was season 1 not dope for you? I loved season 1 when it aired
Yea, I'm definitely into it. But after hearing everyone known to man hype this up like no other, I'm wondering if season 1 was just a teaser before I feel this way to.
i can't see not being hooked if you made it to the end of season 1. initially i fell out half way through the first season because i got stuck on one skyler-heavy ep, once i got past that it was pure crack
deadwood is the third. those are the holly trinity because A. they were incrdedibly realized in almost every way (downward slope of sopranos nonwithstanding), and B. while HBO had some other great dramas over the years, those are the only 3 that went beyond the framework of their immediate subject matter to become commentary on american life and history in general.
john from cincinatti was amazing but even if they let it live it would've been too weird to be counted as an all around goat
rome was my shit, but somehow the great parts they had going never added up to a truly great whole. ultimately something was missing overall, i could never exactly put a finger on it
oz turned into hilarious self parody by the end, despite very strong beginning
carnivale was a victim of its own ambitions, and i both hate and respect that they didn't budge and stayed on their planned course even though the chances of them actually finishing the arc they planned over 6 seasons were almost non existant
