Could possibly be used for Treme as well, if that show doesn't get enough talk for its own thread.

Six Feet Under is incredible. I'm only halfway through the second season right now, but it's just a perfect, poignant, funny study of a hideously disfunctional family.

Probably my favorite show, never could get into SFU so it's not even in the same ballpark for me.

Not sure about how I rank the seasons but 4 is definitely a 10, while the others are all interchangeably rated between 9 and 10.

And so many great characters that I also can't rank but I can say that Bubbles story arc was probably the best imo

Bubbles just breaks my heart in season 4.

I just finished season 2. This show is fucking amazing. I probably won't post again in this thread, at risk of viewing spoilers, but I just had to say how amazing I think this show is.

So many great characters....Omar, Bubbles, Freamon, the Sobotkas, McNulty, Bunk, Prez, Daniels, Stringer, Avon, D'Angelo, Brother Mouzone (this guy is uber bad-ass, I want more of him in season 3), and the list just keeps going and going.

I would say season 1 and 2 are about equal. I maybe, slightly prefer season 1. I'm not sure. I'll just say they're equal.

But damn, if season 3 and 4 are even better, then this just may surpass Twin Peaks as my favourite drama series.

Got season 1 for Christmas :dec-smile:

I'm revisiting season 1 with a friend. He's never watched the show before, and it's been ages since I finished the first season before eagerly starting the second one.

Season 2 being a personal favourite of mine, I can't wait to finish the equally amazing first season and move on to the next. Frank Sobotka, here I come! :dance:

Good stuff, a lot of similarities in our posts. I'm currently in the process of my yearly re-watch of the series (3rd time now) A few eps into season 2 and it's all as good as ever.

Just watched the first episode last night, please tell me it gets better. I mean, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't very interesting, either. And don't tell me shows are never good right from the get-go, cause SFU and Oz had me hooked from episode one.

It gets better.
