    Entourage is good for what it is--a few friends living the life and slaying hot chicks. I hate Dexter. And the Wire is the best show I have ever seen by far. I'm rewatching it right now and it blows my mind some of the subtle messages in the show that I didn't catch the first time.

    Gonna download a few episodes of the Shield to see if I like it thanks to this thread. I thought about trying it back in the summer but opted for Lost instead. Glad I did.

    what is a good price for the series of the wire? i've been shopping around and have seen $100+ everywhere. i rented it when i watched it the first time but, it is worth the buy and i want to get it.

    Fuck entourage, watch the Sopranos instead. The Wire is great; just make sure you watch enough Dexter to be up to speed when the new season starts (you have plenty of time to do that though).

    I'd suggest using a semi public site like Demonoid just to figure shit out. Once you get that down I'm sure someone here could dig up a tv ro invite for you :thumb:

    you should utilize our knowledge and instead of spending 100+ for all the seasons you should make a donation to this site to keep it running. :thumb: that said if you need help or sites to get it from i have invites in the donors forum :gocho:

    I'd watch the Wire first. Isn't the series over now? Either way i've always heard good things. I haven't seen an episode because it's not my thing but like I said i've heard great things about it. They actually use it in several college courses all over the country. I'm pretty sure Harvard teaches a course on it and I know 'Bama does.

    I'm a fan of Entourage but I understand what it is. A fun show I watch with a couple friends. Money, girls, etc.

    I just started watching Dexter and i'm hooked. Can't get enough of it. About to start the third seasons and it's one of, if not the best, show on TV right now easily. The first season is one of the best season's of any show ever aired.

    About to start on Dexter for the first time so I can't comment on it.

    I've seen the other two so I can comment there.

    I enjoy Entourage, but The Wire is the greatest show ever imo.

    listen to your mw2 brothers.

    entourage is awesome imo

    the wire is a cop/city drama but is probably the GOAT

    i'd go with entourage first because after you watch the wire everything else seems :meh:

    You should like Dexter. Season 1 is the best..Season 2 is a close second. Don't let seasons 3 or 4 keep you from being productive because they arent worth it

    this x100000...Entourage is awesome just because they're funny and it's a good watch. Dexter is addicting as hell and is actually really good writing (whoever said earlier ITT that it was bad writing is the first i've seen say that). and The Wire, well i've heard great things and intend to watch it, just haven't

    As many have already said, the wire is the best show that has ever been produced. The characters are so in depth it is awesome, I would honestly say 20 of my top 40 tv characters all time could be from The Wire. Whether its a cop (McNulty, Bunk, Freamon), a thug (Weebay, Marlo, Stringer, Prop Joe) crackhead (Bubs) or a crooked politician this show has it all. It's already finished so you can watch it all through and not be having to wait on another season, these other shows are still in production so you can catch up with those after watching the best show fucking ever.

    if you watch the wire first then entourage and dexter are going to suck, watch entourage first then dexter then finish with the wire.

    Dexter is terrific. Entourage blows, IMO.

    Entourage = Sex and the City for guys. It's nothing special.

    I haven't seen the Wire, but I will be now!

    His character is amazing, and Michael C. Hall does an amazing job of bringing him to life. Dude needs to find a good movie role.

    so i watched the first 3 episodes of entourage last night and its been all right. I'll tough it out through the first season but if it doesn't get better I think I'm going to bail and start with dexter. BTW Turtle is annoying as fuck.

    I episode into The Wire so far. Not sure how I'm going to like it yet but I will probably give it at least 3 more episodes.

    I don't know, maybe it's because I'm such a movie geek but scripting in TV shows seems awkward and retarded in 95% of shows that aren't comedies.

    I just don't see how you could watch Dexter, compare it to most other crap that's on TV, and say that it just plain sucks. It's easily in the top tier of shows currently airing. In terms of TV shows, comments like that should be saved for George Lopez comedies and reality shows.
