So who watches it and agrees it's the best show on TV?

Everyone? I'm glad we're all agreed.

I wondered into this thread with trepidation of spoilers as I am aware the new season is airing in USA right now but I usually wait a month or so, so that I can spend a hungover saturday watching one after another. I think it's brilliant although I'm curious as to what direction it will take now, to the point I'm afraid it may have reached it's peak and could start to become silly but we shall see.

I saw adverts but never saw the program, looked good though. My dad was talking about it and the story sounds good, is the first series being repeated any time soon?

Ah yes i gobbled up season 1, well most of it but then hit the point of checking the calender on a regular basis waiting for new episodes. I too worried it had peaked during season 1, after season 1, after 2... especially after 2, and after 3.
Without giving anything away as expected the new season is back to how it's always been, routine stuff with something always building in the background. If i had to describe events so far in a single worth i think it would be 'Aftermath' Laughing

I think the acting is faultless, by everybody, if i met any of the cast i would think they were their character and that's really saying something given how much i loved Malcolm in the Middle!
It's not Game of Thrones writing kinda good, but then it's written for TV rather than adapted so it's full of visuals. To be honest i think Breaking Bad could have made one fucking amazing comic, though that would have been horrible as i'd have to listen to everyone talk about how the comic was better than the show Rolling Eyes

Anyway, i didn't think they'd get more than a season out of it. Now i'm going to be gripped all the way to the end of season 4. If they keep this up the show could have one hell of a long run. I know that sounds bad, like it'll become tired and old and be in need of killing off, but the ratings are only going up and the plot is only thickening. I like the way it's not afraid to take it's time over things, very refreshing compared to most current TV and i think a contrast that will likely get bigger rather than smaller.

Season 1 is widely available on the intertubes in formats ranging from streaming to full HD. I think that the pilot does a good job of showing you what to expect of the series. It's cool, dark, slow, and at times really funny. I've yet to see a single person not be utterly engrossed by it Laughing

Gonna give it a go, got the pilot to watch. Dexter is still my top TV show, it's not on though so could do with an alternative for those bored times.

I just found out the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm has started to air as well. In the meantime I'll plow my way through season 7 of House. Gotta love it when quality viewing strings itself together like this, it helps me blank out all the Retard TV that swamps the airwaves.

Seasons 1 and 2 were badly hit by the writers strike so they are quite short. The wait for season 4 was nearly 18 months but it finally started again about 10 days ago.

I don't own a TV. I'd be surprised if it ever made it on to British TV at all let alone any time soon.

Amazingly it has showed up on cable (FX I think). However the sun will become a White dwarf before season 4 reaches these shores.

Dexter is awful! At least after the 3rd season (Arthur Mitchell one). Before that it was my favorite show but now it's hard to watch. I also cannot bare the ultra bright contrasted vibrant colours.

The trailer for the last season made it seem like it was finally coming to an end, but i'm guessing the last season was the same crap & nothing came of it? It's a lot like Prison Break, Heroes & all the other shows that lose steam after having a great start. Hopefully Dexter at some point will be on the run & then i'll watch from the 4th season on, but for now it doesn't do it for me.

Breaking Bad on the other hand is amazing. Men Of A Certain Age is also fantastic, wasn't sure at first but it's a great blend of comedy/drama.

I caved earlier this week and am up to date, still looking to the direction it will take, they've announced a 5th and final season so looks like things can still get interesting yet.

One and Two rocked. Season 3 just set up plot arcs. Same as True blood.

Now they have a set end date (season 5), they shouldn't jump the shark too much. Maybe.

Bet half way through Season 5 they'll shock announce another season by 'popular demand'. They have no concept of letting a season die.
