Anyone seen either of:

Big Love

or

John In Cicinatti?

Replies from anyone that's seen full seasons would be appreciated.
But any feedback is cool.


Word.

[warren pease]

Big love is OK, but not great. Worth a torrent download. On par with shows like Weeds and Huff. (Huff is better actually)

John from Cinci was one of the most disappointing series of all times. The first season kicks ass. But the religious overtones never become understandable - like "lost" you'll be trying to figure it out and it'll feel like a brilliant puzzle - but unlike "lost" JFC's producers apparently had no idea where they were going with the show.

Also, avoid the John Adams series too. Unless you like listening to people mumble in colonial accents.

Now, Tombstone was probably the coolest HBO series ever, but was cut short at the end of its third season, despite great reviews and the understanding that it was supposed to be a four season deal, because its creator, David Milch, pitched the JFC idea to HBO who loved it and decided to cancel Tombstone. Watch Tombstone, if you haven't.

I can't remember Tombstone..was that the same as Deadwood?

Watch 'the Wire'. Beautiful tv.

[warren pease]

Yeah you're absolutely right. I meant to say Deadwood. Tombstone was the movie, great movie btw. I've never seen The Wire but i've only heard great things

I'm dissapointed that Generation Kill is only 7 episodes.

[tomwaits]

I thought Gen Kill was a movie coming out---good thing I'm reading this-ha.

Yeh the Wire for my money is the best show ever made ---like a great movie that goes on for 80 hours or so. I'm glad they stopped though--not sure if there was anywhere to "go" after 5 seasons.

[Pyongshin Sangja]

Generation Kill is fantastic.

[traxxe]

Oz, The Wire, Rome... and Showtimes Dexter...

Best series ever made.

[traxxe]

Generation Kill would count but it really isn't a series. Just seven and done. It was amazing too.

I think it was appropriately short. Based on a book and a true story I think. Generation Kill couldn't stretch something like that out a couple of seasons.

I love the HBO/Showtime shows.

I hear that "Breaking Bad" is very good, but I am having a hard time downloading it.

IMO, the Wire, The Sopranos, and Deadwood are/were great shows. Also, Six feet Under is involving.

Oh, and Rome was good

[Captain Marlow]

just started entourage... fking hilarious... big love is kinda like a soap opera and not very interesting (unless you have ties to the mormon church in which case it would prob be riveting)... the wire, fantastic and will keep a season continuously on my ipod for traveling... dexter is great and i'm looking forward to season 3... flight of the conchords is great too... heard they were gonna make another season (or a movie) of the sopranos.. just a rumor i think...

[tomwaits]

Anyone heard more of Gen Kill? It's all that.

Wonder how many houres it is.


Yo.
