I’ve watched it all so far. It’s good but for some reason, I’m not that excited. I think the year off soured me

Been home sick this weekend so crammed like 1.5 season in.. Season 3 episode 3 right now. Hoping to get fully caught up in a few weeks.. and then catch up with this season, so I can watch the last few weeks live.

Even though it’s a shell of the show it was for the first four seasons I’ll probably check it out. Although I really don’t care how it ends anymore they’ve killed off or ruined too many characters

The two best HBO shows remain the wire and the sopranos

That’s basically the dame thing that I did during season 7 and then had to wait 2 years for this season; so of course I rewatched it all again over the last couple months.

I keep hearing a lot of people have watched this 2 or even 3 times over. Just to catch everything and keep up with the storylines.

I really like it to far. Better than I thought. I suspect it will make my top10 when it's all said and done, but maybe higher.

The books are even better. Martin puts insane amount of work into his stories.

Tie him to a chair and have him finish it .

He can do what he wants but it’s pretty clear at this point the series isn’t gonna be finished at least not by him. It’s like wheel of time

Doesn’t seem right to me considering how many folks have devoted time to reading them

Yeah and it sucks. Character development in the book is so much better .

The only shows that are in the same class as GOT are Breaking Bad, Seinfeld, & Bosom Buddies.

Unfortunate to hear this.. seems a lot of shows have a hard time being great from start to finish. Some of my favorites like Silicon Valley and Rescue Me went to ****. Even Sopranos had some pretty angering seasons.

Welp.. they can't ALL be "The Wire" now can they?

Even the wire last season isn’t as good as the rest

Still pretty damn good. I don't think any season gets lower than a 9 from me. And I appreciate a show like The Wire or Oz that has so little to work with.

Is Oz good ? I’ve been looking for a new show to start on hbo and I’m not that into boardwalk empire. Deadwood is really good too

I like a good drama and I like realism. For as much as I'm enjoying GoT, there's an awful lot to play with and an awful lot of times we have to suspend disbelief.

Oz was great. Gritty, good acting. But it will leave you almost depressed after every episode. There aren't many "good" characters. Like The Wire, I thought it did a great job depicting it's content: a hopeless life in a maximum security prison.

As for The Wire.. season 2 seemed to be the weakest, from a story point, and didn't quite fit in with the rest. They did tie it in at the end. Also, Frank Sobotka was great..
