I watched a bit of this the other day. It was such a bag of wank I had to turn it off.

V unimpressed...

I highly recommend the book that spawned the TV series...best to read the book first and then watch the series, but i guess its too late for most

I read the book and watched the whole series when it aired in the States, but didn't learn until the other week that the "Fruity Rudy" character is actually played by himself. He went along as a technical advisor and ended winning his own part.

I wanted it to be a proper sniping rifle.

In .50 cal, not some poxy 7.62 thing.

And it looked to me as if the bore was off centre in the barrel... maybe my eyes are going funny...

ah, with you now... fully agree!!

[scooby]

Arse, you're right. i've missed episode one

Altho looking at hte Sky planner i have it has episode premier is Tuesday nights, and thats not just for the HD channel.

Ah well, bitorrent here i come...

[scooby]

You are out of sync by one episode.

We are on episode 3 which was shown last night and will be repeated a few days this week.

Eh? which did i miss then? the one on anytime was repeated on Saturday night... Was the "shoot all Iraqqies if in doubt" not the first??

Damn, will have to go and download it all now

[Clippy]

wasnt bad the first episode, watched it off Sky Anytime. 2nd Episode is Tuesday night isnt it?

What was wrong with the sniping rifle? thats standard issue for the yank marines...

It was a bit...

Wasn't very impressed with that sniping rifle though.

I have it recorded and am looking forward to watching it.

Wasn't it FX that also showed "Breaking Bad". Another obscure series that was well worth the time.

Like the green lizard I'm also a great fan of Deadwood.

WHS, best TV program I've ever seen, leaves everything else for dead.

Gotta agree. It's a touhhie between the wire and the sopranos for me, though the wire is cleverer I reckon ...

[ookook]

I don't watch a lot of telly, but I loved 'the wire'. It really was the best TV cop show- ever. It was loved the critics in the UK and in the US and had a serious cult following. The reason why no one really knows anything about it is that it was a HBO show and wasn't picked by any of the major UK TV channels (unlike the Soprano's or Sex and the city). HBO programmes are pretty hard core with a lot a swearing and violence (too much for BBC/ITV/CH4/CH5 to be shown at a decent hour).

I've sky+ Generation Kill, so I will be watching it tonight (it's also repeated monday's night) with high expectations

I'm about to finish watching the wire - downloaded the lot from itunes. Compelling stuff.

[voodooflux]

Deadwood.

A western with a lot of mother****ers and *****...

Not to mention t*t lickers and San Francisco **** suckers.

"Wire producers' Killer new show"

I know nothing about this one but I hear 'The Wire' is the the best TV show ever made bar none yet I've never seen it advertised anywhere?
