[quote name='taniwharugby']Series 2 of Justified starts next Wednesday, late night viewing, no advertising by TV One, was only somethign I was looking through in the Herald this morning[/QUOTE]<br />

Thanks for the heads up taniwharugby. Been enjoying series 2 even though there has been less Boyd in it so far. The new dope queen hillbilly character is great though <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -
[quote name='Tim']Pretend that the Wire ended after 4 seasons. They were great; season 5 was horrible.[/QUOTE]<br />
I like the 5th season - I liked the newspaper part of it (found it quite interesting) and I read up about the serial killer stuff that happened in real life so wasn't too worried about it. Lots of people disliked S2 due to the change in focus but I really liked that one as well. -
[quote name='Tim']Man, Gus the noble editor was the worst Mary Sue character outside of fanfic.[/QUOTE]<br />
Nah, piss off - he was a smoker, all his goodness gone in a puff <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />. -
The Wire is even better if you are from/familiar with Baltimore. So much rings true, the shooting locations are spot on, and a huge number of the characters are based on and quite similar to their real life inspirations. I used to drive through/around where they were shooting in the East Baltimore hood often when I was at grad school at Johns Hopkins.

have picked up S1 of The Wire, bit of a lean patch until April for Game of Thrones second series, so assuming I like will get through a few episodes between now and then

Wow TR, I thought for sure you would have seen The Wire. You lucky bastard getting to see it for the first time. Although I find it weird that you're going to watch it in a lean period between Game of Thrones. That's like saying you'll watch the ABs in the lean period between the S15s <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />.<br />

Rusty: How could The Wire be any better? It's not possible! -
oh I am sure I'll get through a bit more than 1 series, and my point about a lean period Nepia, is that the next good series that is due out, is Game of Thrones, therefore I am looking for stuff to watch between now and then, is nothing to do with the quality of either show!

All good, but I think my analogy still stands! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Although for me Game of Thrones is probably the NPC rather than SupeRugby (to anyone thinking I'm putting down Game of Thrones you're 100% incorrect, I'm putting down SupeRugby. -
I should damn well hope so, for me, Super Rugby is like Shortland Street...you watch it cos it happens to be on TV while you are sitting in the lounge, and then you pretend you dont <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />
<br />
For me, GOT and Breaking Bad are the pinnacle at present. -
The absolute brilliance of The Wire :<br />

Am up to the last episode of season 1 of The Wire and it's so fu*ken good. I can't believe it's taken me this long to watch it. Already got season 2 on DVD ready to go. It's cheap as to buy. $21 from most places.<br />
<br />
Did it actually play on TV in NZ? -

Yep. 11pm on a Wednesday or something like that. I remember watching it one night and thinking WTF is this shit - how wrong I was. Same with Firefly, watched an episode of that and thought WTF? They are two of my favourite shows. <br />
<br />
Let us know what you think of series 2. -
Modern Family. Just wasted a nights sleep watching the first season on DVD. Brilliant series.
-
I am about 6 episodes into "Homeland" **** its good. I love the fact that i have pretty much no idea what the hell is going on.
-
Walking dead series 2 resumed from it's mid season hiatus. Awesome show and currently the most popular thing on TV by a country mile right now based on downloads. I checked a few places out of curiosity and everywhere - it's like comparing cricket numbers to Don Bradman. It pretty crazy to to see just how popular this show is.<br />
<br />
Breaking bad - wow, have seen seasons 1 and 2 in the past couple of weeks and catching up on season 3. watching with the wife, she's as hooked as me! (never saw that coming considering how brutal that show can be)
