Best sho/hbo series?

[seemingly random]

When you start watching Deadwood, if you have any trouble following the dialog, try turning on the captions. Maybe you need it maybe you don't, but the genius behind the show is the dialog. Even the characters you won't like say some of the most memorable things.

Yes, the dialog is intense. I've wondered if it truly represents how people spoke in this place and time.

Another curiosity is the aggravated and angry demeanor of most characters.

[Just finished watching the entire series.]

Rome was fucking awesome. Deadwood is pretty amazing too, I agree that the dialogue totally makes that show. Not for the unintelligent.

Band of Brothers kicks ass as well.

The Wire.

Past favorite - Sopranos
Current favorites - Dexter and Entourage...I also watch Californication but it's lost some of its luster - imo the best season was the first, and Lew Ashby improved the second season but it wasn't as good as the first.

I want to go back and watch Rome too...

Brotherhood is really nice. Reminds me of The Wire.

It's hard to find anything "memorable" between all the overused cursing in the dialogue.

I thought it was okay, whenever I saw the show I thought 'NYPD Blue in the old west' - same creator.

Yet everything I have read and/or heard say that type of dialogue is very accurate for the time frame and/or location.

right now its 'Californication'. I just started watching it and love it! Hilarious show!

 

[QueBert]

I vote the Wire. It is an amazing show

Watching the first few episodes of True Blood, isn't it just Twilight in a serialized package for older tweens (pardon the oxymoron).

Anyone see the previews for the new HBO miniseries for, I think, Marck 2010.

Same producers as Band of Brothers. It's called "The Pacific".

It looks likes it's going to be pretty good.

There's a few threads already in ATOT on it.

Pacific is what I'm looking forward to, Europe has been covered way too many times and Russia won that one and never gets coverage.

I did try a search and only came up with this thread...i figured just to add it here instead of starting a new one.
