    I've got a similar TV watching conundrum with all my shows closing out for the year.

    Maybe American Horror Story if it's available On Demand.

    Anyone know how Homeland is? I know I can get that On Demand.


    You made a good choice.

    A coworker of mine watches HOMELAND and says its awesome..also i read alot of Bill Simmons Grantland and they have a weekly Homeland review.. Im a simmons junkie and he always references the Wire so i guess you could say thats why i started watching it.. but to answer your question , from what ive read and heard..its a great show. I usually have a habit of reading the episode review after ive watched an episode. Helps me put things together

    the wire is the best show i've ever seen. if you have access to all the seasons and episodes like i do you will be watching 3-4 episodes a day.

    great choice. my advice: take it slow. it takes a while to get used to its pace. rewatch some episodes even. it's probably not going to sell you on the pilot but keep watching. i didn't get super intrigued until about episode 7 and beyond that, i was hooked. prepare for greatness.

    I'm a Simmons junkie as well, and I've read a few of the Homeland recaps, which seems rediculous seeing as I don't even watch the show, but I still find them amusing. Particularly the one he wrote filling in for Seppinwall. His step by step analysis of stuff always exagerates the rediculousness of stuff. It's like when he does his minute by minute draft blogs. Always amusing.

    I'm envious of everyone who's yet to watch The Wire. You get to experience it for the first time

    When watching the wire you have to remember that there are many layers to the show. It's a cop and street dealer show on one level. On another level it's about corruption in our system. On another level it shows how institutions affect and mold individuals. And on yet another level it's about retribution and the strengths and weaknesses of individuals.

    Or just remember the famous Stringer Bell quote: "There's games beyond the f*ckin game."

    Good luck and enjoy!
