Episode 2 of Terriers was good too - yay!

Is this a show that gets gradually better, or is there a decline in quality as it goes on?

[GoGo Yubari]

Gets better.

[Baddar]

Oh good. I'll probably be done with it in a few weeks.

Watching Justified from the beginning on Sunday.

... and then the disc doesn't play on my laptop, probably because there appears to be a large scratch on the back of it. Fucking Netflix.

Damn you Netflix!

I'm watching Justified at the moment as well, got a couple of episodes of the first season left and it is truly amazing and really fun.

Just wait until you get to the second season. The first is good but god damn, Season 2 is tremendous.

Right you are. Just finished with Season 2 and it really was way better than the first, although that was great too. Here's hoping that you people are right and Season 3 is even better still.

Season 3 has my favorite villain on a TV show in a long time, which is great because prior to S3 S2 had my favorite villains on a TB show in a long time.

Just started watching The Wire last night. Watched the first two episodes and thought it was kinda boring, but I don't wanna stop watching it at the same time.

I was almost certain the black guy (Lt. Cedric something) was the CIA head guy from Homeland (but bulked up/chubbier) but its not!

I also thought I saw Rusty from LA Noire, but it's not him

Definitely stick with The Wire. It took me a while to get used to the pace (which is not a fault of the show, but a fault of me only being used to other shows), but it's simply the best show that's ever been made, hands down.

Though the now-dead black sniper guy from Homeland turning up in The Newsroom was a bit surreal.

Started watching Wire too. Fell asleep during episode one. I was tired, but not that tired.

How long until I'll know if it's my jam?

[Benji]

I watched to episode six and gave up. It wasn't bad, it just didn't hold my interest, I'd find myself looking for my phone or computer to try and keep me entertained whilst I watched it, which is never a good sign.

[Ruki]

The Wire? Took to episode 3 or 4 to really hook me in.

[Fudge]

Is The Wire always in that stupid portable tv box mode for all 5 seasons? It makes it harder to watch :/

I have no idea what you're talking about, so I'm gonna say no.

[Fudge]

4:3 I think.

[LL!]

The world wasn't always 16:9. Get used to it.

[Dingle]

I'm watching classic doctor who and the quality of it isn't an issue for me, so I can't see The Wire being annoying in that sense.

First time Omar shows up. Thats when the show picks up.

I don't even remember the last time I saw anything that wasn't 16:9.

And I was only asking a question which no one answered, I don't care if it's like that or not, but thought maybe the later series' would be widescreen.

Is he the guy who hates Obama? I knew I recognized that guy!

And my love for The Newsroom continues. Episode 2 was so good.

[fr34k]

I actually didn't like the second episode of The Newsroom as much as the first but I'll still keep watching.

Finished with Justified, looking forward to the next season. Regarding Season 3...

The final minutes were heartbreaking. Arlo sacrificing himself for Boyd and basically stating (well Boyd did, but you get what I mean) that Boyd is more like a son to him than Raylan was pretty brutal. The finale was also my favorite episode of the season, second to "Thick as Mud" probably.
