If you have never seen it you are missing something great. Go binge the 1st 2 seasons now…

Honestly, I think I got spoiled by Oz and The Sopranos, man those were fantastic shows. The Spartacus series was outstanding as well. Luck was a huge disappointment, I tried so hard to follow that show. Rome=Lame. Carnivale=borefest. House of Lies=No thank you. The Pacific<Band of Brothers. Prison Break=Great first season.

HBO needs to get their mojo back big time. They invented this type of television and they need to step back up to the plate. Do The Sopranos back in the 50's/60's instead of that Steve Bucemi series they were doing. You CAN'T have slow pacing, it doesn't ever work.

Right now I think I'm going to at least try Black Sails and go from there.

Oh yeah, killing of Adriana was the death of The Sopranos no matter what anybody else says!

I have scrupulously avoided watching television for many years–most of my adult life–until someone recommended ‘Breaking Bad’ and I binge watched the entire series, all 3-4 years, in a week, then ‘Better Call Saul’ more recently. Clearly things have changed in the last decade or so. I was a bit put off by the short bit of Black Sails I saw, but perhaps I need to give it another shot, as it is one of my favorite subjects in non-fiction literature. ‘The Americans’ sounds particularly intriguing.
