| Coast is the only thing I make anything approaching an effort to watch these days. Finished now though.... until next time. That's good telly is that.
I'm liking that Lost Land of the Volcano thing at the moment, but I'm not sure how much longer that's going to be on for.
I'm also watching Chuck on DVD at the moment, which is quite amusing.
That is all.

It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

Fancy checking that out but next I want to see "Generation Kill", again by David Simon/Ed Burns, but this time about Iraq (but like the Wire it's as much about the characters)
Also tempted to try one of Simon's books

| On US shows....
Heroes and House both begain their new seasons in the US last night. Hopefully be watching tomorrow ish
Last night I watched last episode of season 1 of Dark Blue, which I thought was decent enough to warrant another season, which may not it seems happen. Shame.
Warehouse 13 is fun to watch
There's a new show called 'Bored to Death' which I hope to watch this week.

| Hardly ever watch TV. Hardly ever anything on to tempt me to do so.
Been suffering with man flu recently so watched a fair bit this past week in bed with a box of tissues........
Watched Bangcok Dangerous last night. Utter drivel.

| Supernatural, True Blood and Harpers Island are all top quality.
I watched the Wire once, fell asleep and had the most incredible dream ever, however this was ruined by the fact that upon waking up Whiskey the Yorkshire Terrier was licking my nuts, strangely stimulating but on reflection slightly wrong.

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets is excellent. It works like the best detective fiction, but gives insight into so much more than just policing or just Baltimore. The Corner is good too, but relentlessly hard work.

46993.gif The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves,
"You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.:46993.gif |

| It's all subjective, but without any shadow of a doubt the best drama I have personally ever watched. I was devastated when it ended. We'd taken Series 5 on holiday with us and had watched it all in the first 24 hours of being there. Omar is THE best character I have ever seen in a drama. He was a very brave character to inject into an American show. Everything the christian right in America would hate. He was a drug dealer, a homosexual, a drug stealer and an afro caribbean. Brilliant! I was so upset when he died the way he did. But then that too was very realistic. It wasn't about a final triumphant fire fight or car chase. The modern day Robin Hood. David simon and George Pelecanos are TV gods in my eyes. If you need a Wire fix get reading George's crime novels. Did I mention that I quite liked The Wire?

| The Wire was garbage. Quite possibly the most overated TV show in history. if I wanted to watch a load of wannabe gangsters who you cant understand and a load of corrupt police officers, Id just go to Leeds, not sit through an hour of that cr@p

Actually some of those "wannabe gangsters" are very much the real deal (see for example Snoop Pearson).
I wouldn't for a minute have expected you to be able to cope with a program as intellectual (and morally) challenging as The Wire. Thankfully HBO make telly like that for the minority and you can stick to Big Brother 27.
