So this was one of the first shows I remember watching on HBO that kicked my ass hard. In fact, I ended up seeing the pilot episode the day it aired by accident, but I missed the first 10 mins. So I'm flipping around and come across it. I'm in awe. I was probably baked because I totally thought it was the most brutal documentary ever. Haha. Then I realized it was a show, and was fucking hooked.

All of the seasons up until about 6, are awesome. Then it's starts getting kinda weird. Well when Luke Perry shows up it gets fucking weird, but everyone needs to watch this show.

We just started watching season 3 (I've seen em all, and this used to be my "Lost" on Sunday nights after X-Files) again this week. And goddamn this show needs more love.

Too many awesome characters: Beecher, Schillinger, Keller, Adebsi (Mr. Eko!) and the list goes on and on.

If you are a fan of crime dramas, you owe it to yourself to check this show out. Too fucking hardcore.

Thought this show was awesome back in the day. Watched an episode on demand a while ago. Seemed a bit dated and not as shocking as I remember. But if you've never seen it, you really should. Adabisi is bad MF.

[Abraham Smashington]

Oh, this show still kicks all kinds of ass. Especially as the seasons go on.

[Nathan]

Seemed like the riot was the highpoint. The later seasons did get weird.[swipe] The Cyril aging drug thing for one.

[Abraham Smashington]

Well the riot was in the first season. then there was another one. [swipe]And totally on the aging drug thing...but I was talking more about [swipe] Luke Perry becoming a Jesus like figure after he was walled up and burned

[Nathan]

First season? Really? Huh. Never saw all of the Luke Perry stuff. What about the other warden thing too?

[Abraham Smashington]

Seriously, this show plots were all over the map for the most part. So much shit would happen in any given season. The other warden was a dick. Zeddmore for the fucking win.

[Nathan]

Maybe the episode I watched last was subpar. My memories of this show were pretty outstanding. Oh, and if you're going to watch this show, be prepared for a good bit of butt sex and swingin' cocks.

[Abraham Smashington]

Totally. But the "love scenes" totally work due to the commitment of the actors. Plus half the people in this show are now on at least one version of a Law and Order. It's weird to see them as cops and also hardened criminals.

[nerdious dorkus]

i totally wanted to check this show out before i had cable... bah, another show to buy on dvd.

[Abraham Smashington]

Don't buy it. Just netflix it first.

You may not even dig it.

Which means you'd be shunned...

[nerdious dorkus]

i'm sure i'd actually like it. i've heard really, really good things about the show. and it's something i had wanted to see before. i could probably netflix the first season and see how i like it. i usually end up buying v shows i like on dvd since i like rewatching them. e.g. sliders and simpsons.

[Abraham Smashington]

That is true. It's too bad they are still so expensive.. Fucking HBO dvds.

[nerdious dorkus]

haha, serious. i rented carnivale once, fucking loved it, found out the dvd set cost $100, and then proceeded to cry.

[Abraham Smashington]

Shit, I never gave that show a chance really since they never properly finished it. We have both seasons, just never watched more than one episode. I didn't feel like getting emotionally invested in a show that had no conclusion.

Same reason I hate NBC for cancelling Surface. While that show was pretty hit or miss, I loved the fuck outta it, and the last episode threw down the gauntlet. Then...CANCELLED...just like The 4400...which was so fucking dope after the first season.
