Entertaining, but I can't help but think of it as a light version of Breaking Bad, which in turn is a light version of The Wire. So it's hard to look at this show very seriously, but its fine.

Does anyone watch the revamped "Dr. Who"? I just saw a series recap on BBC America, and it seems like it might be good. The series is on instant watch on Netflix, but is it worth the time?

I have to disagree that Weeds is in any way related to The Wire.

Weeds is a comedy about some of the most repulsive humans you could imagine, that the corporates used 'marijuana' as a carrier topic for the show is kind of annoying to me, but typical. Didn't Weeds preceed Breaking Bad, also?

Sure, it did precede Breaking Bad. I didn't mean to phrase it that way. And I'll agree with your assessment. The reason I linked them all together is that they all are focused around the drug trade. And I guess that's where I'm a bit short sighted.

There's another strange thing. You call Weeds a comedy, which I'll concede that it is, but bizarrely, I don't find it that funny. I don't mean that to say it's bad. But I hardly ever laugh at it. Hell, I laugh more at The Wire than Weeds. Except for Kevin Nealon, he's amazing.

In any case, I guess what I meant by comparing them was how seriously each show takes its particular drug. And compared to heroin and meth, weed is kind of eh. Still a good show though.

Though one point against Weeds, I haaaaate that theme song. I can take almost anything, but I have to mute that intro whenever I watch it.

I guess AMC is too uncool for people to watch it.


I felt like the beginning of this season was a little weak. But since then I think it's found its footing again. But I do regularly during an episode find myself missing the days when when they winging it, cooking in a shitty RV in the middle of the desert, those were fun times.

The Hour on BBC America. Out of all the shows that seem inspired by "Mad Men", this seems to be the year of the hour long drama set in a past decade. This is possibly the best one.

been watching misfits on hulu. a combination pizza hut and taco bell of skins+heroes, but funnier than either, and not as preposterous as heroes got with all the story-destroying time-travel shit. extra points for religion/"purity" bashing.
