This was the most popular show on the urban scene, a lot more to it than what one thinks.
GREAT SERIES, GREAT PRICE BUY NOW!!!!!!!!!
Buy all 3 and I promise you that you won't regret it.
At that price, buy buy buy
But Season 1 was fantastic. Easily up there as the best HBO shows with Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Sopranos.
Season two does start slow but part of that is the juxtaposition between the gangs in S1 and the Stevedores in S2. David Simon wanted to show the whole of Baltimore's problems, not just the black communities.
At that price you can't afford not to buy these if you love quality long-form drama. Well found!
I know I'm probs the only person that gets annoyed by that. Sopranos is bad like that, but not as bad as the Wire.
(OK - I fancy McNulty! :oops: :thumbsup: )
play.com/DVD…tml
Well yeah - they can but then it wouldnt be DVD quality. True DVD quality should be a max of 2 hours per dual layer disk, hence 2-3 episodes per disk.
The Link above seems to suggest that the UK R2 release is not the one to get due to problems with artefacting because of the conversion from NTSC to PAL ?
How is this in the real world when actually watching the R2 UK DVD's anyone notice anythign bad or off putting enough to consider buying the Region 1 version instead ?
Thanks
I would guess they'll be on FX in about 1/2 a year's time. They are currently repeating all the episodes, and have just started season 2, so you'll have to be patient if you don't wnat to buy them.
