Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

Another thumbs up for The Bureau - second series underway and even better than the first.

"Homicide series by the Wire bloke was pretty good, at least season 1 was, which is all I've seen so far. Love the stand up comic bloke who starts in it, who's always going on about ex-girlfriends and the benefits of the hemp plant."

"I wouldn't call re-watching the Wire a waste of 60 hours. Better that than spending 60 hours watching something new that's just mediocre. I often re-read books and re-watch films. Probably depends on whether you're more interested in the story or the story telling. If it's mainly the story and you're not so fussed about the writing, dialogue, acting, etc. then not worth it at all, but otherwise..."

"mart o, i loved the Homicide series too but never read the books"
Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
"That's the thing Miike, I just think it is so much better than anything else I've ever seen in terms of the quality of the writing, the acting, the characters, dialogue....you name it. Most of all, every season and episode is worthwhile. Funnily enough, couple of years back I came across a copy of David Simon's book 'Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets' which was obviously the basis for that series and to some extent 'The Wire'. I couldn't believe how badly written it was. I still struggle to see how he went from that to writing the greatest tv drama ever, IMHO, of course...there must be hope for the rest of us..."

ill watch it again soon. still for me up there with anything made. just so many great characters with omar & bunk the stand outs. their chat towards the end of the series is perfect acting
Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
"So I was seriously thinking about watching The Wire again. The whole thing. Daft idea, of course, unless you were bedridden. However, I did come across this 'Omar Comin' Supercut', which I thought was excellent and some of you might enjoy if you have 2h45 to waste...(well, it's a little better than wasting 60 hours) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpKfV8l-bdc"

Mart O Happens a lot in the states when TV shows are due to be broadcast on holiday weekends. E11 would've aired over the Labor day weekend so they pushed it back a week out there and then do the same to us.
