The music is brilliant. It really has thrown something else into the mix. But I wasn't a fan of The Wire. Too slow and felt like nothing ever happened. I know some people love it for the complexities and the many different levels it operated on, but I stopped after getting to season three because I was bored to tears.
The likes of Mad Men and The Sopranos have that same level of intrigue, mystery, wonderfully crafted storytelling and freeze-frame capture of an era but with far more purpose and drive, in my eyes. I suppose I just watch shows to be entertained and gripped rather than battering scenes around my head trying to remember who said what because I couldn't understand what they were saying and why nothing seems to have changed. I guess I just like an old-fashioned story, which Simon rarely serves up. I loved Generation Kill but that may be because it was far shorter and driven to a conclusion/narrative we all loosely knew.

Leave this place and never come back.

Another good ep, I laughed a few times including the end.

I will say that I really would like to punch Davis, he is a total knob.

Watched episode 2 last night. Much better than the first, I thought. It's weird seeing Freeman without facial hair. He just looks so different and weird. :lol:

Third episode was really good. Best one yet. I love Steve Zahn's character. :wub:

I think you're the only person in the world who does :lol:

Still an excellent episode, Goodman looking out for paedo signs during the piano lesson was a really good touch

Thanks! Will watch this later.

I love John Goodman, strawberry floating brilliant this week.

Seems that the series has already been picked up for a second season which is good news.

Best episode yet, characters really seemed to develop some, I'm getting comfortable with them now and starting to identify with them.

I stand by the fact that I think it lacks a sort of central plot driving it forward but that was less of a concern this week as there seemed lots going despite most of it seeming rather inconsequential.

Good stuff

Decent episode this week, nothing special.

Any chance anyone could gif the satellite image of the storm and it crashing through the house in the opening titles, it was about 2:04-2:09 this week.

Why did you want that?

I'm surprised more people aren't watching this. Really enjoyable watching this show.

More people would watch it if they badly covered pop songs, instead of singing their own amazing stuff.

I'm waiting for the season to finish so I can watch it all close together. If it's like The Wire then one episode a week is like torture.

Also, I've got a backlog of stuff to watch at the moment but once 24 and Lost finish in a couple of weeks I should begin to catch up.

To put in my sig prior to the new season of Motorstorm; There be a storm a coming.

It's a bit big though, but cheers.

Any links for this weeks episode yet?

Would be be much appreciated.
