Yeah, which correct me if I'm wrong, was originally a Batman ripoff to begin with. Ah well, it's not bad, so I'm watching it too.

Now that I've watched all of "The Newsroom", one of the best lines: Maggie and Will ---
Maggie: "When you asked me to send flowers to (can't remember who) whose wife had just died. And I put "sorry for your loss LOL".

Will: "You put LOL???"

Maggie: "I thought it stood for Lots of Love!"

I can just picture it!

Working my way through "Hell on wheels" now, love it so far.

Got the first 2 seasons of The Wire.

Well... Seeing what the fuss is about, review so far:

Despite taking a while for the plot to set in, one great thing about this show is that the characters are very involved, not black and white good/bad guys, but both sides have shades of grey. Unlike those judicial robotic detectives you see in a lot of other criminology tv shows.

Although the missions seem impossible to crack they continuously reproach ways to dig out their alibi. Of course, ultimately it leads up to installing the most complex wire-taps within public phones suspiciously used in the world of drug trade, coding and figuring out real identities of these incognitos that keeps you guessing along side.

It also gives some sort of an understanding of the culture surrounding this show. It's quite attentive and detailed from both ends, and somehow they muddle up and work together while still aiming towards their own goals.

This show is starting to become addictive the more it goes, and I'm only around 3/4 of the first season.

Guess it deserves the praise so far.

I wouldn't be surprised if you've watched all 60 episodes by the end of November.

I liked the first season a lot but haven't seen anything beyond that yet.
