Winding down on last season of The Wire.  Looking for recommendations for other stuff on HBO GO.

Already tried rewatching Band of Brothers, didn't do that much for me.  First couple episodes of Generation Kill didn't work either.
Treme, Oz, Carnivale, Deadwood?

No comment on Treme and Carnivale, but Oz has not aged well.  Deadwood is still great.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I was just throwing shows on the wall similar to Wire as don't think Bored to Death, Big Love, True Blood and some others would be to Yi's liking at all.

Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Deadwood. Carnivale if you're ok with weirdness.

Already watched GoT, gave up on Empire in real time after 2ish seasons.

Deadwood is fantastic, yeah.  I liked Newsroom, in a dirty West Wing kinda way.  And I would fuck the freckles off Olivia Munn.

Guilty pleasure:  Eastbound and Down.  Fuck is that shit funny.

Did Yi see the first True Detective

katmai

I figured Newsroom be too liberal for Yip :P

Caught the tail end of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.  It still holds up well in my opinion.  I always enjoy it at the very least. :lol:

I agree.

I saw the stage performance in Melbourne with Geoffrey Rush.  It was also very good.

"A Funny Thing" is great. I also note that it is a comedy that manages to be both naughty and smart at the same time; nowadays we only seem to be able to get one or the other in comedies.
