I just finished season two. It's alright. Nothing fantastic.

I tried a few episodes of Nip/Tuck before I started watching Breaking Bad and I absolutely hated it. The acting is cringe-worthy.

I finished Underbelly season 3 which was pretty good but I'm badly in need of a new series of the Sopranos.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Finished Underbelly s03.. very good, but not as good as the first series, I thought. Finished Fraiser (all 11 seasons start to finish) a couple of weeks ago. It's no Cheers, but similar and quite close. It kept me interested to the end anyway.

Starting on the Six Feet Under box set now. Only half-way through the first series, but I like it. Well produced/acted out, and not too girlie/Grey's Anatomy that I'd been told to expect. Have West Wing waiting for me then.

Weeds is a fantastic show that's been criminally ignored this side of the ocean. Sky are the only ones who've shown it over here and they've given up on it now. :evil:

Onto the last series of The Sopranos. It's really excellent I have to say. Only thing I don't like are the f%~king dream bits, they do my head in tbh.

Don't think anyone answered you. I will - no.

Agree.. although there was a whole thread of stuff on a Sopranos message board about how the dream bits related to the plot/story/characters and how some people thought they were brilliant and these people were really clever and everyone who thought they were rubbish were a bit dim..etc.. :roll:

The ending was pretty controversial (if you can call it that) as far as I remember. Lot's of people hated it and were fairly annoyed, but lot's loved it and it thought it was a great way to finish. Personally I thought it was good, but my better half hated it.

Yes, I would suspect you are right.

I think this is exactly the type of debate they were trying to promote by the ending... I'll bet there are tons of discussions on interweb forums about it.
This has prompted me to go and watch the last episode again, I've only seen it the one time.

I hated Mackey or whatever his name was, I thought he was a cringeworthy character.
