I enjoy Dexter and Mad Men...they're not in the same league but they're the best of a bad bunch...I see CH4 are showing Generation Kill from Wed...is it to be recommended?
I agree. Such hard acts to follow. True Blood and Mad Men never quite had the same magic. I am big fan of Dexter but the next season needs to really add some variety to what has been 3 very similar seasons so far. Generation Kill is very good but I don't think it was ever intended to be as deep as story as Sopranos or The Wire.
The ending of the Sopranos left me literally numb, I loved the show in its entirety and I loved the ending. The Wire was even better as it more a social commentary then focused on any 1 group of characters. The finale to The Wire is television writing at its finest. I have now started The Shield and just finished Season 1 and I'm enjoying it immensely. All signs point to this being a truly excellent show.
