celebrity cameo overall.

what does this mean?


I think this last one was the best yet. The characters are in place and the story's coming together nicely. Much like in the wire, just when you think things are going well someone gets (SPOIL?) capped.

I meant cameo overload.

Really really love this show, probably my favorite show on TV right now. Although I haven't yet gotten a chance to watch the finale yet.

The music, obviously is awesome... I'm gonna put me together a playlist of some of the featured tracks. Anyone else downloaded some of these yet? Any recommendations?

Don't think the finale's aired yet. These episodes keep getting better but....some of these musicians that pop up randomly are HORRIBLE actors.

My bad. For some reason since there was no episode Memorial weekend I thought the week before's was the final episode. So glad I was wrong.

So is this show worth watching or is it just hype based on The Wire?

Be honest.

The wire wasn't a one hit wonder. Everything these freaks make has been worth watching, most recently Generation Kill. So you shouldn't hav any trouble believing this is worth watching beyond hype value. Although really this is just more hype :/

Well so far I'd say I'm not as completely in to it as I was with the first season of the wire. But the possibilities of where it could go are definitely intriguing. Like i said before though some of the acting is awful and steve zahn's story gets pretty silly at times. But there is a lot going on thats really interesting and I can imagine if it ran for three or more seasons we might start to see some of this oil spill mess. new orleans is just getting constantly shit on, it starts to make baltimore not look so bad.

So what you're saying is I should hold off until season five then devour it all?

I dunno who writes these shows, but it's pretty different from the wire.  there much less suspense and the plot is much less complicated.  it hooks the audience with amazing music and characters, and you care about them and wanna find out what happens to their lives and how they are going to re-build after losing so much.  it's structured like a comedy that way though it does not aim to make you laugh.

The Wire was funny, though, Marlo tending to his pigeons was pretty funny.

I didn't say the wire wasn't funny.

this damn thing took forever to steal but finally catched up til episode 8, so glad to be in the bandwagon although it took me longer than I thought.

I have a huge crush on Annie, and I want to punch in the face that dutch douche piano player, I hope she gets rid of him.

Is it slower than Mad Men?
