Doctor von dickinyourarse says if you don't like the wire you like horses molesting your pooper.

Nah it is ok, I just want to know when it livens up a bit, only 2 hours in atm.

Oh and as for the horses, as I told the local newspaper it was merely a stag night prank gone wrong.

Lesbian titty scene? Not bad, needs more nipple action though. :D

The pacing of it takes abit to get used to, I really started getting into about 4-5 episodes in. Stick with it though it only gets better.

i think it's the sort of thing that either draws you in or it doesn't. as above, it is definitely not conventionally paced or written. i'd agree that if you aren't digging it 4-5 episodes in you probably just won't ever like it, which would be a shame given it is easily one of the best written/acted tv series' ever.

Gonna watch 2 more before bed and will finish the series off in the next few days. Will post back with my thoughts as I work through the episodes.

Someone please clarify, the entire 5 series is about the chase to take 1 drug dealer (Avon Barksdale) down?

I liked everything about the show except almost every police character... which was a pretty big downfall for me. They're just so annoying so i can't enjoy the show properly, watched halfway into season two before i couldnt be bothered anymore.

The ghetto characters were pretty fun but they all end up dead or in jail :(

I like it, nearly at the end of series 4 now, I wouldn't call it "The best thing ever!™" but its better than most of the drivel on TV.

NO NO NO :eek:

The CSI scene with only two words used throughout - fuck and motherfucker.

Season one gets very good after about episode 4, season 2 takes a bit of getting used to because of a slight change in direction. 3, 4 and 5 are simply brilliant.

Couldn't see that on a skip through and tbh I prefer lesbians. :p

I hated that "fuck" scene, unoriginal and not even done well. Made me cringe more than laugh :|

First season completed, took 7-8 episodes for me to get a feel for it but I am glad stuck with it. Just grabbed season 2 and 3, hopefully get time to watch them over the next couple of weeks. So far so good. :)

Nooooo burn notice is not really good, it's really cheesy :(

Michael helps random client x to outsmart douchebag y for every episode until the end with the occasional 2 mins of overall plot arc added in and then the last 2 series episodes wrap that up.
