^ Ronnie Kray was a chutney ferret

And your point is?

The Wire has received critical acclaim for its realistic portrayal of urban life and uncommonly deep exploration of sociological themes, and has been called the best show on television by TIME, Entertainment Weekly,The Guardian,the Chicago Tribune, Slate, the San Francisco Chronicleand the Philadelphia Daily News. Despite the positive reviews, the show has failed to draw a large audience.

It is very good indeed.
They are going to make a fifth series which will be the last.

ok I am giving it a try

but your horrible taste in TV are noted

Be sure to watch them in order.
I'm not sure series 2 would have made any sense at all without watching series 1 first.

This is quality stuff that necessitates concentration, not cartoon trash like 24.

I get a headache from watching The West Wing. So I guess it might not be for me.

I get a headache from watching TellyTubbies.

Can somebody pls advise on Prison Break, first if it's worth downloading, then, I have found several season 1 complete torrents, for 12 - 22 episodes and sized from 3.85 - 13.95 gb. I have gone for 22 episodes (7.50 gb) though it may be fewer actual episodes with pilots and other bits.

Can't seem to find a healthy season 2 torrent, but don't expect to be watching s1 for a while so no hurry.

^ Enjoyable in a crappy, suspend disbelief, sort of way.

[keda]

Hope it's a bit more plausible than 24.

[Gerbil]

^ less

[ChiangMai noon]

very less.
a load of poop.

[Gerbil]

^ Gotta love "T-Bag" though

Someone has just lent me a load of DVDs of Oz.

Is it any good?

Yes, I hated every fuckin episode

You may be a tad biased, mate.

I was looking for an opinion from a cultured Englishman actually. Noony, what do you think of it?

[Butterfly]

Prison Break is fucking boring, couldn't finish Episode 1

maybe it's a good recommendation for some

[ChiangMai noon]

I actually didn't mind the first half of the first series.
it seemed like a decent idea.
It has just got worse and worse.
Nowhere near as bad as the awful 24 but quite a lot bad.

[RandomChances]

Battlestar Galactica the new one not the cheesy old one, it's pretty good even if you'r not into si-fi, quite dark really. I've been watching it from that link off MrsQ.

Time magazine declared in the spring of 2005 that the new show was one of the six best drama programs on television. It would proclaim the program the best show on television in December of the same year.The American Film Institute named the show to its list of the ten best shows on television. Other mainstream publications such as the Chicago Tribune, Rolling Stone magazine, and Newsday also named the series one of the best on television for 2005. In 2006, the series won a prestigious Peabody Award in recognition of its creative excellence.

[Marmite the Dog]

I've got series 2 of Black Books to watch, so that should be fun.

Then I'll have a gander at Oz, but I'll not bother with DVDs 2 & 3 if its as bad as everyone reckons.

I had a neighbor that had done some time, we kinda recognized one another, walk talk and the like. We got to be friends. He loved the show, I often asked him, "Why? Do you miss the joint?" It put me back inside. Never really like it for that reason.

The intrigue, drama and "counseling" all are as accurate as I've ever seen, more so than most documentaries; one of the actors is/was a NYC HA that has done a few years. I really hated to watch the show. Was too fucking real.

But you want to know if it's entertaining? Who knows what the fuck an "Englishman" will watch? After all, you did give us Benny Hill, didn't you?

[flash]

OZ wasn't bad, I knew a couple of the actors in it(we had the same dealer) it can be a little predictable at times but i think its worth a watch.

You can do what you like with it after it's downloaded.
You can burn it or watch it while it is still uploading if you want to continue to seed it.

You can watch it as soon as it's downloaded, you don't have to wait for it to
seed. You don't even have to seed if you don't want tho' it's considered
polite to seed the torrent for a while.

You can copy to CD or DVD if you want, just make sure your
player understands the file format or use some VCD or DVD mastering
software that will do everything automatically.

If you're downloading "Bangkok Girl" I should warn you that it's
pretty crap, the narrator's got the whiniest voice I've ever heard -
sounds like Woody Allen on heroin. Only worth watching for the scumbag
sexpats (quote, "F***in' great blowjobs here, I work for an international
school").
