So if you haven't seen it and don't want/can't afford to buy the box sets, here is your chance to catch it. I really doubt it will ever be bettered as a drama series. (BTW I notice the legendary Omar pops up in Gone Baby Gone.)

TG4 from 28th.

If you scroll down someone says they got an email from TG4 stating Season 5 will start on July 28th at 10.30pm. For those of you with FX it starts July 21st

I would even go so far and say I have a favourite character in Preston Burke :)

Agree 110%, fantastic series, really well shot and great acting (esp. when most of the cast were unknown)... A great mini-series

Oz is great, horrific in it's violence - almost too disgusting to watch at times - but compelling viewing for it's drama. One thing's for sure, I'd do what Ken Lay did at the prospect of spending federal time in the US if Oz is anything to go by.

In fact most documentaries have me riveted.

I saw that too, I can't remember the guy's name, but it was tragic viewing, espcially when he was camcordering the break down of his marridge and his relationship with his children. Heart warming at the end when he was giving the colledge speech at the end telling everyone of the dangers of addiction but that no matter how low you go, it's never too late to turn it around.

First episode of The Wire up to the usual standard. The opening sequence was very funny.

Yeah, a little cracker. Came across it a while back on BBC3. Definitely in the Royal Family/Early Doors vein

Anyone see "A Dander with Drennan" on BBC2 on the weekends, sorry i cant remeber what night its on, but jeez its just plain weird
its about Ulster Scots culture, and this guy Drennan (who is clearly as mad as a hatter) wandering all over Antrim and the like meeting the other irish we dont talk about!!
Its very good, if you can decipher what the hell they are talking about

just got cancelled(or not renewed) by HBO, so I think you'll only have about 2 seasons to watch unless another cable station like Comedy Central picks it up, wich would be smart, I can't imagine it cost's that much to make.

I've also watched the first 4/5 episodes (via lovefilm) and gave up. Strange is an understatement Pete!

Dexter is utterly addictive and on dvd. Entourage (Let's hug it out!), The Shield are both class shows and the new HBO series True Blood appears to be off to a good start.

I thought HBO was at its best with Rome, Oz, Deadwood and the Sopranos, Rome being my top favorite.

New series of Entourage started in the states on sunday, first episode was ok, not it's best, but still pretty good.

starts on ITV2 tomorrow. If anybody has missed the last two episodes from the last series they are repeated at 2.25am tomorrow morning.

I didn't like the last series as much as the others so I'm hoping series 5 picks up.

Just finished watching Season 1 of "Terminator-The Sarah Connor Chronicles". Would call it a good TV series but nothing special.

Nah, my book says The Wire gets that accolade. Stunning stuff. Can't ever imagine it being bettered. (Season 5 was a little less perfect than the others, but still had a great ending.)

I'll raise your 2 as I am watching series 3 now. ;)
3rd series is the first one not based on the books. Jimmy Smit has been added as new character. So far so good.

One of my favourite shows & surprised not shown on Irish TV. ITV was also a strange choice for UK terrestrial TV.
