Game of Thrones

[The Baron]

Another factor for me is rewatchability.

I've seen season 3 of 24 twice and it was painful the second time around. Also I have no desire whatsoever to ever go through Lost again even though I was hooked the first time. Something like Sopranos which I rewatched recently was actually better the second time around. Ditto for a few other series.

Best series ever... Man V Food

[redarmi]

Surely Man v Food isn't rewatchable!!!!!  I nearly throw up everytime i stumble across it.

[Marky147]

wire
lost
24

in that order

wait what are we only choosing from 3 tv shows........


seriously people need to watch the whole HBO back catalogue

HBO are great no doubt about it, one mans pleasure is another mans pain though and just because you don't like something it doesn't mean it's not great to that person.

Oz
Sopranos
Six Feet Under
The Wire
Deadwood
Entourage
Hung
Eastbound & Down
Luck

I really enjoyed all of those, some more than others and 2 of them are amongst my favourite shows ever.

Some of the HBO stuff just doesn't appeal to me, I'm not going to watch it just because it's made by them. I will admit to watching most of Tell Me You Love Me because Penny from lost was in it though and naked for much of it

I'll agree with Baron on some shows being rewatchable and others not so, I've seen FNL a few times now and absolutely loved it as much the 2nd time even though I knew what was happening, same with Sopranos and The Wire.

I do have Band of Brothers, Generation Kill and Rome on my hard drive to watch, they're gonna have to wait now while I watch GoT and start NCIS.


Can't say I've ever watched Man vs Food though and don't expect to

[The Baron]

Zomg Deadwood. Totally forgot about it. Criminal that no more will ever be made.

If you haven't watch MVF you haven't lived. Incred show!!

[DaveShoelace]

Man vs Food is amazing.

Every episode, guaranteed, an obese hill billy will go by his side when he is struggling and start giving him the motivational speech about how eating shit loads of food makes him a real man, love it.

He came to England recently to film a show, cant wait for that one.

[millidonk]

After a night out instead of whacking on babestation I watch reruns of MvF. That show is pure sex.

Walking dead would also be added to my list of great series, also prison break season 1 was incred!

[DMorgan]

Eastbound & Down

This is absolutely incred

Just checked the wiki page to see when season 3 is coming but it started airing in February! So psyched.

[Marky147]

Eastbound & Down

This is absolutely incred

Haha it's all done and dusted now...

RIP Kenny you had a great run, but you're fucking out!!!

Eastbound & Down

This is absolutely incred

do yourself a favour and don't even consider watching any of season 3. it's truly awful and will ruin any good memories you have of the first 2

I totally agree, it's just when in the same breath as Sopranos/Wire we're being told how good 24/Lost is my head actually asplodes.

Band of Brothers is UTTERLY INCREDIBLE, if you have any interest in the war, any respect for those who died and what happened you cannot fail to be moved and amazed. you know the ending and it's still amazing. At uni I kept rewatching it with people who hadn't seen it, all thanked me, I probably watched it right through 6-7 times in 4 years.

Generation Kill is really interesting, whilst Rome is pure class.

I still have a few HBO on my list of things to watch - Boardwalk Empire, Luck, Eastbound and Down and I can't wait!




Also the fact most shows have full 1 hours episodes

Should i watch Deadwood or Sons of anarchy next?

Should i watch Deadwood or Sons of anarchy next?

Deadwood is amazing, if you have any interest in the Wild West, Cowboys, drinking whiskey likes it's water, or Lovejoy then you'll find it incredible.


Sons of Anarchy I have also seen, and I hate to sound like a twat, but although it's more than watchable it's not the same level of quality content.


Essentially, I would HAVE to watch every episode of w/e HBO show in order, whereas w/24 or SoA or other more generic stuff I think missing one episode isn't the end of the world.

[Horneris]

Band of Brothers is UTTERLY INCREDIBLE

This

Yeah its amaze, The Pacific is almost as good too, for some reason I didn't appreciate how good that one was the first time I watched it, but the second time, incred.

The theme of Deadwood put me off for a long time but once I watched it I spent a lot of time looking into the Wild West etc.  A truly great series and if you are not normally into historical dramas etc don't let it put you off.
