Or if you know what codecs are...

Ok, thanks to your recs have done Trailer Park Boys (brilliant), The Wire (ditto), Deadwood (unwatched) and The Shield will be finished tomorrow...

Cinema Paradiso was also recd, but that was in Italian and accordingly binned, and Scarface is always worth having but not in Spanish!

Can't think of too many series that could rival TPB and The Wire, but what's next?

[blackpanther]

^entourage, carnivale and heroes?

[keda]

They're on the way, thanks.

[benbaaa]

carnivale

I loved season 1 of that, but season 2 went a bit silly...

[Butterfly]

might have to give it a try, those HBO specials are always great

[ChiangMai noon]

Anyone seen the Tudors?
Comes highly recommended.

One of the few shows I liked on UBC was "The deadliest catch"
I saw series 1 and 2 before getting rid of the piece of shit satellite system.

I am in the process of watching series 3 downloaded from EZTV
Great docudrama.
Those guys deserve the massive financial rewards of their job.

[keda]

Update: Everything below already downloaded, only TPB and The Wire viewed and mucho thanks for those. Now watching The Shield S01, great stuff, with Heroes, Deadwood, Carnivale, Prison Break, Black Adder and Entourage in the traps.

Just started dling The Deadliest Catch but that'll be over in a few days and then will be all dressed up but nowhere to go, so what's next?

This thread should get a brilliant for the lifeless award.

[Fstop]

I'm jealous that you're just starting the Shield. Awesome show. Best on tv nowadays.

[ChiangMai noon]

^
very good, but not as good as the wire I don't think.

I am a few episodes into Heroes.
Not sure what to make of it yet, but after putting myself through the torture of series 6 of 24, it is a step in the right direction.

[Fstop]

Yeah don't bother with series 6 of 24 - same shit but different day. They really need to kill most of the cast off and start fresh like they did with season 5. Both The Wire and The Shield only have 1 season left, although I've no clue when they air.

[keda]

I'm jealous that you're just starting the Shield. Awesome show. Best on tv nowadays.

Eyes glued to the screen for Wire 1, felt let down a bit in wire 2 but caught up after about 3 episodes, wire 3 was lost on me and still can't recall what it was about, and felt someone was doing some squeezing in wire 4, possibly because it's all relative and wire 1 was a such a killer.

Shield 1 had me sit mrs at her computer with strict instructions to be quiet for the next day, now halfway through shield 2, not as good but excellent.

Deadliest Catch and Dog Whisperer coming along well, Prison Break still dling (thought it was finished but isnt), 35gb of Sopranos started for want of something to put in dl stack, but train wreck will be looming this time next week unless you pros come up with something to match wire/shield.

[ChiangMai noon]

unless you pros come up with something to match wire/shield.

i think you can forget those expectations with Prison Break.

It starts well but disintegrates into absolute rot unfortunately.

[keda]

They often tend to do just that but to be fair it can't be easy to uphold standards when you start off with such gooduns, which is why the Wire and Shield are so outstanding (even with previous griping). Thanks for the caution on Prison Break, will not raise expectations.

[Fstop]

I really really hated the 2nd season of Prison Break, especially the ending. The show really should have been a miniseries rather than a complete series.

The Wire --- best show on HBO, and also the most underrated. Season 1 was and is the best. Season 2 was okay but didn't really like it. Season 3 was awesome as well, and season 4, well, I really didn't like it all that much, primarily because the main character was AWOL for most of it.

Currently I'm on the second season of Battlestar Galactica, which is worth every bit of the hype that it got.

[ChiangMai noon]

Agreed that season 2 of PB was dreadful.
They had so many opportunities to finish it off, but ended up pampering to the idiotic audience.
I certainly won't be watching series 3.

There is a brand new HBO show called 'meadowlands', I think I'm going to give that a go next.

Up to episode 8 of 'heroes, very watchable but still not convinced.

[Butterfly]

The Wire Season 3 was great, Season 2 was still OK. I will not be watching Season 4

Heroes, is kind of geeky but it's ok. Not sure what would come out of Season 2. I only got partially addicted on that one, and it was only after episode 8 or so

Looking forward for that trashy 24, can't get enough of that.

BSG Season 1 and 2 are the greatest. But Season 3 was highly disappointing despite a promising half season beginning. If you can avoid Gallactica Season 3, do or stop watching at the Season break around Episode 18. They run out of ideas apparently.

[Marmite the Dog]

Just watched Entourage Series 1.

S'ok.

[Fstop]

Ahh yes, Entourage. You guys should really check this gem of a show out. The stories and plots are just okay, but the writing is just great. Ari Gold and Johnny Drama are two of the most funny and colorful characters on tv today. Case in point:

Ari: Listen, Lloyd (Ari's Asian assistant), I want you to put all my files, folders, binders, *everything* into a box! If you find a used condom, an executioner's mask, and a fucking spike paddle, don't think, just pack that bitch! Chop suey!

[Gerbil]

Just started on "Life on Mars". First episode was excellent, so I'm looking forward to the rest.

[mrsquirrel]

Just finished Thief

Niceshort 7 part series.

I raped Bitme.tv for 400GB of stuff a month ago and am slowly getting my way through it.

[NickA]

I bought one of those DVD players that plays divx, so should be able to get through my series a bit quicker...if anyone is interested, although, I suspect, you probably won't be
