Offshore Toon 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Best television series ever. And there is a thread about it. Stringer Bell > all, as well, now that I'm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Much to my disgrace i've only watched the first series. It's got nothing to do with the fact I don't like it, far from it, but it's one of these shows which is so much better if you sit down and watch four, five, six episodes on the trot and at the minute I don't have the time. I do have the first four series on DVD when I finally do find the hours in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I found tedious, boring and totally unentertaining with a letdown of a finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty84 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Ketsbia - i definately get what you on about with the few episodes at a time, every time i watched one i always followed it up by watching another, and as their an hour one each episode with no adverts it makes for some long tv shifts! Jimbo - i've only watched the first series, and can see why someone may say unentertaining for some episodes as they can be all talk no action to build the plot, but if you like good structured books / movies, i cant see at all how you can say its tedious and boring, the plot is indcredibly well written and you literally have to follow everything or you can get lost with characters and plot. By far the best Tv show i've seen in terms of depth and logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It can be as deep and well acted and well directed as you like, but simple fact is for such a highly rated series fuck all happens, it's like raving about a Van Gogh by saying you admire the frame.

scotty84 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 its a pretty sweet frame though! thats what i'm loving about it atm though, from what people said i expected it to be bang bang chase fight etc but its the total opposite, or the first series was anyway. It spends so long building characters and settings you get immersed unlike most other cop shows like CSI or whatever where its a new plot everyweek to keep some speed. Going to get onto the second series, you may be right and it turns out like you say, but atm moment i'm all for it. Having said that, i'm a Lost fan so judge me as you will!

Howay 12496 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have to say I didn't like the 2nd series anywhere near as much as I did the 1st but I'm loving series 3 the second is still a must watch though as it obviously massively builds on the characters and sets things up for the 3rd series although I thought that Ziggy bloke was hilarious, he's also in Generation kill and is basically the same obnoxious twat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 36797 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Season 2 was easily the weakest IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
