[quote=NickyScarfo] Although, I probably rate Oz higher, since it does not have a weak season unlike the Sopranos.
Which season of Sopranos is supposed to be the weak one? I have been watching it for the first time during the last month and much as I adored the first 2 seasons, I find myself reluctant to continue after season 4, which was, IMHO, rather boring and rife with ridiculously unbelievable stuff as well as repetition of the same old. Is it the bad season or is there worse still to come?
It paved the way for some of the great HBO shows like the Sopranos, the Wire, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Rome, etc.
All of my favorite stuff, except for Deadwood, which I have yet to see!
I would also suggest "The Shield", which is complete and went out with a real bang. It is about corrupt cops and is less realistic than "The Wire", but it is, IMHO, great. The protagonist certainly deserves a place of honor among the fictional criminal masterminds
.
Re: season 4 of the Wire, IMHO it starts out slowly but has a really strong second half/ending.
