn't like it before.

I can recommend Terriers and Sons of Anarchy, although Terriers will throw you into a deep depression after you're finished because you will never understand why it was canceled. I watched the first couple of episodes of Grimm and didn't enjoy it at all, but I heard it got better later on.

[Walker]

I liked Boardwalk Empire at first, loved it in fact, second half of season one is when my interest wavered. It isn't that I didn't like Game of Thrones either, I just didn't seem to find the same enjoyment in it that everyone else seemed to find, left me a bit cold. I'd probably like it a lot more if I forgot about the hype it has.

[Josh]

After one episode, Treme is off to a good start. Curious to see where it goes.

[fr34k]

Treme is absolutely fantastic. I'm caught up now and it's really enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the next season.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Treme is great. Can't wait for season 3.

[Berober]

Fringe. Yes or No?

[MalaCloudy Black]

I'd say yes. It's a decent show in season 1, but I think it really picks up steam about halfway through season 2. It can be a little confusing to follow at times, though.

[Josh]

Treme is great. Can't wait for season 3.

Yeah, I chose Treme specifically because it returns so soon. Boardwalk Empire will be after that, for the same reason.

[Josh]

Just finished Season 1 of Treme. Very worthwhile viewing. t' last three episodes of t' season are arguably as good as any other 3 episodes I've seen of any other show.
