Just saw the Generation Kill trailer up on hbo.com - new miniseries coming in July, from the creators of The Wire. Looks like a military action/drama thing set in Iraq. Trailer is a bit light on content but given HBOs track record it'll prolly be worth a gander.

given how f***ing awesome the wire was (the most well written, intriguing, capturing and invoking tv series i have ever watched)
i am wetting myself with anticipation over this new mini series.

awesome, will have to check this out. The wire is the bomb. Best show evar.

I only just finished watching The Wire after starting it at Christmas. It is definitely one of the best shows that have ever been on TV. Such good characters and story. Very involving and captivating. Anything by the people that made it is worth my time.

And it's got Beecher in it, how cool.

The wire rocked, high expectations for this

wifey has been telling me non stop about the wire (its on in the middle of the night when shes up feeding)

i better get in on this!

Hopefully it'll be better than FX's 'Over There'

given HBOs track record

You mean it will be cut after season 2 :)
So many good shows on HBO get cut..

rip carnivale

needs more liberal use of the words c*** and c*********. thats what hbo is missing imo.

Name a single show that didnt finish its season...

Shows might not get renewed on HBO but they never get cut.

I took "cut" to mean they didn't FINISH, not just their season - which, for an HBO show is basically the same thing, because they're typically so f***ing awesome that when they're not ended "properly" you feel like you've been ripped the f*** off!@@#

RIP

Deadwood

Don't be so anal. Like trog said, I mean renewed at the end of the season. They ditch the show and then release the crap on DVD and try to flog a 1/2 finished product to fans. I like the stance that NBC has taken with Friday Night Lights to continue with season 3 and possibly season 4 (if it goes that long).

This show looks cool though. So I'm definitely keen to watch it.

HBO is not FOX!

Oz. Sex and the city. The Wire.

Two of the best shows ever, and plenty of cocksucking c***s for nf, all of them ran 5+ seasons.

half way through the wire - season 01 (dvd was hard to find in the shops)


thank you qgl.

edit; also nats - sopranos, can't forget about sopranos..

are you watching it with subbies on? I really struggled in the first season understanding what they were saying :-) you do get used to it but it's hard without them.

Also, there's one season, maybe season 3, where it seems nothing actually happens, but it's still completely awesome.

Look forward to your kids frst words being "n*****" or "shiiiiiiiiiiit"

ya know, you'd have to work for society's elite to see how stupid a comment that really was Bah.

this isn't a religious order matey

Yeah i'm sure his kid will be able to see past the colourful language and get the complex, gritty storylines dealing with beaurocracy, drugs, crime etc.
