    Watched this whole series this past summer before football started up, the wife and I loved it. Really well written and acted pretty much throughout, one of our all time favorites now.

    I watch about an episode a night. Right now I'm in the middle of the third season. It's awesome

    I know I'm totally late on this but I saw on Amazon prime they added a bunch of HBO series on there. Needless to say I ended up binge watching this. For the most part, I thought it was a really solid series. I was disappointed that Omar died. I really enjoyed his character. I thought Season 4 was probably the best in my opinion. I thought the way they brought those kids into the fold was perfect. I felt season 5 was rushed but that's just my opinion. I wasn't a fan of Marlow but you can't win them all.

    I'm not sure what to watch next. I hear great things about Deadwood and Oz.

    Deadwood is awesome. Check out Scandal, it's pretty good too.

    Man my wife watches Scandal. I told her I would only watch that show if I could take a shot every time Kerry Washington looks like she's going to cry. I swear she gets teary eyed every 5 minutes.

    I think I'll start with Deadwood.

    Deadwood is greatness, couldn't bring myself to watch the final 2 episode though since it never had a proper ending.

    Season 3 and 4 of the Wire are some of the best in television history.

    Season 1 and 2 are absolutely amazing.

    If not for the mediocre season 5, The Wire would rank ahead of Breaking Bad for me.

    Deadwood is fine. You might also consider Rome

    Rome is a personal favorite of mine and the clear precursor to GOT in terms of production. Shame it died an early death and had the rushed 2nd season.

    Just finished season 2 a few days ago, amazing series so far. I had heard the whole port's storyline was a drag, but it really got going towards the end.

    The Wire is easily top three of all time. I wouldn't bother with Scandal, it started strong but fell off VERY fast IMO. I got about five episodes into Deadwood and stopped, I think I'll revisit soon since we're in the middle of the summer lull. Might have to check out Rome as well.

    I just started 2 nights ago. I'm on episode 5 season 1. The biggest shock to me so far, is that Chalky White is gay. :eek:
