It's one of those shows that I know I'm gonna end up watching at some point, but I can only watch so many cop shows at one time. I know The Wire is supposed to be as much a cop show as Watchmen is a superhero comic, but I'm in need of something preferably not crime-related. After I make my way through the last few seasons of Weeds I'm probably gonna be dramedy-ied out, so perhaps something head****y and dark. Might finally watch Twin Peaks, but I'm gonna need something else afterwards, since that's only two seasons long.
Maybe I'll rewatch X-Files or something. Haven't seen an episode since it went off the air. I guess I could always give Fringe another shot. I stopped watching after a few episodes once I got tired of watching what I saw an X-Files clone with boring explanations for all the weird **** that was going on. I hear it was supposed to get a lot better and weirder later on. Dude, maybe old episodes of The Outer Limits. That show was a pretty sweet modernization of The Twilight Zone that didn't get nearly enough credit. Just wish I wasn't mostly caught up with Game of Thrones. I know there are new episodes, but I'd rather binge on a whole season. Maybe rewatch the first season of Rome and then finish the series.

I only saw it recently and .. well, it's one of those things you cannot unsee - it wil f*ck up all other cop shows for you. It's that god damned good. And it has really great music too! Also if it's a cop show, it's also a drug dealer show, corrupt politician show, journalism show and teacher/school show. Oh, and an workers union show. Multiple points of view are shown and there are very few good guys - but you can find them on all sides. Don't watch the X files. I tried that - and the only thing I got was my nostalgia fueled memories burning to the ground. There are some shows that can withstand the "test of time", things like the A team that was pure cheese from the start and you don't mind how goofy it is ... well, not that much anyway. But the X files ... re watching several episodes from season 1 just made me sad ![]() |

Or just watch The Wire and thank me later.
I'll even change your avatar to [insert several favourite characters] free of charge.

Like I said, I don't really want to get into another crime drama for a while. Wouldn't even be interested in finally finishing The Sopranos or starting Breaking Bad.

Comic book heroes are comic book heroes and are exempt from any and all fatigue. Hopefully it'll be up on Tube+ pretty quick so I don't have to wait to watch it.
