(1) a heroin addict named Bubbles (2) a brutal criminal named Omar (3) a brilliant drug pusher named Stringer Bell (can't really find a good video without spoilers) I love some of these scenes I highly recommend this series if you're looking for a great drama after Breaking Bad. Plus it ended around 2007 or so, so you can watch the entire series without having to wait 6 months to see what happens next episode waiting for a new season.

| Nice! Thanks for the tip. I'll watch the clips when I get home. Connection at work is a bit slow. But the heroin use parts are gonna be hard to see.

| I still have yet to watch The Wire... I've been wanting to, since Baltimore is so close to home as it is. But it's not on netflix so I have to find a place to watch it. The only other show that I got really hooked on was Nip/Tuck, but only the first 3 1/2 seasons were really good. It got really weird in 5 and 6. But I just had never seen another show like it- it's so original, well written, and if you like just REAL characters who are deeply flawed but you somehow manage to still either like them or care for them.. it's a good show, if you can get through the plastic surgery scenes which are only max 5 mins or so per episode. Also lots of sex lol, as a warning. But it gave me a different opinion on plastic surgery (I did not used to think highly of it, it's opened my mind). And all of the stories are about real cases they base them off of. I am so intrigued by that lifestyle too, as it's so not me, but I know many people who live like that. It's just interesting to me to get different perspectives, I guess. But to be honest it was one of those shows I NEVER thought I would like, not really 'my type' but I think it's worth looking into. I can't decide if you would like it or not but might be worth giving a try and at least watch episode 1 of season 1. Tuco is in it! LOL. Actually Hank appears too and a few others I think from BB, oddly enough. It's kind of a mix of like Breaking Bad and like... I don't even know. But it was another series I watched all 6 seasons fairly quickly.

| I see the complete series of The Wire for $45 on ebay: THE Wire THE Complete Series DVD 2008 23 Disc SET 883929023196 | eBay Maybe get the first 2 or 3 episodes off itunes (@ $1.99 each) and see if you like the series. Or download it somewhere. A lot of people don't like Season 2, but otherwise it's considered really strong the other 4 (I personally find Season 2 amazing though). It's a really ugly portrayal of the Baltimore PD from a Baltimore PD homicide detective, but they're still shown as the good guys for the most part.

| Never have seen any of Nip/Tuck. I'll have to check it out and see what I think.

| Honestly though, there's only 3 shows I can say I really liked: 1. The Wire 2a. The Sopranos 2b. Breaking Bad Not sure which I rank higher between 2a and 2b. On one hand Breaking Bad has characters that you can care about while every major and minor character other than Dr. Melfi is pretty evil on The Sopranos. But I love the action in Sopranos and there are a couple of really creative episodes: e.g., the one where Tony is hallucinating Big Pussy as a fish, or the two where he's dying and hallucinates that he's a DOD contractor. But Breaking Bad has real character development while everyone in Sopranos is one-dimensional.

| I only watched a few eps of Nip Tuck. I saw the Kimber doll episode, and a few others with Kimber's evil girlfriend who looks like Minnie Driver and Posh Spice had a love child. That show wasn't for me.

| For those who didn't see the conversation with the writer and cast, here it is. A Conversation with the "Breaking Bad" Cast & Creator on Livestream I thought I should have given up with season 3 when I got to season 4 because of one horrid part but so glad I didn't. Really it's a wonder I didn't have an anxiety attack later on into it. Think train. For those who didn't watch it yet, I must tell you, you will find yourself saying 'Poor Jessie' over and over, talking to the screen in front of you.

| Are you guys talking about the episode that just aired? I'm barely starting season 4 now. Jesse just killed Gail.

| Yes. Last night's episode is one of the two or three greatest episodes done for the entire series.
