Broadwalk Empire (Emmy award winning gangster series directed by Martin Scorcese)
Season 7 of Entourage
Season 5 of Mad Men
If not do not miss it from the start.
Was, totally, totally gutted when it finished,
I finished Boardwalk Empire today and it was good, looking forward to the second season.
Sopranos is great have just completed Series 3.
Can think of two very good reasons to watch Mad men.;-)
what is mad men
and entourage
Buy the box set mate. Best 50 notes youll ever spend. Ive not seen anything better on television drama- wise other than The Wire.
Not seen Mad men so dont know but sounds good from what ive been told.
I have absolutely no idea!
Entourage is less drama and more of a lighter comedy to be taken at face value, but still one of my favourites and defo worth seeing.
Sopranos is by far the best on offer from Sky Atlantic. I can only echo the comments above, you will stuggle to find anything better.
I find with every single series I watch (and I've seen most of the major US ones) you need maybe half of the first season to really get to grips with everything. I was unsure of Mad Men at the start, and thought that season 1 of the Sopranos was arguably the dullest of the lot, but once you have invested a little time in them, you will almost be begging for the next episode to come around.
As a side note, if you've not seen Curb Your Enthusiasm, give that a go as well. Probably my favourite comedy.
Out of the new stuff I loved boardwalk empire and am looking forward to seeing treme in HD as well
they are showing Sopranos from episode one. Make sure you Sky+ and series link it because i can guarantee it will be the best tv series you have ever seen.
Will give Broadwalk Empire a go as it seems up my street, and also hope they show The Wire which i missed first time round.
Seen the first season, really good stuff. John Goodman is fantastic as always, but Steve Zahn as Davis is excellent. It's similar to the Wire in terms of its ambition to portray the difficulties of everyday life, but to be honest that's where the similarities end. I think the creators tried to stress that point before releasing Treme, I don't think they wanted people to expect another Wire.
Best show after West Wing & Studio 60
It too starts from Season 1 Episode 1 so set your series link :-)
The Office is my favourite thing on the box, the Gareth character Dwight is insanely amusing
I have only watched about an hour of the wire and Sopranos combined and Boardwalk empire is meant to be the shiznit too.
Deadwood had some excellent swearing in it but I only ever saw one or two episodes
Do you get this if you just have a Sky HD basic package or do you need the works?
I've going to sky plus most of this stuff and not watch it straight away. iI there a way to transfer sky+ to a pc or is it all encrypted?
NO!! Don't do this. Once you get into it you'll be chewing your fingers off waiting for the next installment. So go and splash out on the box-set and you can spend days at a time watching this quality show.
IT'S A MUST SEE!!
Not got around to seeing mad men yet (although i did catch the first episode when first aired). Will wait for box-set and indulge myself.
Weeds (hot suburban MILF sells weed to give lifestyle going after hubby dies) is silly but very funny. Looking forward to Boardwalk and Song of Ice and Fire.
